Happy Friday!

This week was craaazy! My head is still spinning from my Meredith Vieira Show appearance. Here’s a clip if you missed it. I’m last (at about the 4:06 mark).

I attempted to replicate my hairdo from the show today, and I need a little practice. If only I had access to my own personal hairstylist every day!

There was some other excitement this week, but nothing as interesting as the show. Let’s just say I’m ready for a relaxing weekend!

Before the weekend arrives though I have a bonus post for you! Look for it a little later today. It’s a delicious Mexican recipe and perfect for the weekend. Get your margaritas ready!

Here are my favorite links from the week:

My husband sent me this silly picture of him watching me on TV!

Goji Berries are something I should probably eat more of, and Hello Natural came to the rescue with a roundup of 17 Superfood Recipes with Goji Berries.

This slideshow of 70’s Knitting Patterns from Collectors Weekly is highly amusing.

Orange Crush soda is a guilty pleasure that I don’t indulge in very often. Are you a fan, too? Then don’t miss The Pioneer Woman’s Orange Crush Cake.

A view of the Hoboken waterfront at sunset … so pretty!

While we are talking guilty pleasures, I must mention Rice-a-Roni! My husband brought home a box a while ago, and it was de-lish! This Homemade Rice Pilaf from Val So Cal looks similar, but much (much) healthier.

Kick your Rice Krispie treats up a notch and make these Loaded Peanut Butter Crispy Treats from Tater Tots & Jello.
