Hello! And happy Black Friday!

Yesterday’s feast was one I am reckoning with today, because this bird is still stuffed! I didn’t host this year, but I was requested to bring this sweet potato dish that’s become a family fave. Cheers for more side dishes! But not to worry, I already made two big turkey breasts, so I have plenty of leftovers to make my fave turkey pot pie with my homemade crust, turkey noodle soup, and more. Glory be! The feast continues!
This was the most popular recipe on FoodieCrush for your Thanksgiving tables this week. Thank you to everyone who made it for your feast and thank you to all who visit and read, make and share! I’m beyond grateful for all of you.
My Smudge shared her Christmas wish list with me via this app, and I’m wondering why I didn’t know about it before! It’s so easy to update and keep track of who wants what. I’ve started mine and shared it with Santa — fingers crossed I’ve been a good girl this year.
