{Friday Five Foodie Finds # 16} Here’s to Feeling Better!

February 17, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!

Well Friday is already half-over, but I’m sharing these lovely foodie finds with you just the same!

I wasn’t feeling too hot this morning.  I realized it was really bad when I could barely hobble over to my alarm clock(s) (that are positioned across the room to force me to get up.)

I decided to send my teacher an e-mail and stay on the couch until I felt better.  Still having tummy issues but with my trusty laptop I decided to finish up my Friday Five Foodie Finds post.

For whatever reason, I had only found 2 recipes for the week before today.  Possibly due to the fact that I have been branching out in my blog reading mostly non-recipe blogs?

In any case I was able to find 3 other delightfully enticing finds while lounging on the couch watching Gilmore Girls this morning.  Enjoy!

Easy Oreo Pudding Cupcakes by Janelle at Comfy in the Kitchen

These were the first recipe to catch my eye this past week.  Simply decadent and oreo-licious!

Sriracha Scallops by Jenn at Peas and Crayons

My good friend Jenn is always cooking up a storm!  I’m not even sure if I like scallops..but I will have to try them looking at all of her tasty photos!

Puffy Vanilla Bean Snickerdoodles by Heather at Heather’s Dish

The BF’s favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle and these ones caught my eye because of the “puffy” in the title.  Have you ever had a “puffy” cookie.  Almost like a cake-cookie.  Yum.

I found this blogger from an article that was tweeted: Fitness Magazine’s Fit Bloggers We Love

Oats (and hoes) Pancakes by Lee at Fit Foodie Finds

I feel like these might make my dinner tonight.  I am almost sure of it actually.  Also does anyone get the reference in the title?

(Guest post at Krissy’s Creations) Salted Turtle Cookies by Cassie from Bake Your Day

Oh goodness these sound amazing.  And you all know about my cookie obsession right?  My favorite dessert ever.  If I could only bake one thing the rest of my life it would be cookies.  Probably some sort of oatmeal ones.  Thanks to this guest post I now have another mouth-watering blog to follow.

If you were featured, feel free to add my handy-dandy button to your page!

{Also, if you are handy with blog buttons…how can I make mine prettier?}

Here’s to hoping I am feeling better this afternoon because I really want to get outside for a quick run.  I think part of my sicky issues are anxiety and stress-related (seriously, your body does weird things when under stress) so I think it will be just the thing I need.  Get out in the fresh air, clear my mind, and get some endorphins flowing!

Here’s to a marvelous weekend friends!
