Happy Friday my friends!
I’m guessing I’m not the only one who’s already checked out of the game and has their head into this long holiday weekend. Heck, I bet most of you may already be on your way out of town. Lucky for you, you can still check out all of today’s links on your mobile phone. Ah, technology…a love/hate relationship.
Speaking of reading FoodieCrush on your mobile phone, if you receive my latest posts via e-mail the day they go live, and you read them on your phone, you may have noticed the main image in your e-mail is looking a bit wonky. It’s not you, it’s me. I recently switched over to a new service that delivers those e-mails and it’s a glitch they’re working on. So hold tight! Things will be fixed soon.
In the meantime, if you aren’t on my e-mail list, I’d love it if you subscribed. I’m going to be upping my newsletter/e-mail delivery game with exclusive content including my monthly favorites, e-mail only recipes, giveaways, and posts you’ll only get by subscribing. It’s where we can connect a little more closely and get to know one another better.

This weekend I’m heading to the baseball field for a little Triple A action and then on to Park City, UT for a mini-staycation with my little family before I head to South Carolina to eat all the shrimp and grits in my path. If you’re interested in checking in on my little adventures, follow along on Snapchat and Instagram.
But if you’re ready to just sit back and kick your heels up with not much else to do, and need some new blog inspiration, check out this list of blogs in just about every category, all who are nominated for the Bloglovin awards. And of course, scroll down to the food category to vote for your favorite.
And with that, let’s get to this week’s list of Friday Faves!
Britney’s back, and she did Carpool Karaoke. If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, skip to minute 8:22. It’s worth it.
So sad that Gene Wilder has passed, but loving these “best of Willy Wonka” moments…

And since I had to go bring up cake…
Is it just me or is this pretty little plate just begging to be the designated birthday cake plate?
I went to lunch this week with my best friends from college. Even though we’d planned this lunch a month ago I almost didn’t make it because I felt like I had to much work to do and too many loose ends. And then my friend texted me, “Well, tie up the loose ends then!” And I did. And that’s why women need to make time for their girlfriends.
and as a sidenote…
Eating at the best Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City when you’re on a diet isn’t easy. But I did it. And here’s how you can too.
First there was the InstantPot, and now this all-in-one gadget that makes your entire breakfast (complete with that essential morning cup of joe in )! What the??? College students rejoice!

As a bath addict, I’m totally crushing on these pretty, plush-looking bath towels…
I’m still on the sneaker hunt, here’s 10 more sneakers for fall to confuse my quest even more.
Loving this blouse, and this jacket for that matter, which is perfect for fall!
But before we start talking about fall…
I think I need to snag a pair of these wedge sandals because not only are they super cute, they look incredibly comfy, AND they’re on sale!

So much good stuff to wean ourselves off summer this week on my Pin boards. These are just a few I think you should add to your three-day weekend too.
