Five on Friday - August 9, 2024 ~ Sheep River Falls, July Month of Vegetarian/Pescatarian Meals, Summer Romance Reads, YYC Icecream Fest, and August Most Anticipated Books

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a good week! 

ONE 

I purchased everything in this post

This past weekend we took a family drive out to Sheep River Falls - it's a such a gorgeous drive and the falls were beautiful. The family actually swam in the water and it was so cold it hurt, but they had fun! It's a beautiful spot in South Kananaskis to check out!

It's been two and a half years since I went vegetarian and I've been enjoying sharing my veggie meals. I hope that you guys have been enjoying seeing all the recipes and veggie meal ideas! I'm not preachy about going vegetarian, but I do think everyone should reduce their meat consumption, so even if one day a week you want to do meatless Monday, hoping you will find some good suggestions! Also, I'm also going to include some of my eating out meals instead of just cooked for a little more inspiration if you are looking to eat vegetarian while out! 

(Also, this month there are a few pescatarian meals in here as I eat fish and seafood once in a while!)

I also have codes for $90 off a GoodFood box so leave me your email if you are interested! (A ton of these meals were from them this month, not sponsored, just busy and loving these!)

I'm not much of a planner for my reading, but each month I try and stick to a little bit of a reading "theme". Now that we are in to August, what's the perfect read for Summer? Romance of course! 

Here's a few Summer books I'm planning on reading soon:
  • Experienced by Kate Young ~ A fresh, sexy romantic comedy about a newly-out lesbian finding herself, finding her people and finding her partner—in that order.
  • Tangled Up In You by Christina Lauren ~ A witty and deeply romantic modern reimagining of Disney’s Tangled, by the New York Times bestselling author duo Christina Lauren, part of the acclaimed and bestselling Meant to Be collection.
  • Bride by Ali Hazelwood ~ A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis.
  • A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston ~ A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction…literally, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics.
I love Summer romance reads!

The end of July/early August is YYC Icecream Fest - a whole bunch of places in Calgary make fun icecream desserts and the money donates to Meals on Wheels. Elliott and I had so much fun testing out a couple of flavors - our favourite was icecream in a donut cone! Yum!

I love to keep track of my Most Anticipated Books coming out each month - August has a few good books coming out and I can't wait to read them all! 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!
