I just had a bit of unintentional stress this morning. My parents are coming down here for Christmas this year, and my mom and I are going to make a full turkey Christmas dinner. Since my apartment's kitchen isn't the hugest, we decided to order pies from our favorite pie place (Pie Junkie) that way… Continue reading Frosted Gingerbread Bars

Christmas Cookie Truffles
It's December 2nd, and if your Christmas tree isn't up yet---what are you waiting for?!

I can't go anywhere, though, since I'll more than likely have to work the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The biggest day for college… Continue reading Whiskey & Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Give me a plate full of stuffing and mashed potatoes any day over sliced turkey or ham. My family… Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Ham
