Friday Favorites

Happy 4th of July weekend! I hope you have a weekend full of fun and family! I’ll be spending my weekend enjoying 2 of America’s favorite past times – going to a baseball game (go Padres!) and a beach bonfire! and then I’m back to share more delicious food with you! On next week’s menu: Toffee Pecan Caramel Ice Cream Crumble Cake, Easy Buttery Breadsticks, and Crunchy Cashew Coconut Chicken with Honey Mango Sauce. Its going to be a tasty week!

Now for some of favorites from around the web that just make me feel good!:

Favorite DIY: I am loving this outdoor succulent table – and the fact that I couldn’t kill the greenery! This would make an awesome indoor table too….hmmm I am thinking I might just need this for my dining room table!

Favorite Summer Refreshment: This Tropical Fruit Smoothie is waiting to transport us to paradise. I’m ready.

Favorite Indoor Oasis: I am in love with this bathroom! I think I could spend all day here.

Favorite Summer Idea: Campfire cinnamon rolls. I might just have to try these this weekend!

Favorite Decorating Idea: How easy is it to submerge flowers in water to create a dynamic centerpiece? Love!

Favorite Creative Solution: Love these barn doors as closet doors! Never thought I’d say closet doors were beautiful!

Favorite Friday Flashback: Skinny Cheesy Bacon Ranch Chicken Pasta! I posted this my second week of blogging and it is still a family favorite! Simple, easy, cheesy and delicious – and did I mention it has bacon!!!

Favorite “Ahhhhhh!”: This French bulldog puppy has captured my hear. Before we got Kiwi (our French bulldog), I didn’t want another dog because we had to find a new home for our last dog who traumatically attacked two other dogs within weeks of each other. So for months, Patrick would change my screensaver to a different French Bulldog picture. Heart melted.
