Friday Faves and a Berry-licious Recipe Round-Up

May 30, 2014

This week simply flew by. Maybe it’s because I was actually home for a stretch without my head in the clouds. Or could be that it was an “official” 4 day week. Or maybe it was because I’m not a 10 year old who can’t wait for the end of school to appear but I live with one.

Friday-Faves-05-28-14

Leftover pizza. What do you do with it? You can eat it cold. You can pick all of the good stuff off and leave the hardened cheese and wish you’d remembered to take it out of the cardboard container and put it in the fridge.

Last night my husband and my Smudge had a daddy daughter date and went to one of our favorite SLC pizzarias, Flatbread Neopolitan Pizza.  My man likes it for the beer and Quattro Stagioni (four seasons) pizza, I dig it for the Chicken Arugula and Basil Salad and Smudge loves the build your own pizza for kids.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

He decided to go off the rails and order the Quattro Formaggi with Fior di Latta, Fontina, Romano and Parmesan. I love that man.

Put-an-egg-on-it-foodiecrush.com

With two pieces of leftover pizza on the table, Smudge declared, “Dad. You should take those home and put an egg on it for breakfast tomorrow.” I love that girl.

I know! Why didn’t I think of this? It’s a total Friday Fave.

Riverhorse-on-Main-Park-City

While they were out causing a ruckus and snarfing down pies, I was at a press dinner for the lovely restaurant Riverhorse on Main in Park City, UT.  As a first timer at the establishment, I was immediately impressed with it’s look, it is seriously one of the best designed, if not THE best designed restaurants in Park City. And the food was fresh, innovative and delish. My favorites were the North American Buffalo with a Huckleberry Compote according to co-owner and Chef Seth Adams, the only thing that will never go off the menu, the Utah Red Trout in a Pistachio Nut Crust with Pomegranate Fennel Salsa. And of course the dessert plate, with the best pink sugar rimmed chocolate milkshake.

Smudge-and-Chewy

Can you get over this selfie my Smudge took of herself this weekend with our 12 year old Chewie. She is just too, too much and oh, how I love her. Even more than the day she was born. For sure.

This weekend will be all about prepping for BIRTHDAY WEEK for my Smudge. I just can’t get over that it’s been 10 years. I only have 8 years left with her under my spell. And maybe 2 more where she’ll actually listen to me.

We’re deciding on whether to break with her traditional Birthday Pie Cake. It may or may not happen. But a whip cream fight is definitely on the sleep over docket. So, any birthday cake ideas, send them my way.

Speaking of lounging (we were right?) I bought this for Smudge’s birthday present next week. She’s been longing for one ever since we came home from Turks & Caicos.

Geez, I hope she doesn’t read her mom’s blog!

A few new follows you should be following too:

This Pin board says everything I want to about summer.

and…

This blog, because sometimes there is more to my diet than cheese, butter and wine.

I backed this Kickstarter campaign by my food blogging friend Farmgirl Gourmet. You should too!

Last night I ordered this book after seeing it on Instagram. I’m interested in reading about his take on the future of food.

These swimming pools are INCREDIBLE! I’d feel like I was swimming at Sea World.

and…

Those pools are perfectly poised to sport these must-have pool floaties. I need the pretzel shaped one! And the doughnut!

bucket-list-foodiecrush.com

Have you made your summer bucket list yet? Smudge and one of her gal pals started theirs. Get great ideas for yours here  and here .

This is THE BEST sunscreen  and their SPF lip balm is my summertime fave.

This Mr. & Mrs. gift set is pretty dang cute for tee-totallers.

and…

The rad grad could make use of these 11 life lessons from Sandra Bullock’s epic graduation address. Hell, I’m taking notes now!

Push-pop confetti!!! Get it here.

Add a twinkle with firefly string lights. They’d be so much fun on the deck!

I love this love list of hot hues and neons. That J Crew top is super cute.

Filthy Rich Miso Caramel Ice Cream. Oh yeah. Recipe here.

Summer is a breeding ground for getting in touch with your creative roots. 3 simple ways to be creative (and why it’s important.)

My mom gave me this book a few years ago, to keep Smudge off the iPod, out of the TV and into having good old fashioned kid fun! So many great ideas, we get super fun ideas all of the time.

And if I can’t find anything in that, I know there’s bound to be something fun to do on this Pin board.

Inflatable Twister! I want!

    Great faves! Craving berries now. How is it you always make me crave something? You’re good, Heidi.

    And congrats with your little girl! If you think about making a different cake, I would suggest a pavlova. Easy, festive, pretty and light (this just means you can eat more, as I’m sure you’d understand!). Or bake a huge amount of brownies and use them all together in a big pile with candles. Very festive and very chocolately, which is something every girl wants.

      How great were Sandra’s words? Because that’s how we are, buddies who call each other by their first name. Sandy. Heido. Yep, that’s us. I’m so glad you like the list. I wonder every week if it’s hitting home. Or not. So thank you!

    Heidi, outstanding Friday LIST! I love just about everything on it, but am really digging the gift you got Smudge. I agree with her, everyone needs one of those. Our neighbors have a loftier place than us, and they have one in their living room. I am completely jealous ….
