Friday Favorites | Long Weekend Ahead


Happy Friday friends! Coming to you live (well sort of) from the couch this morning and I’m oh so happy!! We have a few things lined up for the weekend, but what I’m most excited for is getting things done today that I would normally do tomorrow!! Linking up with Amandato share some favorites from the week! 




Favorite New Soup


I have been roasted red pepper soup from Au Bon Pain at least twice a month since it came out and I know they will take it away as soon as the cold temps leave, so I had to find a recipe that came close to it. The gouda (which is my favorite cheese) gives it a sharpness while the roasted red peppers are just sweet enough.  If you’re a fan of tomato basil soup – I think you’ll like this. 





Favorite Spring/Summer Dress


I have two wrap dresses (one seriously needs to be retired), BUT I find them to be so figure flattering and easy to wear. When I saw this one from BCBG at Nordstrom I needed it!! With a camisole it’s totally work appropriate and for any afternoon weddings, baby showers or any event this would be the perfect dress! 



Favorite Home Tour




Does any one else get sucked into Home Tour’s on The Everygirl? I’ve had my eye on a campaign dresser for a while now and I love how this one is styled! 



Favorite New Show


Leave it to Shonda Rhimes to make another show I can’t wait for on Thursday nights! Last year they came out with a trailer for this and they had a totally different cast, but I’m kind of happy with the people they chose to have instead!

    Oh my gosh! I'm so obsessed with the Au Bon Pain roasted red pepper soup too! I've been getting it every other week since it came out! (I had to limit myself haha) I could seriously eat it everyday though. Definitely have to try this recipe, so much more cost effective for my addiction! haha Have a great weekend!

    I always love your Friday favorites list! Thats so funny that a different cast was used for the trailer last year! Did you end up watching it? I wasn't able to stay up that late so I'm going to have to check it out On Demand at some point this weekend. I love the quote about not having to be in an office – its a good reminder to me as I am currently home taking care of my girl and focusing on my blog work.

    I'm excited for "The Catch" too! I recorded it last night, now I need to watch it. Did you watch Parenthood? The lead in The Catch was on Parenthood and played such a great guy, so it might be hard for me to see him as the bad guy! Lol

    Have a great weekend!
