Happy Friday, everyone!
Whoo – what a week! The time change and SNOW – yes, I’m just now able to talk about the 3+ inches we got on Wednesday – really threw me for a loop, but it’s the freakin’ weekend baby and every little thing’s gonna be alright.
Ok that paragraph made me sound crazy. At any rate, I hope you enjoy my favorite finds from around the web this week. Stay warm wherever you are!
Favorite seasonal project: Rustic Snowflake. I want to make this larger and into a wreath for my front door.
Favorite ‘gottahaveitnow: Cookie Dough Bites. As in, I might be making these as soon as I push publish on this post!
Favorite kitchen helper: Dripless Strainer. Also doubles as a spoon rest!
Favorite updated classic: Homemade Chili Mac. The husband would go bananas for this. :)
Favorite space. Doesn’t this kind of remind you of the Twilight kitchen? (PS: ONE WEEK!!!)
Favorite diet buster: Reese’s Peanut Butter Bars. My thighs are so unhappy I found these!
Favorite diet helper. Monica suggested using these for portioning out cereal, which I could mindlessly eat a TON of, at the Dole Summit last week.
Favorite weeknight bite: Asian Turkey Burgers with Peanut Sauce. You know I’m a sucker for peanut sauces!
Favorite necklace: Fortune Cookie Necklace. Dainty, and would be really cute as unique bridal jewelry.
Favorite earrings: Initial studs. Aren’t these great?! You can get them in any letter!
Favorite poppable bite: Jalapeno Bacon Poppers. Perfect for football games.
Favorite furball. Look at his ninja eyes!!
Ok, second favorite furball. I know how ya feel, cat!
Favorite outfit. Ob.sessed.
Favorite holiday sip: The Spicy Gingerman. Pretty much stick a festive cinnamon stick in any cocktail at this time of the year, and I’ll drink it.
Favorite DIY project: No-Sew Roman Shades. I am dying to make these for my kitchen.
Favorite DIY accent piece: Frosted glass. This would look sooo cute with a line of short tea light holders.
Favorite money saving tip: How to refill your swiffer wet jet. Definitely going to have to try this out.
Favorite naughty-yet-nice treat: Zucchini Bread Whoopie Pies. RIGHT?!
Favorite am nom: Breakfast Pizza. Thinking this would be yummy and fun for Thanksgiving morning.
Favorite better for you bite: Baked Cinnamon Bun Donuts with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze. Droooool!

Have a great weekend everyone!

They have so many names. They gained popularity in the armed forces as a fitness test and they call them, “up downs” (as per my husband). I know them as “mountain climbers”. I had to look it up on Wikipedia.
Lisa 11.11.2011
Mountain climbers are a totally different move…
