Hey hey hey! It’s the freaking WEEKEND. I am so excited. What are you up to? What are your plans?

We are going to start decorating a bit for the holidays – I KNOW I know, it’s kinda early, but now that I have Max it takes me approximately 56 times longer to do everything in my life. True story.

Please tell me you’re going to make a massive batch of apple cider sangria and apple cider margaritas? ALSO! All week long we’ve been sharing a full Thanksgiving dinner over on the pioneer woman, and I made this delicious pecan pie tart. It was practically impossible to not stand over it and eat it with a fork. SO good.

P.S. – did you see I shared the first holiday gift guide of the season? More coming this weekend!

P.P.S. you can find things to do with your Turkey Day leftovers right here and here, plus I’ll share more in a few days.

Internet goods:

holy cow: goat cheese grits with brussels, squash and an egg. wowza.

not sure how to handle this chocolate mudslide pie. i want to consume the entire thing.a

also, this butterscotch pumpkin pie is perfection.

perhaps this stunning roasted beet and pear salad will make an appearance on my thanksgiving table.

the prettiest winter sangria.

i might be switching up my usual side this week to make some brown butter sweet potato casserole. oh my gosh.

super craving this at home beef and broccoli.

a holiday cocktail that’s dreamy: cranberry mules.

pumpkin spice coconut ice cream in a PANCAKE. a pancake!

i want to be crafty so badly so i can make these DIY party gifts.

how cute are these little sweet and savory little cheddar muffins?

3 steps to perfectly crispy turkey skin. my fave.

pumpkin spice cheesecake with salted caramel. dead.
