Happy weekend! I’ve spent the better part of this week getting myself unpacked and re-organized after getting back home from our nearly four-week trip. I had a serious laundry situation! I hope you’ve had a great week and have enjoyed the first week of fall. I love the sunny, crisp days, but unfortunately since getting back home it’s been all rain and grey skies! I finally upgraded my phone yesterday to the new iPhone! Feel free to share any must-have apps in the comments below! I’ve been on Android for two years, so I may be missing some things as I transition back to an iPhone. What do you have planned for this weekend?!
As always, you’ll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week as well as some bookmarked recipes from other blogs. Enjoy!

Mmm. These Whoopie Pies – the cinnamon filling should be it’s own food group. Happy weekend to you! I’m sure it’s nice to be in your own bed again.

I love the “On the Road” app from Food Network. You can look up places to eat that have been features in whatever part of the country that you are in. Gives a rundown of the food served, price, etc.
