• Happy Thanksgiving. We are playing football this morning and then we will start cooking and watch some football too.
• We went to the Utah football game last Saturday and it was so exciting! They pulled out the win at the very end.
• Are there any good movies out right now? I haven’t looked, but it would be fun to go see one at the theatre this weekend.
• There is a new season of Stranger Things out. I will probably watch it to see how it all wraps up.
• We are putting up our Christmas tree tomorrow.
• The Backcountry sale is a good one and this sweater is on sale. Maria shared a bunch of other sales too. Check em out.

• On the blog this week, a fabulous fall salad, an easy holiday appetizer, and a delicious side dish.
• Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful holiday. We are grateful for you and appreciate you making our recipes!
• Long story, but I went to the dentist on Tuesday to get a crown. Well, I left with a crown, 8+ stitches in my mouth, and a whole lot of pain. My lip started twitching when they gave me the numbing medicine and my dentist cut the inside of my mouth. So I am in a lot of pain and won’t be eating much this Thanksgiving. Big bummer. I hope I can still eat a little Biscoff pumpkin pie.
• I put together a blog post with all of My Favorite Black Friday Deals! There are some GOOD sales and I have some special discount codes too! I hope you find it helpful!
• And of course, don’t forget about my gift guides, lots of the items are on sale! Gift Guide for Her, Gift Guide for Him, Gift Guide for Kids, Gift Guide for Teens, Kitchen Gift Guide, and Hostess Gift Guide. 
• The perfect pair of jeans are on sale!! My all-time favorite!

• Three fabulous sweaters: one, two, three! I love this festive jacket for the holidays too!
• If you live in Utah, come to my event with Haven Haus in Midway on Dec. 4th. It’s the cutest store! I Iwill be there from 11-1. Come hangout, there will be a hot cocoa bar, my cookies, snacks, and I will sign cookbooks. Bring a friend!
• Eby’s buy one, get one free sale is live! Their bras (especially the Relief bra) are my favorite…so comfortable and supportive! Add two items from the same category → one is automatically free. No limits, no exclusions.
• If you have leftover turkey tomorrow, make a pot pie, creamy turkey noodle soup, turkey salad, or turkey enchiladas. Just use turkey instead chicken in these recipes!
