Worthy Reads: August 2025

Everything I have enjoyed this month!

I am obsessed with these and have been for months. It's allowed me to be so lazy! Every time I go to Costco I worry that they are going to stop carrying them, so imagine my surprise and delight when they started carrying even more of them! I made these veggies a few times a week this summer when it was just me at home and followed this recipe where I cracked 2 eggs on the pan and sprinkled with gruyere cheese for the last 5 minutes of cooking. One thing to note, when cooking the veggies, they seem really watery initially but the water cooks off by the time they are ready. 

It's been excruciatingly hot and humid in Baltimore the past few weeks so I was on the hunt for a cute casual dress that wouldn't cling to me in the heat. I found this one and love it! It's super comfortable and even though you step into it (there are built in shorts) it isn't clingy or tight. I plan to get it in another color or two to have on hand!  

To know me is to know I am always looking to reach peak levels of comfort and ideally, would love to look cute while doing that. These pants were following me around the internet for a few weeks until I finally caved and bought them. I love them and get compliments every time I wear them (which may be too often). They are really lightweight and would make a perfect travel pant. For reference, they are cut huge so size down.

This one is really fun! If you enjoy reading about uber wealthy New York City moms like I do, this is a good one to add to your queue. " Spanning the course of one eventful school year in New York, Mean Moms is part satire of upper-crust mom-ing and part mystery, interrogating the line between friendship and jealousy, and getting at the question:

What would happen if the woman standing next to you at school pickup was actually a sociopath?" Also - wondering how Nell Diamond feels about the character of Belle and her "The Dress" launch.
