Friday Favorites

Happy Friday everyone! 

I found out that I'm heading back to San Francisco for work in March. You can read about my work trip earlier this year here and then touring San Fran here. This time I'm hoping to find some time to head over to Napa Valley as I'm already out there. I'm currently trying to recruit a friend to join me so I don't have to tour wine country by myself. 

I happened to visit the bridge on a rarely clear day and got this amazing photo (our tour guide said there are only a few days in the year the bridge isn't foggy). After touring around, San Francisco quickly won my heart and I can't wait to go back to explore some places I didn't get to see.

Yesterday, myself and several coworkers volunteered at Feeding Children Everywhere, which is an organization that assembles healthy meals for hungry children throughout the world. We packaged and boxed our goal of 10,000 meals to be distributed worldwide. 

This week's healthy dinner meal plan was successful after a few weeks of hiccups: 

Monday: Skinny chicken fajitas
Tuesday: Pork chops and brussel sprouts
Wednesday: Baked salmon and broccoli
Thursday: Tossed salad with chicken

Joining the lovely Amanda for Friday Favorites.

Favorite Recipe:
The Ultimate Bloody Mary via Honestly Yumm ... or as I like to call it, a Vodka Salad!

Favorite Purchase:
This Speechless Lace Bodycon Dress for one of my upcoming holiday parties. 


Favorite Funnies: 
Possibly? He rocks the kid pretty good.

I'm convinced I'm allergic to tickles.

Definitely reminds me of my granny from childhood days. Ice cream with chocolate chips was her signature treat!

True story, especially when it's cold and no one is seeing your legs anyways!

Have a great weekend loves!

  6. I absolutely love San Francisco! It is one of my favorite places in the world. So excited for you that you get to go back! I have done something similar to feeding children everywhere called feed my starving children. Also, I love that Speechless lace dress! So great for a holiday party. Have a great weekend!

  7. That bridge shot is gorgeous! I love that you are feeding hungry children, I have a ministry that I donate to regularly for food but I haven't gone to actually prep and hand out food.

    The bloody mary is a meal in itself - I haven't seen one with crab in it! I want that dress for holiday parties, it is beautiful.

  9. Yay for San Fran again!! And wine country is a must do this time around! Even if you can't recruit anyone to go with you, join one of those tours that leaves daily from San Fran and go yourself and check out some wineries and go on tastings. There are limos and party buses that leave daily ;-)
