This a collection of things I'm loving right now. I've included recipes that are perfect for this season and some of my favorite things. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and scroll through all the stuff I've enjoyed this week.

New at Target

I love the clothes for this season as they start to transition to styles that will work for late summer and into fall by adding layers. The colors this year are really pretty too! I want to order a couple of pairs of the new women's jeans. I also love these dresses. They would be so simples to put a sweater on with and wear when the temperatures start to get cooler.

Stuff I Love

What I'm Watching - We are watching The Mosquito Coast on Apple TV. I like the show, but my hang up is the son's character. We only have two episodes left and I'm hoping there is a reason his character has been so annoying.

What I'm Reading - I just tore through in under a week Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It is so good! I highly recommend this multi-generational novel.

What I Just Ordered - I just restocked my Sunwarrior Chocolate Protein Powder. It's my favorite protein powder for smoothies and yogurt bowls.

What I'm Loving - I'm so glad I purchased outdoor lounge chairs for our backyard! I love sitting in these chairs and reading a book. The exact two I have aren't available any longer, but this pair of lounge chairs are very similar.

What I Want to Get - I was just watching a video of man oiling and selling wooden bowls in a french market and thought I need a wooden salad bowl! This wooden serving bowl looks like exactly what I want. It's a bonus that it's only $25!

New Clean Beauty Options

Favorites From Around The Web

I love this simple initial necklace. It gives me a bit of a Carrie from Sex in the City vibe. Or maybe it just feels likes the 90's to me.

This jute area rug looks sturdy and would add a bit of ruggedness to my living room. I love the layered rug look to add some coziness to a room.

This gold flatware is so pretty! I think it would be amazing for fall and holiday place settings.

I'm a big fan of canisters for storing things I buy in bulk and also baking supplies that come in bags. I find canisters in my pantry are so much easier to keep track of and find what I need.

I'm a little bit in love with this white duvet cover set! I think the chenille pattern looks so pretty and it has a bit of a french vibe. So pretty! (I must be dreaming of France lately)

This geometric lamp with it's soft gold and white coloring is beautiful. I don't need new lamps for my nightstand, but if I did I would scoop these up!

I love pretty things for around our house. This waist basket is so pretty! I could leave it sitting out in our bathroom. Although, let me be honest, one of our cats would knock it over and spread it everywhere.

One of the items I use the most in my kitchen is my weighted bottom steel mixing bowl. It's always my go to and I've been using it constantly with all the fruits and veggies from our garden.

I'm a fan of culottes coming back into style. I love this white pair of culottes with their button details on the front.

Gluten Free Pasta Chips

This air fryer recipe for gluten free pasta chips is a great snack idea! I used brown rice gluten free pasta to make this homemade treat. I like them plain or dipped in ranch dip for a healthy snacking option.

Ingredients

Instructions

Cook the pasta per the instructions on the package.

Drain the pasta and pour it into a mixing bowl. Immediately add olive oil and stir to help the pasta not clump together.

Divide the pasta between two bowls and add the seasoning to each bowl. If you are only going to use one flavor you can use one bowl, but remember to divide the pasta into two batches for air frying.

Add the first batch of pasta to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. At the five minute mark take the tray out and shake the pasta so it doesn't clump together. Place the tray back in the air fryer and let your pasta finish cooking.

Pour the pasta chips into a bowl or onto a cookie sheet to let them cool.

Follow the same instructions to cook the second batch of pasta chips.

Serve plain or with your favorite dip. I served these with ranch dip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

Yes! My favorite pasta to use is Jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Farfalle pasta. The brown rice pasta holds together the best when I shake is half way through cooking in the air fryer basket to separate the pieces of pasta.

How long does it take to make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

Like many gluten free foods it takes a bit longer to make gluten free pasta chips that it does using regular wheat pasta. I cooked these chips at 400 degrees for ten minutes. At the five minute mark I pulled the air fryer basket out and shook the chips so they weren't clumped together.

I let the pasta chips cook for another five minutes and then poured them into a bowl to cool. They will be very hot and continue to cook a bit after you have poured them out to cool.

Top Tip

You could really add any seasoning blend you want or omit the seasoning all together and just add some salt. It is key that you add enough olive oil so the pasta doesn't clump together. This will help when you open the air fryer half way through cooking and shake the pasta to separate it.

The New Opalhouse x Jungalow Line at Target

There are so many pieces in this collection that I love! The jewel tone colors are so pretty too. This is one of my favorite collections Target has done in a while. I wish I had room in our tiny house for some of this furniture!

Stuff I Love

What I'm Reading - I just finished Haven Point by Virginia Hume. It was so good! It's the story of a grandmother and granddaughter that spans seven decades and ends up in the current times. It's so well written! I stayed up until 12:30 am to finish this book because I couldn't put it down.

What I'm Watching - I know I'm late to this, but we just got Apple TV+ so I'm watching The Morning Show. It's so good. What a great cast!

What I Just Ordered - Our dogs absolutely love the Top Chews Pork and Chicken Sausage Treats. I love that they are grain free and made in the USA. They actually smell like pepperoni sticks I buy for us!

What I Want To Get - I have this flowy summer top in my cart and I think I need to order it. I love loose fitting, breathable summer clothes!

What I'm Loving - I love these new stackable pint jars from Ball. I love jars for drinking glasses and these stack in my cupboard so nice!

Favorites From The Old Navy Sale

Favorites From Around The Web

I love this simple white shirt from the Macy's Fourth of July sale. It is perfect for summer and would be cute with a blazer for fall.

I'm a big fan of denim shirts. This denim shirtdress version is so cute! It would also go from summer to fall really easily with boots and a scarf.

I didn't know that H&M has an entire beauty line. I'm not sure if it's clean, but they have some really fun highlighter and nail polish.

As someone who is only 5'3" I'm pretty excited for chunky soled shoes to come back in style. I can get some height without the fear in heels of breaking my ankle.

I love baskets for storage. I can feel like things are tidy because they are in their basket. I'm only joking a little. This rope basket looks super sturdy and it's pretty too.

I'm a huge fan of comfy pull on shorts for summer. This pair of linen pull on shorts look cute and breathable for the hot months.

For anyone still looking for the perfect swimsuit this lovely green shaping one piece swimsuit is under $40!

I love a moisturizing lip balm for summer. It gives some color while also keeping my lips hydrated. I'm a fan of this lip balm from Honest.

Gluten Free Raspberry Cornmeal Cake

This easy gluten free raspberry cornmeal cake is made with fresh raspberry and has a dense texture. This dessert is perfect on it's own or with a simple glaze overtop. I love a simple polenta cake for summer dessert or brunch.

I love the combination of cornmeal and summer fruits. This cake is also delicious with fresh strawberries or blueberries. For the tart fruits I like to add a simple powdered sugar and milk glaze. I put my recipe for a glaze in the notes.

In a bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.

In the bowl of your stand mixer beat together the granulated sugar and eggs. Add the milk, vanilla and melted coconut oil. Beat until combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat just until they are combined.

Pour the cake batter into the greased 9-inch springform pan. Place the berries on top of the cake batter to cover the entire top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before releasing the outside of the pan.

Serve plain or with a simple glaze on top.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?

Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this gluten free raspberry cornmeal cake recipe I added milk and coconut oil to make it moist and delicious.

If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.

Do gluten free cakes take longer to bake?

Yes, gluten free baking in general takes a little bit longer to bake than a cake made with regular wheat flour. However, gluten free baked goods tend to brown faster. So you will want to test the cake with a tooth pick in the center to make sure it's actually done even if it looks browned.

Your cake should be a nice golden brown and a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean. You may need to bake your cake up to 5-8 minutes more. If your cake is already very brown, but not done in the center you will need to lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees and cook longer.
