Favorite Ways to Wrap Up Summer!

TGIF you guys!!!

I'm back today for another Friday Link Up!

And again, I'm linking up with THREE different groups.

Make sure to check them all out at the bottom of this post!

I feel like I JUST posted about Summer Musts,
but that was already a few months ago!
And with the Summer almost over, it's time to talk about
FAVORITE WAYS TO WRAP UP SUMMER!!!

We still have a month or so of hot temps in Los Angeles,
but I know that it will be Fall before I know it.
So today I have just a few suggestions
on ways to capture the last essence of Summer! 

Grilling Outside
Get in some grilling while the weather is still nice and warm.
Burgers, chicken, tacos and much more!!!

Turkey Burgers
Lemon Pepper Chicken
Blackened Tilapia Tacos

Movies in the Park
If you're local to Los Angeles, there are three fun options!
I've only been to Cinespia, but I hear great things about all three.

Cinespia

Street Food Cinema

Eat See Hear

Outdoor Games
Get some friends together for some outdoor games.
Take advantage of the sun being out late
because soon it will be sundown around 5PM!

Bocce Ball

Horseshoes

Volleyball/Badminton

Summer Color Mani/Pedi 
I don't know about you, but I tend to think bright colors for Summer.
Get your last fun, bright mani/pedi before dark Fall colors are all over!

Essie Fashion Playground
Essie Watermelon
DND Gel Pinky Kinky

Back To School Shopping
(Options in high and low price points!)
I'm not in school (and haven't been for years) but I love Back to School time!
New clothes, a new planner and a new bag were always a must for me.

Quiche & My HORRIBLE Life!

I recently had a few friends over for brunch and board games! I like to have brunch every so often because I have so many breakfastish recipes that I want to try, and you can only have them for dinner every now and then.

I've made a quiche for one of these friends before, but this time I wanted to switch it up and try something new! 

I used bacon - like I've done in more than one quiche in the past... 

But this time I added chopped fresh spinach too. 

And shredded pepperjack cheese!

Which was then added to my egg/milk/seasoning mixture.

Then I put a layer of spinach on the bottom followed by a layer of bacon and finally a little of the egg and cheese mixture. Finally, one more layer of spinach, bacon and egg/cheese mixture. Since my friends LOVE melted cheese so much, I added a little bit more to the top of the quiche before putting it in the oven to bake.

My Horrible Life all began while the quiche was baking...

As soon as I put the deep dish quiche in the oven, my friends and I started a The Game of LIFE. From the start of the game, all the way until the end, my Life sucked and I have never seen anyone have a game as bad as mine.  Horrible I say, HORRIBLE!

Yes folks, my pretend life in the game was horrible - not my real life. 

Things started to look up shortly after the game was over because the quiche was ready to be eaten!

It was so amazingly tasty and had a very interesting layered look. There ended up being a thick egg layer on the bottom, which was odd due to how I'd layered everything before baking. 

I'll for sure be making this in the future, but it may have to wait while I try out other breakfast/brunch recipes!
