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
A good pal passed along the Iowa video earlier this week, and I LOVE IT! So hilarious. And true! :)
Ahhh, I love that Marc Jacobs bag! I have one similar that is from Fossil, but I had anxiety over the spending the money on THAT one, spending twice as much on the MJ bag would probably send me into shock or something. ;)
I love your Friday Favorites, at first I thought you didn’t post yesterday, but now I’m cleaning out my Reader and saw you did. Yay!
That Mac and cheese looks AWESOME! Have you tried Z’Mariks Buffalo chicken mac and cheese?
My mind is BLOWN about Iowa right now…
Friday favorites are so awesome :)
I just love your “food finds” Kristin!
Have never “lived” in Iowa, but living in Wisconsin for years, and traveling West has caused me to spend quite a bit of time there. Anyone that does will agree on the hospitality and general good will of the folks there. Travel the river on the Iowa side, spend time in Dubuque, Dinner at the Lark Supperclub, time in the Amana Colonies, and You will agree that Iowa is a very special place. The folks that live there are golden. Scr@w the naysayers on the news, they have nothing good to say about anything.
HAHAHHA. Photoshop is possssibly the greatest thing ever.
Have you seen the new Geico commercial with the pig on the zipline? I remember you liked the one where he was in the car (I did, too!)
YES! Just saw it the other day and was completely enthralled :)
Thanks for the shoutout! And PS. I love the shakeyface dog picture. That’s a Friday favorite, for sure. :)
Oh, what great Friday Favs! Many are hard on my 2012 goals though. Lol
hahaha I love the dog pictures!! Animals are so friggin adorable!
I like how you do your friday favorites about different things…I think I’ve only seen the favorites of the food variety. Speaking of food, I want that macaroni!!!
Ahh I love you friday favorites! I look forward to them each week! :D And those cupcakes look soooo good!!!
I love the all things Europe… It got me so excited about our honeymoon to europe
