Is it Friday already?! Good grief, time is a-flying!
I need to start a-running!
Before my guests come a-calling!
They’ll be here in less than no time, and I feel like I can’t get the house clean enough, soon enough!
Oh, well, what are you gonna do?
I know! Let’s party, instead!
With Loretta@Safari of the Mind and Jess@Cooking Is My Sport. Good times guaranteed!

And now…drum rolls, please… Presenting features from last week’s fiesta:
Homemade Rose Harissa Spice Mix from Elaine @ foodbod
“[This] gives us a floral twist to harissa. I not only liked the recipe but the colours, textures and flavors in this mix are stunning in Elaine’s pictures. I love the “bling” in her scoop, too, which took me back to some happy memories of a movie and a young family member dancing in a show. This post just evokes happiness and because of the roses, summertime!” — Judi
“Sometimes when you read a spice mix recipe you can almost taste it. This harissa spice mix has beautifully vibrant colours and I can almost smell it reading about it! It makes me want to reach for the ingredients and make it straight away for, like Elaine, a sprinkle on most everything. The falafels look amazing and oh, that butternut squash looks to die for!” — Petra
“Well, first of all, I’ve been obsessing on harissa all week this week. And here’s the best recipe for it. Elaine, you’re psychic. I swear you can read my mind!” — Angie
Baklava from Steffi @ Ginger&Bread
“This looks amazing. Steffi is taking us to the Middle East with absolutely delicious looking baklava made from scratch. I find it so inspiring when I see someone make something new and it looks so delicious! The syrup sounds so flavourful and the baklava so delicious, I am sure I would eat more than one or two pieces. This is perfect party food!” — Petra
Triple Layer Lemon Meringue Cake from Shani @ The Weekend Sugar
“This caught my eye immediately because it is a lemon dessert and her pictures were very showy with the torched meringue. If you love lemon you will enjoy this dessert. Three different flavors are going on here; lemon curd, lemon buttercream and finishing with a crisp meringue – now, what’s not to like!” — Judi
New Beginnings and the Big 3: Baked Churros from Naina @ Spice in the City
“Naina shared some great news with us. This is her third anniversary of blogging and she has given her site a new look which looks fantastic. To top it off Naina brought some delicious baked churros you could dip in chocolate. I just love to see bloggers who are dedicated to their blog and make the
effort to maintain and improve it. Happy Anniversary Naina and many more to come!” — Judi
“Wha-a-a-t…? What’s going on? See, I closed my eyes for just a second and already I missed all kinds of important milestones going on around here. 3rd year Blogiversary? That’s a big deal! A new self-hosted site? That’s a big freaking deal! Way to go, Naina! We wish you all the luck, not that you need any. Judging from your natural talents as a cook and writer and keen eyes for food styling, you certainly will go far. We’re cheering you on, especially since you bribed us with the delicious churros, yum!” — Angie

Wow! I am so honoured that my Harissa spice mix has been chosen as one of your picks, and all of your lovely words are just amazing 🙂 thank you so very much xx
Here’s to this week’s party, bring it on ???
I need to make that harissa! You know why? I can’t find bottled harissa! Selma used it a lot in her recipes and I feel like I won’t be getting the full experience if I try her recipes without it, so thank you for the recipe. It’s a crowd favorite! 🙂
I’m so pleased!! Especially if it means you can make more of Selma’s recipes. I do have the recipe for the full paste on my blog too though xx
Yes, I think I remember the paste recipe, but this will give me another option, too. I think I’ll try both. The only thing I don’t have is the dry red bell pepper, but that shouldn’t be too hard to find, right?
I bought mine online..
Ok, I’ll check Amazon, thanks!
Cool 🙂 I got the dried tomato flakes online too x
I should do more online shopping! 🙂
Yes!!!!
And I even have Amazon Prime, free shipping!! 🙂
Use it!!!!
🙂 Thanks for the encouragement!
And I don’t even work for Amazon!
Lol!!
Yay! I knew you will be picked! Good job, Elaine. 😉
Thank you sweetie x x x x x
I just ordered all of the ingredients I did not have so I can make this lovely harissa!
Yay! I hope you like it 🙂
I said the same thing Angie!! Is it Friday already??? Time goes by so quick! Soon summer will be done!:(
Love all the featured posts this week! Happy FF!
I know! I feel like I’m wasting my summer break. I haven’t been to the beach even once! 🙂
Me neither Angie!!:( Beach is some distance and I am a new driver. I am still avoiding highways! So haven’t been to the beach. I am rectifying that this weekend. It is going to be a beach day for me! The kids are so excited!!
Yay! Sounds like a wonderful plan for the weekend! Have fun; I’m excited for you and the kids! 🙂
Time is racing indeed! Some great features, as ever. Must try that harissa…
I feel the need to move faster! 🙂 That harissa sounds fabulous, doesn’t it?
Not too fast for me, I have some more cooking to do before baby arrives 🙂
What baby? Are you keeping a secret?
Happy Fiesta Friday, Angie!
Some amazing features, as always!
Thanks, Michelle! Happy FF to you, too!
It’s Friday already!!! Yihee!!! Happy FF, Angie! Happy FF, friends!!! xx
Does it come once week, Fridays?! Sometimes I forget, haha..
I think more than once. Haha!
Good one, Jhuls! LOL!
Great features Angie…would love to make harissa in honor of Selma too – hey Elaine can you hear me shouting???? Where is it on your blog, your first one I mean ? 🙂
I’m going to look for it, Loretta!
No worries Angie, I was just being lazy… I got it 🙂
You found it?
yup, sure did….thanks!
I just did, too. Finally, a chance to use up my caraway seeds! 🙂
Thanks for hosting Angie. We’ve been on vacation this week. Need to get busy next week. Happy FF!
Vacation is good!! I’ll have mine next week, and hopefully that won’t be the last one this summer. Happy FF!
Yay, thank you so very much for featuring my churros & thank you for all the supportive words & constant encouragement!! I haven’t seen much sunshine this summer & it is going to end soon 🙁 Time does fly, doesn’t it!!
I guess that means we’re having fun?? Although I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything, but hey…we’re having fun!! 😀
I am SOOOOOOO happy it’s finally Friday. Gorgeous features! Happy FF! Enjoy your weekend 🙂
Me, too, Sarah! Even though I’m on summer break, so every day is just a lazy day, haha… But Friday is special ‘coz we get to party! 😀 Happy FF!
Thank you all so much – and what a great round-up it has been! I am ever so chuffed 🙂
We’ve been gorging on churros for the last couple of days, chasing the poor vendors across the town in search of the perfect dulce con leche filling. My idea of a holiday, certainly!
Have a wonderful party, Angie, thank you for hosting and have a wonderful break! Off to catch another load of churros now …
Where are you? I wanna be there, chasing churro vendors! I can’t think of anything more fun!! 😀 Your baklava, btw, is fabulous. Never seen one so perfect!
Thank you – I am blushing as I type this. Or is it sunburn?! 😉
Thanks Angie, for the lovely party.
You’re welcome. Sadhna! 🙂
