Welcome to my friday favorites where I share recipes, interesting articles, books, finds and more. 

Two pink books with a pink mug of tea, a fronted pink cupcake and a small Eiffel Tower.

 

Good morning friends, happy Friday. I hope that you had a good week. It is bitter cold and windy here, no snow but I still have hope. I read that this coming Monday every state will have below freezing temperatures  because of the Polar Vortex. I recommend getting. a few provisions just in case you don’t want to leave the house. It is also Super Bowl weekend, my husband is very excited because he is a Kansas City Chiefs fan and I am excited because of the commercials and the food. There will not be a Super Bowl party this year but that is not stopping me from planning my menu of junk food.

I hope you enjoy my finds this week.

Food

Fire Roasted Feta and Artichoke Dip

A big bowl of Spicy Sausage Rigatoni sounds perfect this weekend too.

If none of those appeal to you this Greek Hummus might or this black bean dip!

Finds

H & M always has great things for home at very reasonable prices, this week I love this pillow and this candle.

 

Tan and blue plaid wrap coat

You know me, I cannot resist anything plaid and this beautiful plaid wrap coatis on sale.

Just purchased this pair of pajamas from TJ Maxx and the book by one of my favorite blogger/designers. Did you know that because of the pandemic you can order online and have your stuff shipped to your house? If you don’t like it you can ship it back or return it to the store. So far I have had very good luck purchasing from TJ Maxx online.

That is it my friend, I hope you enjoyed my finds for the week. As always if you listened to an interesting podcast, read a great book(especially something lite or a good romance) please share, and if you made or will be making a good recipe share that as well.

Stay safe and warm this weekend friends, I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.

  1. Hi Elizabeth, I love your new format! Very attractive. One comment is that the lighter text color you have chosen for
    your titles and highlights is too light to read easily for older eyes reading on a iPhone. Darkening the color by 15% might help. Otherwise it is quite attractive!
    Well done. Congratulations.
