THE summer breakfast

* * * * *



"Since summer began, I’ve become a totally obsessed woman. I could eat this (+nachos) for literally every single meal of the day.

What to do (my mouth is watering just typing this!): Place one fresh+super ripe+really juicy summer peach or nectarine, sliced, in a bowl. Heap a large helping of Fage greek style yogurt on top. Sprinkle with brown sugar and steel cut oats. Enjoy!

Seriously so yummy; food like this is part of the reason I love summer so! Let me know how it goes for you! :)

You've been on my mind of late and

I needed images that remind me of you.

This makes me feel good

but I still miss you.

I probably always will.

On the bikini’s birthday — the modern version

of the two-piece was introduced to the world on

July 5, 1946, in Paris —

LIFE celebrates a summer staple that has enjoyed

a dizzying array of permutations through the years.
