Happy Friday, y’all!
Thank you for the well wishes yesterday! Ben and I went out for a nice, romantic dinner, and sipped on what has become my new favorite drink – a Georgia Jack Ass. It’s a Moscow Mule (vodka, ginger beer, and lime) made with peach vodka. BEST DRINK EVER!
I already have plans to make a Des Moines Donkey. Just deciding on what flavor of vodka to use. Perhaps a sweet corn vodka infusion session is in order?! ;)
At any rate, I’m off to finish getting the house ready for Ben’s family, who arrives tonight, and to start PACKING! I can practically feel the warm, Jamaican sand between my toes! Have an awesome weekend everyone, and please enjoy my favorite finds from the web and beyond in this week’s Friday Favorites! :D
Favorite over the top: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Devil’s Food Cheesecake. Ummm, are you kidding me… Whee!
Favorite furballs. Best buddies! Look at the eyeballs of the pup on the bottom – BAHAHA!
Favorite mini: Mini Fish Tacos. Love, love, love, these fresh and flavorful bites. These would be such a hit at a beach-themed party or something!
Favorite before & after. This garage turned amazing loft living space makes me want to do some serious home renos.
Favorite dress: Kelly Green Ruffle Dress. I was just telling a friend how into kelly green I am right now. I have a dress in this same cut too, and it’s my fave!
Favorite drool: Grilled Chese Sandwich. If the owner of this sammich could come make it for me ASAP that’d be great, mmkay? Thanks.
Favorite jeans: MiH Marrakesh Jeans. A friend of mine was wearing these jeans at the shower last weekend, and they are STUNNING! At least half the girls there asked her where she got them. The fabric looks like a fine corduroy/denim/linen mix, and apparently you can find them for much cheaper by digging around the web a bit!
Favorite sweet: The Best Chocolate Cake Ever with Pudding Frosting. I can practically taste this sweet, moist, and delicious cake through my SCREEN!
Favorite DIY: Map Page Letters. CHEAP and so cute.
Favorite idea: Cinnamon Rolls cooked in Oranges. I suppose it’d be easier to convince me to go camping if I was promised cinnamon rolls cooked in hollowed out orange halves over the campfire in the morning. :)
Favorite weeknight yum: Prosciutto, Asparagus and Parmesan Pasta. Fridge and pantry staples made into an ultra-satisfying and easy supper.
Favorite photo. Bright barn + long exposure = wonderful. :)
Favorite combo: Sugar Cookie Squares with White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Frosting. Pink! Sweet! Fluffy! All the things!
Favorite funny. I can’t even handle the cuteness… ;)
Favorite wow: Chopped Avocado Salad. Looks super impressive, but directions sound really easy. The best kind of dish!
Favorite top: Twist & Flounce Tank. Adore the corkscrew twist, color, AND long length!
Favorite bite: Amaretto Soaked White Chocolate Cherries. I could see myself eating about 4,000 of these.
Favorite bar: Warm Toasted Marshmallow S’mores Bars. My little brother emailed these to me with the words “this” or “giddyup” or something to that effect. Couldn’t have said it better myself, bro! ;)
Have an awesome weekend everyone!
That avocado salad is a work of art. Going to have to try that one. What’s not to like about shrimp and avocados?
Love your friday favorites posts. They are always the perfect mix of food, fashion & fun! That kelly green dress is super cute!

I LOVE your posts, but why am I not following you on Pinterest? How can do that?!?
Whoa. Such an impressive catalog of faves. Must try the orange rolls over a fire!
That barn is in Middletown, PA about 10 minutes from my house. It’s called The Star Barn and there has been huge controversy surrounding it… due to it’s location they want to tear it down and they are trying to raise money to save it by relocating it!
that cheesecake + the grilled cheese are making my mouth water. Oh how I love cheese. Have a great time on your trip!
Love that tank top. I really need to go shopping. I’m pretty sure I haven’t bought clothes (besides workout gear) in at least 6 months. My closet is looking tragic…
Love this post! So many great ideas. I have added the pasta to my dinner list for next week!
i LOVE these posts. and especially this one. um, the lettuce in the taco idea: GENIUS. and i think i’m gonna make those smore bars this weekend. THANKS!!
Your Friday Faves kick butt this week! :) Not that they aren’t always fabulous! I also have been loving the 50 min/ 5.45 mile tredmill workout! It keeps me from getting bored!
You could make your Des Moines Donkey with Bakon Vodka… Just a thought :-)
Hahaha, that’s what I thought, but it got a big veto from Ben. Damn!
Those are some FANTASTIC favorites!! Have a wonderful weekend Kristin and have a relaxing vacation!
I’m pretty much dying over that Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Devil’s Food Cheesecake. I need some now!
