let’s kick off the weekend with a salty dog and one pan roasted chicken & veggies! doesn’t oscar look the part of a salty dog in the first photo? he is such a hoot when it comes to our fridays with oscar photo shoot. many of you have asked if our cocktail and recipe segment will continue on the blog. to which i reply, “YES.” there’s still family and friends to feed. and it’s lovely to kick off the weekend with a cocktail. am i right?!
when my kiddos were all in town i dished up this delicious one-pan sheet chicken and veggies for a quick and healthy meal. let me tell you it was a hit! last spring i made a similar version called greek chicken one-pan that mr. style loved. the recipe can be found here.

today’s cocktail is a classic. who remembers a salty dog? it seems as if they were served everywhere in the eighties. it’s an easy cocktail to throw together at a moment’s notice as it’s fresh grapefruit juice and vodka. easy peasy! and it’s refreshing with the inclusion of grapefruit.
this adorable watercolor tunic is from I.N.C. available at Macy’s. the longer length with side slits is a perfect match for slim fit pants. today, i decided to wear white denim and grabbed my gingham slingbacks to reinforce the pops of yellow found in the blouse.
many of you might remember this adorable lemon locket and matching bracelet from Tory Burch. both items have since sold out but i loved this charm necklace and adjustable slider bracelet available at Nordstrom.
if you’re afraid to wear color, why not ease into your comfort zone with a cheerful pair of shoes? these gingham slingbacks from J. Crew have seen lots of wear and tear this summer. and they’re on sale!
these reversible chinoiserie placemats and napkins are from the Patricia Heaton collection from Walmart! the color scheme is summer perfection!

Good to see you and Oscar! I so enjoy your weekly blogs, thank you for strength and grace you are an inspiration to all! You touch many lives. Thanks again!
That tunic is really nice; I can imagine it in so many different outfits! Have a great weekend, Beth.
Beth there are no word to express my sympathy for you and your family. I’ve been following you for over a year and a half as I saw you were preparing for 60 as I was also ( this year). You are always so put together and pleasant. I loved how much fun you and mr style had on the blog. Gods comfort for you and your family as you teach us how to live on without the love of your life. Take care.
I just learned something new (as I often do on this blog!) what a Salty Dog drink is. That and the delicious chicken and vegetable dinner sounds like a delightful way to start the weekend. As always it is so wonderful to see you and Oscar (I am sure Ollie is around somewhere napping!)
Hi Beth, so lovely to see both yourself and Oscar. What a gorgeous blouse you have on, loving the colours. Thank you for showing me a different way with the table napkins too. Hubby Graham is going to try the Salty Dog cocktail, it’s not for me as I’m not a Vodka gal.
The videos are a great addition at the end too. xoxo
Darling outfit and looks like a delicious recipe — thanks!
Such a cute top! And I love your sheet pan recipes – have made your Greek one for friends and family both in the US and in France and it’s always a hit!
Beth, you always look gorgeous! Greetings to your youngest son, too! Family is definitely everything. Thanks for the recipes. I haven’t had a salty dog in years, and I’m heading to the grocery store for your One Pan Roasted Chicken and Veggies ingredients (and a grapefruit). I’m thinking I may also get salmon fillet for an alternate one pan meal. My new favorite savory spice is turmeric. Have a marvelous weekend!
You always set such a lovely table. I am loving the candle holders!!! Do you remember where they are from??
thanks, debbie! i completely forgot to link the candelabra. the post has been updated but here you go:

Look at Oscar, looking out for his mom. He’s such a good boy. I am sure he will be good company for you, Beth.
You look amazing in this outfit! Love the tunic. You have such style and always an inspiration. Not just with clothes and other items but in your outlook on life – the good times – and the bad. Thank you for you and sharing with us!
Misspelled my own name! LOL
Hi this is my first time commenting on here, I have been following your blog for only 6 months but have noticed in that time just how important family are to you , so when I read that Mr Style passed away I cried, I really felt that sad, you two seemed to have such a good relationship! Well I am really pleased to see you back with us and I would like to send the warmest wishes to you as you adjust to a new way of life, may you be blessed with good things you are very inspirational , I love the work you do and I love the cocktails with Oscar, thank you so much from Australia.
Thank you Beth, I love your posts and especially the Friday’s with Oscar. I will try this recipe this weekend. So sorry for your loss and sending you loving energy from Sedona, Arizona.
Beautiful outfit and smile! I really have to try your recipe, it looks so delicious and easy to prepare. Oscar is a hoot and absolutely adorable. You can tell he loves his Mum! I continue to hold you and your family in my prayers!!
Love the colorful print tunic on you and happy to see Oscar back!!
The chicken/veggies looks and sounds easy/delicious. I remember you made this or something similar that I think I pinned. I’ll have to try it. I’ve been buying the chicken thighs for a number of good recipes lately–so simple. Thanks for the recipe. Have a good weekend–hope you get a chance to relax some with Oscar and Ollie.
Love the tunic, Beth and the gingham shoes. I love grapefruit juice and vodka, forgot it was called salty dog. I will try the chicken recipe. Love one pan meals, especially in the summer. Can’t believe back to school next week. Most of all I seeing your smile and Oscar. I so miss my sweet pooch Damian and our daily routine. Seeing Oscar makes me happy. Please let me know if you come to Parkland again. I continue to pray for you and your family 🙏.
Love seeing, it should say.
I’ve been away for a bit and just went back and read your previous posts. I am so very sorry to read of Mr. Style’s passing. I pray the Lord will give you and those who loved him strength and peace and comfort in the days, months and years ahead – until you meet again one day in Heaven – our true home. Sending you a big hug.
What a perfect post! Adorable outfit, a smiling Oscar, a delicious, healthy meal and one of my fave drinks, a salty dog.!
You are always so gracious, Beth. Oscar and Ollie are always welcomed additions.
Beth, I just love those one pan dinners! I have made a similar one with chicken breasts instead of the thighs and broccoli instead of green beans. Now I am going to try your exact recipe- it looks delish! Just love you and am sending hugs to you and Oscar too! I have followed you for a few years and you grow more beautiful and Oscar grows more handsome! 💕
Beth, I have seen you post about the Faster Way to Weight loss before. I am interested in finding out more. I will check the link but my question is about the fasting. I can’t find much about that. Can you give some insight on how that. Thank a. I ‘ve been thinking about this for awhile. I have to do something.
Beth, you look absolutely beautiful! Gorgeous tunic and the shoes look wonderful with your outfit. Always so enjoy your posts and salute you. Admirable lady.
Love the one pan dinner recipe, I have made the Greek chicken dozens of times with a variety of different ingredients. Always a hit! When are you posting the second Nordstrom haul? Have a great weekend keeping you in my thoughts.
Beth, I admire your grace and style during this difficult time. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers! ❤️❤️
I second that emotion. ❤️❤️
Hi Beth
Thank you for this wonderful post. I love Trader Joe’s. Wish we had one where I live! Your one pan chicken and veggies looks yummy! The colorful tunic outfit is lovely, and Oscar is in fine form. Peace, comfort, love, and blessings to you and your family. I am loving the videos.
You look lovely, Beth, and so does Oscar. I know your furry friends will be a big comfort to you.
Love that chicken recipe – gonna try it for sure!
My dear Beth & Family, please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. Rilee sends a special paw-over-the-heart to his doggie buddy Oscar.
Hugs,
Susan & Rilee The Wonder Dog in Wisconsin
I always look forward to your Friday’s With Oscar posts – your furry friend, the cocktail and the yummy dish you ‘serve’ up. I’ve used many and am anxious to try today’s offering. Hugs to you and your family.
How brave you are to keep pressing on. You are thought of all over the world with love and appreciation. Bless you from Australia.
Love, love, love the video Beth!! Oscar has been taught well🐾. Also love the top you are wearing. Have a great weekend yourself…..your continually in my thoughts and prayers.
I love a good Salty Dog! And your dinner looks great. Have a relaxing weekend.
Hi Beth and Osscar! I love this post! All the colors are delightful! Can’t wait to try a “Salty Dog”!
Perfect Friday! Love your outfit! Love Oscar he is adorable! I made your sheet pan chicken that Mr. Style loved, it had feta cheese on top, it was delish. Will definetly try this one, it looks delicious and healthy!
Beth, you are a model of resilience. I didn’t know Mr. Style and I don’t know you but he is no doubt, no question, so very proud of you. Thank you for giving and working and being. Your Salty Dog takes me back to my 20s and that was a while ago. A group of good friends (all women) on a house boat trip and we made Salty Dogs. We couldn’t remember what they were supposed to be called so we called them Coyotes. Thanks for that memory!
Hey, your blog post is amazing, I love your content and website. Keep up the good work. Looking forward for more such amazing work from your side.
Love your outfit. You look smashing!
Beth, Thanks for the OOTD inspiration, the healthy chicken & veggies recipe & of course, The Salty Dog! I’ll be raising a glass to you, sweet lady! I also am loving the new videos!!
This tunic is on sale right now in petite!
