Series: Friday Faves

Friday Faves is a light-hearted series of my weekly favorite photos, recipe, and moments that do not make it to my Instagram or a full blog posts, but are definitely share-worthy.  Like this amazing Greek pizza recipe that came out to be an amazing last-minute dinner this week when I had some spontaneous company.

1. Greek pizza for some mid-week flavor. Recipe from Art is the Handmaid of Good.
2. Baked butternut squash; my favorite fall side dish.  I sprinkled with a little cinnamon and is heaven.
3. Jingles really does have the life.  I am envious of her several cat naps, especially since Gavin has been restless this entire week, leaving one tired Mama!
4. These handmade earrings by local CT designer, Halcyon Artistry.

What were some of your faves this week?

Ever After,

Easy Apple Pie Bites

Nothing replaces homemade apple pit but when time is not on your side (which it has not been on mine lately), it's important to have some shortcuts on your hand just in case you need to make something for a gathering in just a few minutes.  I always keep Pillsbury Crescents on hand because you can make basically anything with them.  I have done pizza rolls, nutella rolls, mini sandwiches and so much more.  Since I had so many apples from my apple picking adventure, I made these tasty apple pie bites.  So easy & perfect for a quick fall dessert.  What is your favorite go-to easy dessert?

 Ingredients:

• 1 large apple, peeled & chopped into small pieces
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/3 cup brown sugar or coconut palm sugar (I used coconut palm sugar)
• 1 can 8 oz Pillsbury Crescents

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 375°  & grease cookie sheet with oil.  In a small bowl, mix apple slices, cinnamon, melted butter and sugar to make "Apple pie filling."  Separate crescents and roll in "apple pie filling." Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Sprinkle with cinnamon & enjoy.  Serve warm.

Ever After,

Jamie

Scalloped Skirt

Since I was on maternity leave all summer, most of my summer outfits consisted of nursing tanks, casual shorts, and flip flops. Since I returned to work mid-September, I made sure to break out all of my favorite summer ensembles so that would get some use this year.  This week is in the 70's so it is my last chance to break out my warmer-weather pieces before the chilly weather comes.  As most of you know, I am a huge fan of Topshop, as a Topshop Ambassador, so I fell in love with this scalloped-hem mini skirt  and paired it with a simple crop top and my go-to metallic heels.
