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
LOVE the favorite truth :)
Love the favorite outfit! Is there a way to see what stores the various pieces are from?
There is but I totally lost the link :( I’m looking for it though!
Ahhh Kristen! That video was fantastic!! I just moved away from Iowa after living there for 3 years (which I really enjoyed) and I have been rather upset about some of the things said about it in the news recently. Stereotypes and generalizations do not become anyone. The video made my day. Thanks, girl!
Lots of great new favorites and esp. recipes to try here. Soup weather will be here, despite the 55 degree temps today.
The soup looks wonderful, but full of fat. Would u work your magic on it for us and make it more figure friendly?
Sure I’ll try! :)
This post made me SO HUNGRY! And this winter thing is making me think about moving to Hawaii…maybe some day….
Omg, that necklace! And omg, that peanut butter pie!
We take off bright & early tomorrow morning for the beaches of Playa del Carmen. Who knew that when we booked a trip for early Januray there wouldn’t be a bit of snow on the ground. I hear ya though, despite this mild midwestern winter thus far, heading to the beach is sounding SO awesome regardless! Happy Friday!
Mu Friday favorite is your Green Monster…I have been playing with this everyday this week! LOVE it!
I tried today also and have to agree, its my Friday fav!
Love the All Things Europe site. I HAVE TO GO!
I made the crockpot chicken ceasar sandwiches last weekend (although, we had it on wraps instead) and both my husband and I LOVED it!
Oh yaay – good to know!
LOVE every dog photo you put up!! It has given me some inspiration to possibly try your “Favorite Funny” this with my own dog! My house is a photo-gallery of my dog, this may just make the collection complete! (My husband and I don’t have kids yet, so we take a lot of photos of our dog) haha! :)
Have to share for Friday fave – ready? TODAY is Epiphany! We are exchanging gifts today to honor the wise men! AM SO EXCITED – and let me tell you – what can be better than hitting after christmas sales up? ha ha ha! Christmas was reserved for church and awe – today – reserved for fun!
I love the necklace and will have to try Skinny Mango Margaritas next time I get together with my girlfriends!
