1. Favorite in dining out –

The Cheesecake Factory lettuce wraps are one of my favorite things there. We went to the mall last night and went there for dinner. If you have not tried them, you are missing out. You get a platter with lettuce, satay chicken strips, carrots, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and coconut curry noodles served up with three delicious sauces – peanut, sweet red chili and tamarind-cashew.

2. Favorite in dining in –

If you follow my Instagram @mlev15, you know the garden has been off the charts this summer, bursting to the brims with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions, carrots…the list goes on and on.

Every single meal at home has included some veggies from the garden.

3. Favorite in subscription boxes – 

I signed up with a blogger discount for August’s bestowed box (you can use code LOVEHEALTHY for 10% off!). Just a reminder, it’s a monthly delivery of healthy food and snacks. I am most excited to try the eboost drinks mix. The insert letter said there was also going to be a soft snickerdoodle cookie and there was not so I wrote asking and they said it was a misprint! Boo! Ha.

4. Favorite in fashion – 

My August Stitch Fix came right on time! Can you guess which item I kept….

The blue dress! So cute and something I would not pick out for myself but that was flattering and fun for the end of the summer!

5. Favorite date with the husband – 

We went on a last minute beach trip Wednesday!

It is less than a half an hour to get to Nahant Beach so we went there for a few hours.

TGIF! What about you – any favorites to share?

    Love all your favorites, I haven’t had Cheesecake Factory’s but I love lettuce wraps – something great about eating with your hands 🙂 My tomatoes have been a bit of a bust this year – squirrel problems 🙁 The beach looks fantastic – definitely worth a 30 minute drive.

    What a garden…I went back to your earlier blogs and noticed the garden was in sterling. The land in central mass is so fertile. I grew up near sterling in hardwick and the farms out there are amazing.

    Does Sal have a stand at the farmers market?

    Nahant is certainly lovely. But for my money Revere Beach in your hometown is just as good and a lot closer.

      Nope I am from CT – Revere is not my hometown 🙂 And no not in Sterling either – we live north of Boston in the Malden area.
