Friday Faves

Hello hello, and happy Friday Faves.

Finally! I’m feeling the itch to entertain again. Because I wasn’t sure I ever would.

I’ve been so comfortably cocooned in my web of making zero plans, nor searching for excuses to get out of them, that I was unsure whether this feeling of wanting to welcome others into our casa de Larsen would ever return. But here we are. Halloween! Football game days! Soup nights! And of course, the two biggest food holidays of the year.

Yep. I’m feeling the feels to get me back in the hostessing saddle again, even if it’s for just a casual night with friends and fam and my mom’s famous spaghetti recipe (pic above.)

If you’re feeling like getting your party on too, check out this list of new rules of the dinner party, “where dinner parties are supposed to be parties, not pressure.”

With that, let’s set a date! And then move along to this week’s list of Friday Faves. Enjoy!

If you have a few minutes, this list of 50 unsolicited recommendations is a VERY fun read. And def some advice to heed.

This Parisian rooftop farm is absolutely incredible, and exactly how we need to be thinking now. In this urban farm, 2000 pounds of produce is produced a day, with no soil, and uses 90% less water than traditional farms. Think of how many rooftops in the world go totally unused but could be mini farms instead!

How cute is this little girl? I think us ladies have all been there.

Did you catch last week’s SNL? This skit had me rolling…on the bed. A little too close to home maybe? :)

Ted Lasso reimagined as a horror movie. Bloody brilliant.

I’ve still been traveling down the rabbit hole of celebrity impersonations and this girl is amazing.

Obsessed with this Halloween table centerpiece. Elegant but spookariffic.

This is my fave cinnamon rolls recipe, but these def have the Halloween vibe.

Hayley says these rice krispie treats are the best recipe out there. Long live brown butter.

This might be the perfect waffle recipe.

Hash brown quiche! How cool is that?

I have been craving this salad so bad lately. Def on the menu for the weekend.

This Chinese chicken recipe looks dangerously good.

If you’re like me and obsessed with Blue Zones recipes, making this recipe on the reg will help keep you healthier, longer.

WANT! If you love the smells of the holidays like me, this set of 3 holiday candles from my all-time fave brand will spoil you rotten.

I usually keep my dishes in the white realm, but I’m totally coveting this pottery. All of the glazes are so beautiful but I think I dig Harvest Moon and Amaro the most.
