Weekend Links

It's supposed to be cold this weekend with a chance of a few rare snow flurries so we'll be huddled near the fireplace catching up on Scandal and maybe a few movies.  Hubs wants to see Life of Pi and I'm thinking Anna Karenina.  Thoughts?  

To get your weekend started,

some tunes, maybe.....

I'm taking part in this challenge in March.  You can follow me here.

Loved getting a peek inside this beautiful home that we see every day on our walks while visiting Kiawah Island.

This article featuring Birmingham's own Dr. James Andrews is a must read for any parent of a young athlete.  Valuable advice to keep your child safe.

Nutritional labeling on wine and beer bottles?  Whatcha think?

This is awesome.

These stackables are so pretty.

I learned a lot reading this.

If you like to travel and you plan your own trips, these are websites you should know about.

I don't have an NYC trip planned (why not?) but if you do and if you're into "cool", you'll want to read this.

Thirteen ways with Pimento Cheese?  Hell yes!!

And after the pimento cheese, you'll need this.

Friday Five

1.  We are just one week away from the greatest four months of the year.....college FOOTBALL season.  Go. Bucks!!

2.    Seriously??

3.  These two recipes......

I made this yesterday and served it directly from the skillet like suggested!  Such fun.  Oh and it quite possibly is The Best Berry Cobbler You'll Ever Have.  (click for the recipe)

I also made these tacos this week with shrimp and snapper, but even if you prefer chicken or beef, the dry rub and the crema are to die for.  Get the recipe here.

4.  Great suggestions for some iPad cooking apps you may not have.  I'm loving Basil.


5.

My mother and I saw this book in the Gorsuch store in Vail and literally stood for 20 minutes flipping through the pages.  There are over 400 stunning images of dogs all of whom  have been adopted from a shelter situation.  A portion of the proceeds go to shelters, rescues and other various pet causes.  I immediately ordered it and if you're a dog lover and on my Christmas list, this is probably what you're getting!
