Friday Favorites!

Friday...Friiiiiiiday!!! My favorite word these days. Firstly, I am not complaining. But work has seemed crazy long without school to break it up a little bit. And M and I are taking advantage of the extra time we have...and working more. Bleh. But that being said, M and I can focus on doing fun stuff on the weekends (instead of homework). Lots of hikes, festivals, and smoothies coming this weekend, I can feel it. And maybe some swimming. Sounds good to me! These summer weekends... Definitely a favorite. :) 

For some reason this week, I have been obsessed with kitchens on Pinterest. 

But seriously, how amazing are these? 

(1, 2, 3)

Ever contemplated what the end of your life may be like? Hopefully not this: 

And I am in love with this lady's soulful sounds: 

School must really be on the brain, because I am already looking for a new planner (help me!):

But when it is this cute, it doesn't feel like school stuff. Perfect. 

A recipe I am going to try this weekend --

And how cute is this necklace?? I die... 

And speaking of cute, I so want to wear this: 

Happy Friday!

How 'Bout Them Apples?

I stumbled across this recipe the other day--which is really not a recipe at all. More like, throw this in this and bake for this long. Which is, I mean, marvelous really. 

I like to call this my Fake Apple Pie. 

All you have to do is cut up 2-3 apples (I like the Gala or Fuji apples). I like them chopped pretty thinly, they cook better that way. Also mix together some brown sugar and cinnamon--the amount is totally up to how much of a sugar fanatic you are. As you can tell from the pictures below, I'm high level addict status. :)

Then just put your apples into a pie crust (I just picked mine up at the store, but I have a great homemade crust recipe [Thanks, Mom!] that I am sure would be amazing as well).

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. That's it. So easy, right? 

And you probably have all that shit just laying around anyway. BAKE.IT.UP.

I have made this twice now for Sunday dinner dessert and 

I feel like a freaking genius when I make it. Haha. 

Ps. If your brown sugar isn't melting in some places (because it looks like you applied it with construction equipment, like mine), just put a tiny dab of butter on the spot and pop it back in the oven. Unhealthy? Yes. Delicious? YES.
