Friday Favorites
Happy Friday! As always, I’m linking up with Erika, Narci, and Andrea for our favorites! Apparently peanut butter has been a favorite lately based on this post. 😉
One.
These bars are so simple and tasty! They are perfect for this weekend, no matter what your plans are. Did I mention they’re easy to make? 😉 
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pitted dates (I cut mine in half to make it easier in the processor)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used Justin’s)
What to do:
Pour dates and peanut butter into the food processor. Pulse a few times and then on low or until it starts forming together into a sticky mixture. Line an 8 x 8 pan (or really any pan) with wax paper. I used a spatula to flatten the mixture into an even consistency in the pan. Smooth out the top and edges. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Cut to desired width. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator or counter.

Our school had their annual night at our local baseball stadium! It is so fun and was gorgeous! Minus a few raindrops. 🙂
Three.
Our weekend is basically free. That’s always a favorite to me. 🙂
Four.
You know how I had a lifelong friend getting married last weekend? Well, the wedding was so sweet and the weather was beyond GORGEOUS! The reception was at a family friends’ vineyard and I was loving every second of the view.
Five.
I’ve been obsessed with this 3-ingredient sugar-free peanut butter fudge lately. A huge thank you to my sister-in-law for introducing me to it and thanks to Sugar-Free Mom for the recipe. You can find the original, here!

Recently I stopped seeing my first love. Peppermint mocha creamer. I used to put it in my coffee every morning but couldn’t handle all the sugar any more. I have loved using a splash of almond milk and two drops of peppermint oil. It completely does the trick and I’m in heaven all over again. 🙂

The weather (and day) on Monday was the perfect end to a great summer. 🙂
Some things just taste better bite-sized. These were so fun to make and a ten out of ten for any party. Not to mention, I was filing this away for the day we have kids and the assembly line that could be created. In three simple steps, you have a yummy appetizer at your finger tips. The ingredients can be tailored to your liking of size and proportion. Another perk: With the overflow of tomatoes and basil, you can whip these up in a few minutes for a Labor Day party!

Over the last several years this has become one of my favorite verses. I was reminded of it this week and thought I’d share. 🙂
I can’t wait for these to arrive on my doorstep! 😉 Perfect timing for back to school!
