Hello Friday! And hello February! Welcome to the party of our so-called life.
In This Post
Man, I miss that show. Jordan Catalano. Swoon.
I’m adding to my 2015 (re)Solutions list. Fresh flowers every week. Or at least until they pass the fresh test. How are your 2015 goals so far? Abandoned? Relished? Merely, meh?
February has done arrived, and man, I’m feeling good. I’m striking things off my to-do list and it. feels. invigorating. Do you have a strategy to getting sh*t done? I’d love to hear in the comments below. Because, you know, I’m always, always looking.
One of the projects I completed this week is Easy Asian Takeout, a new eCookbook by Bee of Rasa Malaysia. While designing it, I spent most of my time trying to decide what I was going to make for dinner from it, because my lord! It all looked so good. For a limited time the eCookbook is on sale at a great discount. Hop over to check out more.
And now, onto this week’s Friday Faves!

Amazing roundup! Love your recipes so much, looking forward to get the book.
Liz @ Floating Kitchen
Great links, Heidi! And totally agree that fresh flowers every week should be a priority. I used to do this all the time for myself, but sort of got out of the habit. Thanks for reminding me. Think I’ll pick some up today!
Valeria | Life Love Food
Great roundup of crushes, Heidi! And thank you so much for including my Meyer lemon cake in your favourites – it is so so easy to make and such a lovely simple treat. x
Shanna @ Pineapple and Coconut

OK you’re a doll for sharing my bars! Thanks Heidi! I always love your friday faves and to be include in one makes me feel like a rock star ;)

Hi Heidi!
I am curious about the program you use for your ebooks…they all look so gorgeous!
I design them all in InDesign. It’s a great program for incorporating images and text in multi-page documents.

I just bought Bee’s book and it is beautiful and inspiring. Fantastic job, Heidi! For anyone who is on the fence about buying it, do it. There are already about 10 recipes I want to make and I’m only partway through the ebook.
Shef
wow! i do need to get the book! looks beautiful and delicious!
That’s awesome Dara! Aren’t the recipes great?!!
Bee | Rasa Malaysia
Hi Heidi, thanks for the plug, much appreciated. :)
Hi Dara – thanks for the support, I am glad you like it! :)
Shef
hey there! so did you collaborate with Rasa Malaysia or did you help design? Is this something you are interested in pursuing for other projects (in case I am thinking of going that route and am scared!)
HI Shef, she created the content for the book and the photography and I designed it and guided her on how to bring it all together.
Shef
Are you available for hire for such projects? Or do you recommend a particular avenue/resource/blog to help me? :)
Dedy@Dentist Chef

Becky Winkler
Great roundup! That vanilla balsamic chicken looks amazing.
I’d love to read The Yellow Table, but it’s over $100 on Amazon right now! Hopefully the price will go down when she reprints.

Those chicken thighs with orange sauce are really tickling my taste buds right now. Can’t wait to read the article about 10 things successful woman carry in their purse, although, I confess, I almost pass out when the airport man or other venue has to check my purse because entering an event. It’s kind of embarrassing what I keep in there and it feels a little like an invasion of privacy!!
