Definitely some yummy recipes here that I’ll need to try. I loved Fashion Plates! If I still had mine, I would still use them. lol

Seriously, it’s like you read my mind! Love the fall outfit, I just bought some cognac Frye Melissa Button boots and I cannot wait to wear them! The popcorn looks amazing, as well as the donuts! Those are both going on my fall foods list! Already bought the ingredients to make hubby the Jalepeno popper dip! We made it a few months ago and loved it! Perfect for snacking with a cold Sam Adam’s Octoberfest and watching some football!
And that pic of RPats, well, speaks for itself! Yummy man candy at its best!! Have a great weekend!!

Fashion Plates! I got so excited when I saw your post. Totally forgot about them. My sisters and I would fight over who was making the best outfits. I wonder if my mom still has those…
Denise 09.02.2011
Fashion Plates!!! I forgot about those. I hope my mom still has them packed away in the attic somewhere. I was obsessed with those!
P.S. Love your blog. We just moved to Iowa from PA this year. In addition to the great recipes, I get lots of ideas about “Iowa” things to do. :)

I just moved to Texas from Des Moines and I love keeping up with your Iowa life from way down here. My husband and I are Hawkeye alum so we are definitely missing Iowa right now. We called around to see if any local sports bars had the Big Ten Network and more than once got asked “Is that to watch the Longhorn game?” Um, no. Anyway, love your Friday Favorites and you brought back fond memories of doing fashion plates for hours…thanks :)

I’d suggest asking if they have DirecTV since its part of that package. Lots of bars have it for football.

Pumpkin lattes make me happy. Better than anything else in the world. Prefer Caribou, skim no whip

That popcorn looks TO DIE FOR!!!! Now I’m craving candy corn!
