Friday Favorites

Happy Fri-yay!  Hope you have had a terrific week!  I am going to be enjoying my extended family in town for a long weekend. It has been 10 years since we have all been together at the same time. Too long!

Here are my favorites for the week:

Trader Joe's Premium Olive Oil

This is a really good tasting olive oil, plus it is not expensive at $7.99. But the best part? It comes with a pouring spout, very handy!

Confetti Rim Margarita Glass

We are having a taco bar with all of the fixings at our house this weekend. I realized I don't own margarita glasses and found these at Pier 1. These are perfect for a party!

Duncan Hines Chocolate Almond Coffee Cake

I was looking for a new dessert recipe to make while we have company this weekend. I love devil's food cake and this looks delicious. The best part is it starts with a box cake mix so I don't have to spend all afternoon in the kitchen and miss out on the fun!

Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• 1 tbsp. instant espresso
• ½ cup and 2 tbsp. all purpose flour
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup chopped almonds
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• 1 tsp. salt

Baking Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 13"x9" pan.
• Mix together the cake mix, eggs, milk, instant espresso, and butter.
• Spread evenly into the pan.
• In a separate bowl mix together the flour, sugar, butter almonds and salt.
• Sprinkle almond mixture on top of cake.
• Bake 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.

That's it for today, be back next week!
