Happy Friday!!!
I’m still in shock that it’s really 2012, although the reality is setting in now that all the Christmas decorations are down, and plans for spring break are underway. Onward, right?! :)
Hope your short week went fast and a weekend full of fun is on the horizon. In the meantime, here are my favorite finds from around the web this week, for your viewing pleasure!
Favorite sweet treat: Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes. A flattened cinnamon roll “crust” is filled with sauteed apples and topped with streusel. BAHAHA – OMG!
Favorite getaway. Even though the weather has been insanely mild lately, I’m in complete winter getaway mode. I can’t stop thinking about taking a relaxing beach vacation!
Favorite learn: Silhouette Tutorial. Love this easy photoshop tutorial for creating classic and out of the box silhouettes.
Favorite slurp: Chicken Bacon & Wild Rice Soup. Mmmm – this might make an appearance on Soup Sundays very soon.
Favorite outrageous idea: Buttercream Truffles. You need to see these. Mind melting!
Favorite party nosh: 7 Layer Dip Cups. There’s nothing nastier than the community 7 layer dip dish at a party or get together, right? This is such a cute solution.
Favorite funny. I think I laughed for 18 minutes the first time I saw this. Winner!!!
Favorite splurge: Classic Q Little Ukita Marc Jacobs Bag. I have never been a shoe or bag girl – I’d rather spend my money on Dairy Queen, for instance – but lately I have been obsessed with purses. This one is the perfect size!
Favorite bling: Quintessentially Blue Necklace. Love the retro feel of this piece.
Favorite time suck: All Thing Europe Tumblr site. You’ll see. ;)
Favorite Frankenstein recipe: Jalapeno Popper Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. Can someone make this for me? Please?
Favorite truth. Hey, even 10am would be great. ;)
Favorite home accent: Industrial Pipe Shelf. One of these will be in my future dream home.
Favorite crock pot recipe: Chicken Caesar Sandwiches. I cannot wait to try these!
Favorite outfit. I am obsessed with navy and coral right now.
Favorite furballs. No words.
Favorite sip: Skinny Mango Margaritas. Muy bueno! (thanks reader Michelle for passing along!)
Favorite kitchen helper: Dual Stand Up Spoon Rests. I need this! My spoons and whisks are forever rolling off my standard, flat spoon rest!
Favorite dessert: Peanut Butter Pie. My Mom made this again for Christmas this year and – pardon my French, but – OMFG.

Have super weekend everyone! Toodles! :D
Chantel from the bachelor had this necklace on from your Friday Favorites, when she came to San Fran to surprise the terrible haired bachelor :) https://iowagirleats.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/necklace.jpg
I know – isn’t that the most nuts thing ever?! I was like, wait a sec…no that couldn’t be…whaaaa?!?!?
Navy and coral? I’m obsessed too. To the point of making them my wedding colors. With a pop of turquoise/teal/aqua. What do you think?
the cinnamon roll idea looks delicious!
Its funny you mentioned navy and coral, I bought a navy sweater this weekend and a coral red top.. and was thinking what nice colors!
I cracked up with that video. Awesome. I love your friday favs!!
I love your Friday Favourites, they always give me loads of ideas :-)
That Apple Pie Cinnamon Roll Cupcake looks absolutely amazing!
And that quote made me giggle, that’s definitely how I feel, especially when I’ve worked all morning!
I hope you had a lovely weekend :-)
One of my elementary school teachers did a silhouette of each student in the beginning of the year and hung them on the wall- I thought it was so cool and probably still have it in some box in my momma’s basement… I should do them for my students [great memory]!
BTW, I’m gonna have to share the the 7 layer dip cups idea with my momma- she makes an awesome homemade version and this would be great for a party!
Get the bag!! I was lucky enough to find a verrrry gently used one at a local consignment shop and I am obsessed with it. Aside from the size, the other best thing is that you can wear it cross-body or on your shoulder.
I, too am obsessed with any summery warm getaway. I dream, several times a day about where i NEED to go over spring break. Glad i’m not alone!
1. I clicked on that elite vacations link – omg. We are looking at going to Mexico in early march to save some $$. I hope it happens!
2. I think I might have to make that pb oreo pie for a dinner party I’m going to tonight. YUM.
