Happy weekend to you!

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away already! Granted, it falls on the absolute earliest possible day this year, but it totally snuck up on me this year. Today I’m spending the day in the kitchen working on a couple of new recipes that I hope to bring to you for Christmas! I’ll probably be doing so in fleece pajamas pants, fleece socks, and my coziest hoodie because it’s going to be COLD here today! What are you up to this weekend?!

As always, you’ll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week, the most shared recipes, my Sunday dinner menu, and recipes I’ve bookmarked from other blogs. Enjoy!
