You must try this recipe for your holiday meal or anytime! Great alternative to mashed potatoes for your Thanksgiving Holiday meal.

Make this chutney, pour over a brick of cream cheese to serve with crackers, and watch it disappear! It is also yummy served with baked brie. The first time I made it, Shelby ate it like applesauce. It’s that good!

IBIS Bakery inside the Blackdog Coffee Shop in Lenexa makes incredible breads and pastries. Pick up a fresh loaf of bread for your family and a croissant for yourself.

Make an effort to shop small and local this holiday season. Small businesses need our support now more than ever. There are so many cute boutiques in our area. Perhaps buy gift certificates to a local spa or nail salon. Restaurant gift cards make great teacher gifts.

I love watching HGTV for home remodeling and decorating shows but this Netflix series has my heart. I’ve watched all episodes and it’s binge-worthy.

Darrin and I received this gift for our birthday and I think you need it too! It comes in a beautiful acrylic box that looks pretty sitting on my kitchen table. They have all types of different themes.

This family game looks hilarious.

I haven’t given into the Insta-Pot craze just yet, but here is a compilation of recipes for those who use and love theirs.

Have a great week with your family and take care!
