The Candee Dish

  In spite of the destructive storms this week, I still have some Faves to share. 1) Top Golf Courses of the USA Map  If you know my husband at all, then you know how much he loves golf and travel. So, what could be better than traveling for golf? I thought this would be so much fun for him to try and play as many of these courses as possible and put a pushpin in the map. He’s played a few of them already, and is looking forward to documenting them. 2) The Doctor’s Child  This is the 4th (and I think final) book in Daniel Hurst’s “Doctor” series. I enjoyed the whole series, and really felt like I knew all of the characters. I also felt closure, for the most part, at the end of this book.  3) Airmoto Air Pump  Instagram got me again with this one. Bought it, and didn’t use it for awhile, but we needed to air up bike tires recently and this thing is so cool! It’s rechargeable and digital. It tells you when you’ve achieved the right amount of air. Love it! 4) The F...

  Happy Friday morning! Let’s get right into the Faves, although, how did y’all feel about the Survivor finale? 1) Kelsi Dagger Dover Platform Sandals  IG sucked me in again. These popped up and I was in a trance as I hit the “place order” button. I love them so much!!  2) Victor’s Wood Grill  Located in Coppell, it was a weekly staple when we lived there. It’s not too far away from us now, but we definitely don’t get over there as often as we’d like. This week was a blessing as we got to go twice! We went on Monday with our son Hudson, he thinks they make the best grilled chicken of anyone, and last night with our Grow Group Supper Club. My go to every time is Grilled Naked Salmon with a side of Sautéed Spinach. I love it! If I’m in the mood to share, Walt and I will split the Pork Milanese. It’s super yummy as well.  3) The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon  I gotta admit, I was dreading reading this, but my stepfather’s wife, Betsy, recommended it and specifi...

It’s time for Friday Faves! 1) Survivor  I used to watch Survivor back in the 1900s (ha, ha, that sounds so funny), but haven’t watched in years. My daughter and son in law were watching it this season and suggested we all watch together. I’m hooked! Next week is the season finale, but I love that we have been watching together and talk about it afterwards. Will definitely watch again with them next season! 2) R+F Lash Boot  I have used this for years. It ain’t cheap, and now there are so many brands of lash serums, I thought I’d try some cheaper options. I don’t know if Katie Kim ever reads this, but if she does I want her to know: this stuff is worth the $$$. I didn’t see any positive growth with the two cheaper brands I tried, as a matter of fact, my lashes seemed to revert back to their former state. When I started back on Lash Boost, I could see an improvement again.  3) Bare Minerals Lipstick  I like the consistency of Bare Minerals lipstick. It seems to stay o...

  Posting this week’s Faves a day early as I will be out of town celebrating my future daughter-in-law at her Bridal Shower in Houston. 1) Stouffer’s Family Size Lasagna  I know this is an odd Fave for me, but recently we hosted our Bible Study here, and I had forgotten we were hosting, so I bought and served these in a pinch with a salad and garlic bread. Several people went back for seconds, they were SO good!  2) She’s Not Sorry by Mary Kubica  I just finished this book, Mary Kubica’s latest, and I’m on the fence. On one hand, the plot was super interesting, and the twists were surprising, but I did not like how the main character talked and talked and talked, rationalizing her decisions and actions. Would I recommend? Probably. I’m starting to wonder if I’m just not a fan of Mary Kubica’s character developments. I feel like I had issues with the last book I read of hers years ago. 3) Thrive Cosmetics Brilliant Eye Brighteners  I love these eye shadow pencils...

  It’s been a minute since I’ve done my Faves (sorry Vicki and Betsy), but I’m home and back at it! 1) BONTEC Mobile TV Cart  I may have shared this before, but it’s a Fave that just keeps on giving. We got home late Sunday night from a trip, and all I wanted to do was climb into bed and watch TV. Our bedroom Roku had stopped working, so I rolled in our 2nd “football watching” TV on this handy dandy mobile TV cart and was able to relax and chill to some mindless TV. This TV stand has been used so much since we purchased it. Note: I keep the TV on it all the time. 2) Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Lengthening Mascara  Thank you to my future daughter in law, Corinne, for recommending this! I was having trouble with my mascara smearing on my upper lids and she said she had been using this for years and loved it. My mascara smearing problem is solved! And my lashes actually can be seen!  3) Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial  This showed up in my FabFitFun box and wh...
