Friday Finds

 

Happy Friday! It’s time for another round of lovely links. Here are some of the beautiful and delicious things I’ve found this week…

 

This fabulous art print (shown above), which I would love to have in my family room.

I would totally devour these amazing-looking chipotle braised chicken nachos!

I really enjoy the blend of elegance and unique decorative touches in the lovely home of artist Dana Gibson.

I love honeycomb candy, so I might have to try this recipe for homemade honeycomb.

These chickpea pancakes with rainbow chard and lamb by Donna Hay look delicious.

I don’t normally like olives, but these crumbed and fried goat cheese-stuffed olives could make me change my mind. They look so good!

Talk about comfort food! This loaded baked potato casserole is making my mouth water.

I definitely want to bake a batch of these orange muffins sometime. They would be perfect for morning tea.

You can always count of Food52 for awesome recipes. These brown sugar saucepan blondies look like something I’d like to make again and again.

I feel like a kid again just looking at this wonderful banana split cake.

 

That’s all for this week. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

 

Friday Finds

Hello! Happy Friday!

Hope you’ve all been having a lovely week! My week has been a little stressful, since my son hasn’t been well, but he’s fine now, which is such a relief. We’re going to go to a playground, today, to enjoy the beautiful spring weather we’re having here. It’s time to unwind and get ready to enjoy the weekend!

Oh, hey, I’m sorry I haven’t been been posting much lately. I have a few recipes ready to go. I just need to make time to edit the photos and share them with you. So, stay tuned for some delicious stuff coming up! In the meantime, I hope you’ll enjoy the links below.

 

Here are some of my favourite finds from this week…

This rhubarb pie is absolutely gorgeous!

I just love the bright, beautiful, family-friendly home of illustrator Brittany Viklund in Oklahoma City.

Just look at these exquisite mini poached pear cardamom cakes. They would be perfect for a special autumn dessert.

I’m definitely going to try this baking hack for using a can inside a round cake pan in place of a tube pan, the next time I want to make angel food cake.

These cinnamon sugar-coated baked pumpkin donuts look delicious!

Comfort foods don’t get much better than this hearty chicken tartiflette.

I would love to try making this stunning tiramisu cake! My partner loves tiramisu, so I’m always looking for recipes he might enjoy.

These DIY photo booth props are so cute! They would be a lot of fun for guests at any party.

I really want to make this Hawaiian shrimp scampi (aka shrimp truck garlic shrimp) soon. It looks so simple yet so tasty!

My new favourite home renovating show is Restored by the Fords. I absolutely love interior designer Leanne Ford’s stylish renovations of historic homes. She really knows how to breathe new life into an historic home, while respecting its original spirit. Of course, her own home in L.A. is super stylish and fabulous, as well. (I wonder what her take on my not-yet-stylish 1989 house would be… ?)

Cannoli is one of my very favourite desserts. I always get it, along with a cappuccino, at a local cafe. This recipe for homemade cannoli is on my must-try list now.

 

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Friday Finds

Happy Friday!

Like many of you, I like to spend a little time throughout the week looking for new recipes, home design inspiration, and anything else which catches my eye. I am quite a collector, as you will see if you check out my Pinterest page. Since I find so many wonderful things every week, I thought it would be nice to share a handful of them with you for a new series of “Friday Finds”. I enjoy catching up on a few other bloggers’ Friday posts, like that. I want to join the party.

I hope you will enjoy some of the links I will be sharing with you. Here we go…

 

I just want to dig right into these baked chai donuts.

This chocolate hazelnut baklava looks to-die-for. I want to devour it right now.

Moussaka is one of my all-time favourite dishes. It’s like a Greek lasagna. This moussaka recipe looks delicious.

Although it is spring here in Australia, part of my heart will always be back home in America, so I still crave autumnal desserts at this time of year. This pumpkin and cream cheese cake looks so wonderful. I love the pretty criss-cross pattern on top.

Another autumnal recipe which I’m dying to try is this caramel apple sheet cake. I’m actually planning to go buy a sheet cake pan because of this recipe (and because I feel the need to have almost every kind of cake pan imaginable, which drives my partner crazy, haha).

If you ever have the pleasure of being in Sydney, Australia, you might want to try going on one of these gorgeous coastal walks. I know I plan to do that, the next time I’m there!

I’m smitten with this lovely white weatherboard house, built in the 1890s in Victoria.

This recipe for pan-seared scallops with chorizo and corn sounds so good.

As you may know, I’m a major s’mores fan. When I saw this graham cracker cake recipe, I swooned.

I don’t often tend to go for recipes which use a boxed cake mix, but these Texas sheet cake cookies look like they would just melt in your mouth. I might have to bake a batch of them soon.

One of my favourite cooking shows is Patti’s Mexican Table. I love her delicious recipes and her sweet personality. This veggie-filled Mexican lasagna is on my must-make list.

I have fallen in love with the beautiful landscape paintings by Michelle Morin.

I always enjoy the flavour of real maple syrup, so this maple cake with maple streusel looks dreamy to me.

Last but certainly not least, don’t miss this beautiful Hamptons-style home in Perth. It is a blue-and-white-filled vision of paradise. The master bedroom and lounge are just exquisite.

That’s it for this week! I hope you’ll come back next Friday for more lovely links. Have a great weekend, everybody!
