T.G.I.F. {Young Grasshopper's Featured 5}

This week sucked.

There, I said it.
Really it just sucked the life out of me.
Not actually sucked.
you know,

I worked way too hard.

Blogged way too little.

Sigh.

But good outcomes.

And I did manage to check out a few blog posts.

so, I am able to get back on track AND still do my

FEATURED FIVE!

We have a Feature hog alert.... 

 Gerry over at Foodness Gracious....

I stalk him and his sweets and he killed it this week. 

This is my Father's Day menu.....

shhhhhh don't tell David!

Biscoff Corn Dogs

[oh just Shut. The. Front. Door. Gerry!]

and.... wait for it...

 Coconut Tres Leches Cake [I'm telling you David will propose all over again].

Strawberry Orange Creamsicles on a Chilly Rainy Day.... great post and a recipe I personally will be making this weekend in Sunny Florida!  Thanks Curly Girl :)

Apparently I missed the memo that it was a creamsicle week.... but I'm glad these girls had it covered!  Jen over at Three Little Piglets posted an awesome Orange Creamsicle Cupcake that you shouldn't miss.... fun little giveaway that you can get in on too if you hurry!

A blog hop that I only wish I could have gotten my crap together to be a part of..... Katherine Martenelli featured a Black Bean & Corn Salsa that I am DYING to try.... check it out :)

 And last but in NO WAY least.... my one for good luck!

how could I not include The Smitten Kitchen's Bacon, Egg & Leek Risotto???

Really?

how did I not think of that?!?

I'll be trying this REAL soon!
