Friday Favorites - December 16, 2022

The countdown to Christmas is only! Can you believe it is only 9 days away? It's exciting, but stressful at the same time.

This evening we're joining another couple for dinner at a new bistro that opened in town. Their menu looks absolutely fabulous, so I am looking forward to a great meal with even better company.

Here's some of my favorites from the week.

Out and About

Saturday, we went with our good friends to a town about an hour away that had a Mingle on Main event. Street vendors with wine at each little stop. It was only $20 for a glass and there were 16 vendors pouring tastings and selling all sorts of goodies from baked goods to Tupperware. A good time was had by all and we went to a steakhouse afterwards for dinner.

Meals

One night this week I did not have a dinner plan. I did not have anything thawed we could grill. I told Matt I was craving pancakes. He's doing Keto currently, so he just went with traditional chorizo, bacon and eggs, but I had a full breakfast. Not the healthiest, but it was comfort food and fun to do something a little out of the ordinary for us.

Holiday Cheer

Since Matt is doing the Keto diet, I decided to bake a little sweet treat. I shared the recipe over at my other blog. These Keto Spritz Cookies are sooooo good. You cannot even tell they're not full of carbs. Matt had a friend over picking up some things, so I sent him home with a bag. He loved them as well.

Found this on the Web this Week

I love this simple holiday decor with the deep browns, natural greenery and rust colors. This is a Beautiful Christmas Home Snapshot.

This Santa Bread using frozen dough is adorable and I think I might attempt to make it for Christmas day.

I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

This week I'm linking up with Erika & Andrea for Friday Favorites!

Friday Favorites - July 25

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I have some shopping plans and we're hosting some of my husband's college friends for the weekend. We have some yummy drinks and foods planned for the weekend. #1 Birthdays & Spa Days We celebrated my friend's 40th birthday! We had a party for her to celebrate on Sunday then Monday we went to the Lake Austin Spa. Voted by Conde Nast as the #1 spa destination in the US. It didn't disappoint! We had massages and facials and spent time lounging by the pool. #2 Desserts Some of y'all know I have a more professional blog. I added a new recipe over there for The Best Vanilla Whoopie Pies with Buttercream Filling ! So yummy! We've been eating on these throughout the week, but they are HUGE so we generally split one. #3 A New Minimalist Purse I've been having such should pain and finally gave in that it was in fact my heavy, very large purse I'd been carrying. I ordered this cross body with...

Friday Favorites - July 11

Happy Friday Friends! I'm so looking forward to the weekend; I don't have a lot on the schedule, but I have some plans on my to do list. Looking forward to some walks outside in the sunshine, tackling a few projects and relaxing. #1 Baking My friend Stephanie and I baked kolaches. She's a pro at it and helped me; we split these up for the July 4th weekend. Red (raspberry), White (cream cheese) and Blue (poppy seed). They were all so good and disappeared quickly this week. These were so easy! Just Rhodes dinner roll dough and Solo pastry filling. We did make the topping and cream cheese filling from scratch . #2 Health Getting back on the health and wellness track. I had a skin check at the dermatologist which I haven't done in 10+ years. I went to a new clinic and it was a little bit of a drive (about 90 miles), but I really liked the staff. All good news! Yay! I also did my Caroline Girvan Iron program workouts twice this week, cold plunged twice and used the s...

Friday Favorites - August 8

Happy Friday Friends! I've done absolutely terrible at life photos lately, but I'd thought I'd share a few things I'm loving in my life right now. #1 Baccarat Rogue Room Spray I bought this room spray for my office and it's a pretty dead ringer for this high end luxury perfume. It makes my glum office feel a little more luxe. Two sprays is all it takes and it smells good for hours. They also have a candle. I got it awhile back and they've since had to remove the word Baccarat, but this is the same product just new packaging. #2 Spotify Playlist Also office related, but this is also a favorite in home playlist of mine. The Spanish Guitar Instrumentals is just great background music. No words, but relaxing guitar. Makes me feel like I'm a fancy resort on the shores of the Caribbean. I also put my air pods in at the office and play this. It drowns out some of the noise from the fab shop. #3 Caroline Girvan's App (CGX) I've done two rounds of Carol...
