When I say I am obsessed with these... I am OBSESSED. These are hands down, amazing. I was so excited when I took my first bite because they were exactly what I had hoped for. Red Velvet Brownies are thick, chewy and have a hint of cocoa. I used my favorite whipped frosting recipe which took these gorgeous brownies to the next level. The frosting is not super sweet, but super light and fluffy. You could use a cream cheese frosting as well! I just had to share at least one … [Read more...]

Christmas Crack (AKA White Chocolate Chex Mix)
{Scroll down for the recipe} Give me all of the sweets! Do you want sugar once the holidays hit, too? Or is it just me? The past few weeks I have been on a sugar binge - so not healthy but when you're in the last month of pregnancy, you do what you gotta do to get through it, and in my case, that is snacking on the sweets. Do you snack or are you a meal eater? I am usually a meal eater, but again, pregnancy (and this time of year) has turned me into a snacker. This recipe for Christmas … [Read more...]

Turkey Cranberry Sandwich
I have to share this sandwich you. This beauty is inspired from one of my favorite sandwiches back in Iowa. There's a deli there called Palmer's Deli and it is LEGIT.

It's very similar so I can't take credit for coming up with this delicious sandwich, but that's okay with me. I'm just glad I can enjoy it at … [Read more...]
Cranberry Sauce
It's the prettiest addition to the Thanksgiving meal. Cranberry Sauce is a must for Thanksgiving. Do you agree? It adds that subtle tartness and sweetness to a meal that is full of very savory dishes. It's also goooorgeous. Cranberries are the most beautiful color and they get even prettier when they are cooked down. There are two reasons why I love cranberry sauce. One being, it's delicious with the Thanksgiving meal and two, it's the best spread for turkey sandwiches, toast, rolls, etc. … [Read more...]

Sweet Potato Casserole
What's your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? Is it sweet potato casserole? Ok good. Because you're going to love this post then! I have to admit, I haven't been the biggest fan of sweet potato casserole - I just didn't grow up with it. We were the cheesy potato side dish kind of family. BUT, I got married and celebrated Thanksgiving with my husband's side of the family a few times and his Aunt made a mean sweet potato casserole. I asked her for the recipe and it of course was one of the great … [Read more...]
