Hey guys, this week I’m trying something new and focusing exclusively on a my favorite things from the week. Do you miss having one of my recipe links to start things off? Let me know in the comments below.
This week’s Friday Faves list started early, so how about we start things off with what I was crushing on this week via my Instagram.
Insta-Craving: In need of produce that was photo shoot ready, I headed to our first local Winter Farmer’s Market. I went a little nuts, inspired by the most gorgeous watermelon radishes, beauty queen looking beets and carrots in every hue of the rainbow, which inspired an amazing recipe coming your way.
Insta-Crushing: Did you know that October is Adopt a Dog Month? I’ve been involved with animal rescue for nearly 15 years, volunteering, fostering and adopting three furry babies. Say “hi” to Chewy and Gigi, 12 years young. Adopt and give a dog a home and you’ve just given them a second chance at life.
Insta-Fun: The new version of Clue. I was obsessed with this game as a kid and it’s still a blast to play with my Smudge, but my, how things have changed. The conservatory has become a spa, Professor Plum is now a self-made video game dot.com billionaire and the lead pipe has morphed into a trophy. I guess everything from the 80’s is in need of a nip and tuck here and there.
Insta-Savoring: The last days of scuffling through fall leaves. Oh this glorious weather! But I’m bracing myself as snow is in the forecast for the weekend, making way for fluffy, white Instagrams.
The FoodieCrush elves are working hard on the Holiday issue of FoodieCrush magazine, which will be coming your way when the mistletoe official poises itself in a secret liason-like location. In December.

Of course I love the blogs and online mags, but I am still a huge fan of print so I’m looking for some rec’s for new cookbooks to add to my collection. Will you leave me a comment below on which one is yours?
Speaking of, have you entered my giveaway of White On Rice Couple’s cookbook, Bountiful, Recipes Inspired by Our Garden? They’ll be here in Salt Lake City at The King’s English Bookstore, this Saturday at 2 pm. Come see all of us and get a copy signed for yourself.
Now, let’s dig into some Friday Faves.
1. These gold, spray painted mini pumpkins make it! How to create an elegant DIY Thanksgiving tablescape.
2. This makes me feel like Annie Leibowitz! There’s an Instagram account that collects the worst photos of food ever instagrammed. I mean, is that really Broccoli Cheese Casserole?
3. Know anyone getting married? These are such clever Save the Dates.
4. A Son’s of Anarchy spin-off? Please, say it’s so!
5. I spent a lot of time on this foodie’s Pinterest board this week. Soooo well curated.

9. A great read for every woman: How I learned to accept my weight and stopped hating my body.
10. Flats. Leopard. Meow.

I am curious to find out what blog platform you’re utilizing?
I’m experiencing some minor security problems with
my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe.
Do you have any suggestions?

Hi there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I
came to give it a look. I’m definitely loving the information.
I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
Exceptional blog and great design and style.

I think your Friday faves can stand on their own. It’s always one of my favorite posts of the week.
I’ve been off Twitter lately so the inspiration was nice. Also, love that Ralph Lauren dress.
Good to see you at DV the other night. :)
Thanks for the input, we’ll give it a go! And great seeing you too!

This is a fabulous roundup of favorites! I am definitely in need of some Amazon Affiliate help – that article is great! I’m a little nervous about the new version of Clue, but after trying to play the original with my nieces and nephews and them not having a clue what anything was, they might have the right idea to update the game a bit. The movie is one of my all time favorites, though!! Thank you so much for featuring my recipe! I am honored to be among such amazing company!

Holy moly! That kitchen! It is like my dream kitchen. Wow, I want it!
Stefanie @ Sarcastic Cooking
I need that highlighter! Seriously. This morning I was looking at myself and thinking, either I am that tired or every single eye cream I own has stopped working!
Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles
No way! I refuse to let go of the old version of Clue. Defiant, I am. ;)

I tend to go more for traditional/country/cottage style kitchens but that one…that one I would never complain about!
Brian @ A Thought For Food
That kitchen. I shouldn’t have looked. Now I have dreams. Big, expensive dreams.
Gerry @ Foodness Gracious
I’m tapping at my screen like a cat hoping that chai muffin will fall out in front of me…so far no luck :(
