This week we’re talking food and drink, and I’m sharing five foods and drinks I’m obsessing over this summer. This list could be much longer – I am loving a lot of things this summer, but I’m sticking to five! I’m also heading to the Jersey shore for a bit of beach time and family time this weekend and plan on indulging in most of the things on this list. Have a great weekend, y’all! Don’t forget to check out Cynthia and Mar and some of the other folks who link up with us – and please don’t forget to link to your hosts if you are participating!
- Fresh blueberries. Oh man – I love fresh fruit and I’ve just had some of the best fresh blueberries. I recently bought 2 pounds of yummy New Jersey blueberries and made a delicious cobbler. As I mentioned, we’re going to be in Jersey this weekend, so I plan to pick up some more on our way home.
- Not Your Father’s Root Beer. If you follow me on Instagram you’ve likely noticed my obsession with this beer. It’s kind of my new favorite thing and just so dang tasty! I’m planning on trying their other varieties soon as well.
- Peaches. Because what says summer like a fresh peach? Um, nothing. I love peaches in all forms but just biting into a juicy, sweet peach is summer to me. Yum yum and YUM!
- Heirloom tomatoes. There is NOTHING that compares with a farm fresh tomato. Winter tomatoes are so dang sad and summer tomatoes are just so awesome. I can’t get enough. I actually love to make a sammie with fresh mozzarella, sliced peaches and sliced tomatoes and basil. It is fresh, light and so so good.
- Barefoot Wine Spritzers. Semi-sparkly wine in a can. If loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
What foods and drinks are you obsessing over this summer?
That “root beer” is too good! Imagine it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream?

Girl, you know I been there, done that! And done that again!
All the fruits! I may have gone a little crazy at the grocery stores over the weekend with strawberries, blueberries and cherries.
I tried the Not Your Father’s Root Beer and it is GOOD! I’m not much of a beer drinker but that’s my kind of beer. Love tomatoes!
these all sound so good! i love summer fruit 🙂
I’ve been obsessed with blueberries lately too! And I definitely want to try Not Your Father’s Root Beer.
I have loved fresh produce as well. Peaches are seriously one of my favorites and in the summer, they are the best!
I actually try one of the Barefoot Spritzers a few weeks ago and it was so good – I was definitley impressed!
I only just started eating tomatoes, and I made bruschetta on Saturday. It’s easy, doesn’t involve a lot of cooking, and it was so fresh and yummy.
Love the spritzer comment! lol! I haven’t had any good tomatoes this year yet – I have skipped the farmer’s market a bunch for hill training in the burbs. I need to remedy that. I have been loving blueberries and dug into some awesome watermelon last weekend, too! Have a great weekend!
I can’t get enough of peaches and tomatoes either! Summer fruits are amazing the heat not so much. 🙂 thanks for the link up

Fresh blueberries are the best! I just had some on my toast this morning and it was the perfect start to my day. I need to find those Barefoot Wine Spritzers. I loved them at Zooma. Have a great weekend!
Yes! All the blueberries (any berry really) and tomatoes! Amazing what a difference a summer tomato makes!

Wine spritzers in a can?!?! How have I not heard of/seen these?! My mind is blown. And big yes to blueberries and heirloom tomatoes–I feel like I go a little nuts eating tomatoes over the summer since they’re so depressing in the winter!

Thank you for introducing me to the love that is Barefoot wine spritzers… mmmm.
Summer peaches and tomatoes are the best! I haven’t tried those barefoot wine spritzers yet. I’m going to have to look for them since they sound delicious 🙂

Give me all of the blueberries! I love them with yougurt and hemp seeds. Yummy.
I love the fresh produce at this time of year!
Have you tried “the best cherry cola”… oh, so good!
I am obsessed with all the fresh fruits and veggies this summer!! Blueberries, yum!
i see those barefoot spritzers all the time at the wine stores near me but have yet to try them – sounds like i should! i recently tried the Pampelonne ones and wasn’t impressed at all. not really a fan of the mini Sofia sparkling wine ones either, so hopefully these barefoot do the trick!
I love all things sparkly! 🙂 and peaches – mmmm, I need some.
My Dad and hubby picked wild blackberries from our farm in TN over the 4th and we brought a gallon home. They are so incredible! My parents have such an abundance that my Dad has been picking them multiple times a week and we even made blackberry margs over the holiday. I am loving all the fresh produce right now!

I am jealous of your blueberry bounty!
Cherries is my recent summer fruit obsession! Our tomato plants are finally producing enough tomatoes to put in our salads. Garden tomatoes are so delicious.
I’ve been loving Starbucks Mango Black Teas Lemonades! So refreshing!!
I’ve been obsessing over all of the great fresh produce I’ve been getting from the farmeers market – especially the tomatoes!

Are you still making your way through that bag of spritzers that you put together at ZOOMA? 🙂

Naw – I actually gave a number away that night and then have shared since then 🙂
I LOVE blueberries and that is one of the rare things that is so hard to find in France….
Glad to read your marathon training cycle is going well. My run today will close off week 2 of NYC training….

Yes, heirloom tomatoes are my happy places. Especially the heirloom cherries that I can just pop and eat.
