Friday Five Foodie Finds #5 {Always with the Sweet Tooth}

October 21, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Happy Friday everyone! 
I hope you’ve had a great week and have some relaxing and/or hanging out time with family and friends!

I am actually writing this on Thursday due to the fact that I am workin at the crack of dawn till the crack of…later in the day.  Workin my coffee catering job in the morning and possibly grabbing a quick lunch then to my wings-n-beer-joint job.  It will be a full day but full of moolah…which I can’t say I mind being a poor college student and all. 😉

I will be sharing this post on Finding Joy in My Kitchen‘s regular Friday link (if she gets it up before I leave for work haha).  Check out her blog!  She is doing a series on {31 Days of Cooking From Scratch} that I seriously want to bookmark every single page so far!  She has a gift of being organized, thrifty and smart in the kitchen. 

I can’t believe this is the fifth week I’ve joined in the blogging community’s Friday Finds…but here we are!  I always seem to find a bunch of desserts then remind myself that I should probably put a real meal in there…somewhere…plus the fact that I am only sharing 5 finds a week.  Enjoy my finds!  🙂

1.Kath Eats Baked Oatmeal Snack Bars

 I love these because basically…you combine all the stuff you want in a granola bar and make it yourself!

2.  An American Cupcake in London’s Sugar Cookie Bars

This one caught my eye when I was looking for treats for my upcoming Halloween party.  Speaking of which…anyone know any Halloween party games…that are for people over the age of twelve..? 

3.  Savvy Eat’s Pumpkin Mini Bread with Candied Walnuts

Um perfect!  I happen to have some candied walnuts already (she shows how to make them) from the farmer’s market.  Can’t believe the farmer’s market is over already!! 🙁

4.  I Talk to Food’s Dark Chocolate Peanutbutter Cups with Sea Salt

Well I have been a little wary of the new trend of salt or pepper with desserts…but I just may have to try these yummy treats!

5.  Italian Tortellini Soup

Have you read my friend Tina’s blog?  You must read it!  I call her my friend, however I have never met her.  We haven’t even had much interaction…but if I knew her in person I just know we’d be best friends.  Such a sweet positive Christian gal with a love for good food and a healthy lifestyle.

Happy Friday! 🙂
