Happy Friday!

As I mentioned on Happy Hour this past Sunday, this is our first breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Friday weekly post, your weekly dose of fun, entertaining and inquisitive things we have going.

Enjoying your salad and cocktails on a Friday would not be complete without a book to read. So, today, in addition to my favorite recipes, I will also share with you what I’ve just read recently.

What I just finished reading (Super Fun Fiction Read) –

“Oona Out of Order” by Margarita Montimore Unlike any book I’ve ever read and kept me entertained the entire time, it’s one of those books I didn’t want to end!

Make your reading time even more exciting by preparing a cocktail. Check out this video that we have for Blended Tequila Sunrise.

What I’m reading (longer and learning LOTS) –

“Superlife: The 5 Simple Fixes That Will Make You Healthy, Fit and Eternally Awesome” by Darin Olien. I first learned of Darin on the Netflix show Down to Earth with Zac Efron. I was so intrigued by his knowledge I decided to check out his book, which is packed full of super great info and it’s fun to read!

Reading this book will be even more worthwhile when you have a salad and a cocktail or two within reach.

Delicious dinner I made (Pictured Above)-

“Rainbow Pad Thai” recipe by Angela Liddon

I’ve made this recipe a couple times now and both times it blows my mind with just how delicious it is! I did make one adjustment, rather than doing Zoodles (zucchini noodles) I made rice noodles, you can totally julienne the zucchini to include them in the dish.

If you’re looking for a cocktail to pair with this Rainbow Pad Thai, try our Caramel Apple Mimosa cocktail.

How about you? What salad and cocktails do you like?

Thanks again for joining us on this fun journey. Please give us feedback. Which item was your favorite? What info do you want more or less of? Do you have suggestions? Please let us know!

Make it a phenomenal weekend!

Cheers to you and yours,
