After a brief Thanksgiving-induced hiatus, Friday Favorites are officially back!
It’s been a busy week ’round these parts, what with kicking off and wrapping up the first week of the 20 Day Holiday Workout Challenge!
TGIF, right?!
Without further ado, here are my favorite finds from around the web this week!
Favorite new year’s idea: Easy closet clean out. Flip all your hangers around on new year’s day. After one year, or a season, donate any clothes that you haven’t worn, aka the hangers are still flipped!
Favorite Christmas cookie: Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. My parents used to have a Christmas party every year which my Mom would make dozens and dozens and dozens of cookies for. These were my favorite!
Favorite foodie gift idea: Stuffed baking mitt. Perfect for a newly married couple, or someone just out of college and starting to cook for themselves.
Favorite Giggle: The Truth About Book Clubs. I personally don’t belong to a book club, but every single one I know of pretty much follows this format. HIGHlarious!
Favorite winter must-have: Sorel Joan of Arctic Boots. Uggggh, luscious foot hugs.
Favorite Holiday pup. Poor, hilarious pooch!
Favorite DIY craft: Scented candle upcycles. Melt half burned candles and combine them in one candle. Genius – I have like a zill of these laying around!
Favorite casserole: Chicken Broccoli Supreme Casserole. Hearty winter casserole without cream of something soup.
Favorite photo: Chocolate Wasted Cake. I mean!!!
Favorite Christmas card. Rustic, cute and clever.
Favorite find: Copykat Godfather’s Dessert Pizza. Do you KNOW how many slices of this pizza I ate growing up?
Favorite personalized gift: Thumbprint Heart Pendant. Perfect for husband/wife, mom/dad/children, grandparents/grandchildren.
Favorite fitspirational quote. It’s so true!
Favorite MUST MAKE recipe: Hot Chocolate Bombs. Make these truffle-like balls, wrap and freeze. Drop in warm milk for instant, homemade hot chocolate!!
Favorite flashback: Santa Mugs. We had these exact mugs growing up, and I clearly remember having Swiss Miss hot chocolate with mini marshmallows in them after cold winter days spent sledding and building snow men. Awww!
Favorite eco-chic fashion statement: Hand Block Printed Bamboo Scarf. Each scarf is made of bamboo and stamped with stamps from India. Cool, and cute!
Favorite fancy nibble: Shrimp Pesto Pizza. Yes, yes and yes. To all those things.
Favorite coffee flavor: Wild Blueberry from Green Mountain Coffee. This tastes IDENTICAL to a blueberry muffin. Unreal! PS get 15% your order and free shipping until 12/15 with code AM0015-3592 at GreenMountainCoffee.com!
Favorite holiday sight: Rockefeller Christmas Tree. Seeing this bad boy is on my bucket list!
Favorite funny: Inappropriate Elf on the Shelf ideas. I actually think the EOTS concept is genius, but these ideas are absolutely hysterical.
Favorite true words. Been there, done that!
Favorite holiday indulgence: Eggnog syrup. I want to try this ONCE!!!!
Check out these previous Friday Favorites posts.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :D

What was the best part of your week this week?
I love the hanger idea. I try to mentally note when I haven’t worn something for at least a year but I think my hoarder-like tendencies get in the way…
I always enjoys looking though your fab friday, thanks for the awesome post, again :)
That chocolate cake. Wow.
I JUST bought the stuff to make the peanut butter cup cookies tonight with my girls! And the chocolate bombs… Great idea!
The Chocolate Wasted Cake….I have no words! Well maybe two…Holy Cow!
I’m in New York for work this week and my friend and I tried to go to the tree lighting b/c my hotel is just a few blocks away but the crowds were INSANE!!! I went on Thursday morning — much more enjoyable =)
Geez! i’m so freakin hungry….you are KILLING me with all these yummy food pictures!
A lot of bloggers do Friday Favorite Posts, but I have to say, yours is one of my favorites! I meannnn all of this…where do I begin?! (pretty sure I said the same thing last week too haha) That chocolate crazy cake definitely caught my eye, eggnog syrup?! Um yes please.
And shrimp is one of my favorites foods, so on pizza and with pesto, oh my.
I know I don’t comment too often, but I have been reading your blog so quite some time now, and it never disappoints :) I love it!
I just started doing this with my half-used candles! Here I thought I was brilliant and original. HA!
My school’s dining hall had pumpkin pancakes with eggnog syrup this week. They were delicious!!
I LOVE those christmas cards and definitely will be making some! I’m sending out cards for the first time ever this year :)
Oh and my roommate has a pair of those Sorels and loves them! They look adorable on her.
We had those same Santa mugs too! What a great memory.

My family had those Santa Mugs too! I think they were a Walgreen’s special… I love this post!
