Summer wedding season is upon us, and with it, a flurry of events surrounding the nuptials themselves. There’s the engagement party, the shower, the reception dinner…while love is undoubtedly in the air, there’s a lot to plan, even if you’re not the one betrothed. While it’s true everyone could use a good blender, we think the most memorable gifts are both beautiful and functional. These are our favorite gifts to give and receive, with quality sure to last until death do them part.

Around this time of year is when peaches, cherries, apricots and nectarines are in their very prime, and this summer, we’re chasing every opportunity to enjoy these versatile, delicious stone fruits. Pamela Salzman shared her recipe for a Summer Stone Fruit Tart, a sweet treat with a healthful twist in the form of alternative-milk cream cheese, almond flour, and coconut oil in place of butter.
