Please forgive the lack of posts I’ve been having lately! We were in Chicago last week, and I’m moving this weekend – so between the travel, the packing, the unpacking, the more packing, the even more unpacking, the settling into somewhere new, and saying goodbye to somewhere old, there hasn’t been much time. I still managed to get to the Friday Finds!

1. The Publican, Chicago, IL

Jonah and I ate at The Publican with my dad and Darla the night we got into Chicago. The space was very cool and the food was phenomenal. I recommend the pork belly.

2. Summer Cocktail

This cocktail over on A Beautiful Mess looks absolutely perfect for a hot summer evening. It also looks super easy: just pineapple juice, mint, cucumber juice, and rum!

3. Restaurant Passport

I spotted this idea on Pinterest, and while the original site seems to not be working, the idea is still brilliant. Jonah and I often have the “where should we go for dinner?” debate. This is a great idea to remind you of the places you’ve been wanting to go, and I think the idea of marking them off once you’ve been is really sweet.

4. Ways to use Hummus

This slideshow from Bon Appetit with 10 ways to use hummus is brilliant. Hummus in salad dressing? Hummus in deviled eggs? There are certainly a few ideas I’d never have thought of.

5. Grilled Portobello Tacos

Mushroom tacos sound delicious to me. Grilled portobello tacos? Even better. I’m not going to make my own tortillas the way Sarah from A House in the Hills did, but still. These look delicious.

6. Sun-dried Tomato Pesto

When I studied in London, I found this sun-dried tomato pesto at the grocery store near my flat that I ate all the time. I mean all the time. As in probably multiple times a week. This recipe for sun-dried tomato pesto looks like it’d be worth a shot, and may get me that much closer to recreating my favorite.
