Five on Friday Faves

TGIF!!  Thank the sweet Lord that it is finally Friday!  I am beyond excited for this laid-back, no plans weekend that we have set up for the next couple of days!  The extent of my "plans" include watching college football on the television tomorrow, whipping up my (first of the season) pot of chili and possibly baking up some yummy apple goodies.  Annnnnd Sunday = Repeat!  The perfect Fall weekend in my books!

But, to get this weekend started on the right foot, we better kick it off with another edition of "Five on Friday" with Darci and a few other awesome gals!

Here's what I am loving this week...

{One.}

Deliciousness in a glass right here, y'all.  This time of year all I want is everything pumpkin flavored...but if I can't have that, I am head over heels for a good apple cider.  Put that together with a little caramel vodka and what do you get??  A Caramel Apple Cocktail.  It's simply just one part caramel flavored vodka to two parts apple cider or simply apple, apple juice.  Yum....

{Two.}

What would go perfectly hand in hand with that little number up above??  Well, this super duper easy apple pie snicker doodle bar!  Seriously y'all.  I found this recipe here yesterday afternoon, so I made my grocery list (I only needed two ingredients for this) went and grabbed them, and whipped up a batch of these delicious goodies in under 10 minutes.  Let me tell ya...they are the bomb.com.  When I say easy, I mean EASY PEASY!!  Again I say: Yum...

{Three.}

Ok, so this might not pertain to us Midwesterners anymore after this week, but when I saw this last weekend I about died laughing!  I mean seriously...I know that so many of you out there can relate to this, so I just had to share this little gem!  I'm feelin' for all you southerners right about now...But never fear, Fall is here!!  (It just might not feel like it yet!)

{Four.}

Would you guys believe me if I told you that I still have and still wear my jean jacket from when I was in high school over 10 years ago?  I'm not even kidding.  And, honestly, I have purchased two others thinking that I should probably update my old one, but which one do I always end up wearing??  Yep, the old one!  But man, oh man, am I ever glad that I kept that sucker!  It's for reasons like the picture up above.  I am totally stealing this girl's layering idea and mixing plaids with denim.  In love.

{Five.}

I totally had my mind set on a pot of your basic, original chili for tomorrow with leftovers for Sunday, but when I was perusing Pinterest yesterday I found this recipe for a White Chicken Chili that sounds AMAZING!  Sooooo, scratch the hamburger chili...mama's whipping up this bad boy!  I can't wait to cozy up on the couch with a big ol bowl of this and my famous corn bread muffins to dip in it!  Have I mentioned yet that I love this time of year??

Well, that's all for this girl for the week!  I hope y'all have a fantastic weekend!!

Until next time...
