Friday Favorites

So it’s only been, oh, 3 months since I have posted on here… Not sure any of you are still reading, but I have missed this. Missed the readers, the bloggers, and telling the random stories about food that just not everyone gets 🙂

So, when better to start back than with a Friday Favorites. Any big plans for the weekend? Just triathlon training for me here. The hubbs works this weekend, and I picked up an extra short shift tomorrow morning. Just chilling for the rest of it trying to stay cool! My triathlon training has been going okay, but I really need to embrace the early morning workout. I am naturally NOT a morning person, but every time I end up having to run or bike in the afternoon heat, I end up really hating myself. Any tips for embracing that 4:30AM alarm?

Well, enough about this. On to the favorites list!

Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Shells by Cooking. Classy. I’ve made these a couple of times already, and they’ve been a big hit. I am thinking these would freeze well in preparation for a quick meal, although I haven’t yet had a chance to try it.

This dress on Sheinside. Love it.

White Strawberry Lemon Sangria by Kitchen Treaty. I always forget about sangria. Not sure why because it is always so good. This looks like a great summery version!

Raised Bed Gardening on Planet Natural. Great tips!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Macarons by Picky Palate. We had some great macarons from Bouchon Bakery a couple weeks ago in Vegas. I still haven’t tried to make macarons myself, but I am thinking it is time to try.

S’mores Whoppie Pies by Tracey’s Culinary Adventures. So classically summer. I love s’mores!

Rugs, Revealed on Retro Ranch Reno. I love both her sense of style and her tips.

6 Secrets to the Perfect Pie Crust by Design Mom. I guess this is the round-up of things I need to try. I’ve attempted pie crusts a couple of times, but never really had stellar results. Sounds like I could take some of this advice.
