Ok, I went a wee bit overboard with today’s Friday Favorites. There were so many indulgent, hilarious and beautiful things to show you, that I just had to show them all. Here are my favorite finds from around the web this week!
Favorite find (perhaps of all time): Brownie Cookie Dough Sandwiches. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I might enter into a sugar-induced, coma-like state after one bite, but it’d be totally worth it. ;)
Favorite affordable art. These prints are unique, colorful, and very affordable!
Favorite finger flair: Catbird Alphabet Rings. It’d be cute to stack a heart between the letters of you and your signif other’s. ;)
Favorite fall dinner: Chicken & Sausage Gumbo. I can’t imagine a more hearty, cozy meal to enjoy on a cold, fall evening.
Favorite vacation memento: City Map Art. Choose your city and color for a unique and stylish way to document your travels.
Favorite coat. (I know – obsessed!) I am desperate to find out the designer/brand of Pippa’s navy coat with gold zippers. Loves!
Favorite manicure: Essie’s “Marshmallow”. Romantic and feminine.
Favorite look. Snuggly, yet put together looking. I could live in this outfit!
Favorite how-to: Homemade Corndogs. My favorite state-fair indulgence, any time I want?? Sign me up!
Favorite infographic. So, so, so true. ;)
Favorite DIY idea: Paneled walls. I would LOVE to do this on the wall behind my fireplace. It would add so much to the room!
Favorite sip: Pink Stiletto Martini. Mouthwatering, and for a good cause!
Favorite dream home idea: Dutch doors. This would be so fun to have in the kitchen. With a screen door, of course.
Favorite dip: White Pizza Dip. Decadent and drool-worthy.
Favorite photo. Don’t try and make sense of it. Just succumb to the laughter. ;)
Favorite healthified dish: Quinoa Mac & Cheese. I was just lamenting over the fact that I hadn’t used my beloved quinoa in awhile. This looks so delish!
Favorite kitchen. Perfect in every way. Ok, maybe I’d change the color of the granite, but that’s it!
Favorite photo. I imagine this is how I would start everyday if I lived in Paris.
Favorite kitchen tip. Place cooked chicken breasts in your kitchen-aid and let ‘er rip for perfectly shredded chicken in no time.
Favorite places. I couldn’t pick just one!
Church of St. Magdalena in Val di Funes, Italy
Multnomah Falls, Oregon
Favorite funny. Cracking. UP!!!!
Ok I have to throw another one in too… Gaahhh. Are you done yet??
Favorite green project: Cork Trivet. Great look and who couldn’t use an extra trivet or 10 around the kitchen? If you were able to snip the corks in half width wise, they would also make great coasters.
Favorite indulgences. The sweet tooth bug bit HARD this week. The following clearly represents where my appetite lies at the moment!
Gingerbread Pumpkin Bites. YES.
Mini Cinnamon Rolls. These are made with frozen bread dough which make them mercifully easy to make.
Oreo Pudding Poke Cake. A cakey twist on my Mom’s dirt cake. MMMM!
Cinnamon Roll Pumpkin Vanilla Sheet Cake. Practically all my favorite desserts, all rolled into one recipe. Fabu!
Fluffernutter Bites. Ben’s Mom would go crazy for these. Salted nut rolls are her favorite!
Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Pie. ‘NUFF. SAID. :D
There you have it friends! I hope you have a wonderful weekend (the last in October – can you believe it?!) TGIF!

Amazing – I totally missed these. Thanks for letting me know!!

I’ve been to both Multnomah Falls and Iceberg Lake (in Glacier National Park). Both are spectacular. Every view in Glacier is even more beautiful than the last. We’re working toward seeing all 50 states, and it is my favorite spot so far! Highly recommended if you like hiking.
Jen 10.28.2011
O.M.G.!!! All those recipies are to die for. My mouth is literally watering. I’m super intrigued by the quinoa mac n’ cheese – a whole new spin on what I usually end up throwing in with quiona.
C. 10.28.2011
Hahaha I love all of these, but especially your animal ones! I’m totally that employee in the dog photo and my cat does exactly that to me when I’m on my laptop. Except she generally tries sitting on top of me while doing it.
Ari 10.28.2011
I had the whole office ROFL when I sent them the pic of the dogs :)Oooh those purty rings! I’ve already sent the website of those beautiful rings to the hunny. :) <3 them!! And Pippa's coat is a must for this year!
Love Friday favorites Posts!!!
Eleni 10.28.2011
The guy in the photobooth/sheep picture is Buster from Arrested Development. If you don’t already watch that show, you totally should! It’s the best!!!
Ally @ Sweet & Savory 10.28.2011
Oh no, no, no! Shredding chicken breasts up with a Kitchen Aid? Have you tried it? Does it really work? As I made homemade chicken salad this week and was cussing the whole time I was shredding!
Iowa Girl Eats 10.28.2011
I haven’t tried it yet, but I too HATE shredding chicken!
Tee @ She Writes, Bites, and Window Shops 10.28.2011
Hahah, I just laughed out loud at the photo booth with the sheep. Do you find your “Friday Favorites” on Pinterest? I just saw the prosciutto wrapped avocado on Pinterest so I was just curious :) I find myself getting lost on that site for way too long – so much inspiration!
Iowa Girl Eats 10.28.2011
A lot of them I do! I know I have a severe love/hate relationship with the site. LOVE the ideas/HATE that it’s such a time suck!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss 10.28.2011
I love it all!! That kitchen is GORGEOUS. Talk about a dream home. :)
Katie @ staying satisfied 10.28.2011
I have been reading your blog for years, and must say, Friday Favorites are my absolute fave- well that, and your apple crisp, of course. Thank you for the fashion tips and recipes- they make my Friday!!
Shelley 10.28.2011
So many excellent things on this list! When I went with my boyfriend and his mom to Fleming’s, we each got two Pink Stilettos. The prosciutto, goat cheese, and avocado combo pretty much made me drool all over my desk. Thanks for that! Oh, and I’ve already picked out my favorite cities from that Etsy shop! (Sorry for all the exclamation points.)
Iowa Girl Eats 10.28.2011
Exclamation marks are my favorite!!!!! I use them way too much too! ;)
Emily 10.28.2011

Wendy in central iowa 10.28.2011
