Hi Friend,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful to you, dear reader, for being here, thank you. You have my thanks and gratitude, I’m pretty partial, but I think I have the best audience around!

Theme of the week: Thanksgiving leftovers

Thanksgiving leftover breakfast sandwich These Thanksgiving leftover breakfast sandwiches are so yummy and the perfect way to use leftover turkey! Take me to the recipe

Thanksgiving leftover sandwich My ultimate favorite Thanksgiving leftover sandwich. Sourdough bread with one side spread with mayo and a little garlic powder (like a lazy garlic aioli), the other side spread with cranberry sauce spread like a jam, turkey, cheddar or brie and some greens, it’s so so easy and good!

Use leftover cranberry for these crumb bars My favorite way to use leftover cranberry sauce is to make these cranberry walnut crumb bars - they freeze really well too. Take me to the recipe

Personal Stories

Last weekend we went to the annual Folk Fair - fun tidbit, when Nick and I first started dating I did Serbian folk dancing with him! It's fun to see others dance now, and our kids are doing it, not for show at the Folk Fair though.

Sam got to look through old photo books (I use Chatbooks and get one made every year for our family - they have a really good cell phone app and I do it all through my phone).

Nick got to spend time with the old 3 who were off school, he took them to breakfast, bowling and to a movie, lucky duckies. I'm so thankful we got to have family time together this past week!

Links I'm loving

2 links I'm loving this week:

• Cute baseball hat​
• This cordless vacuum has seriously changed the cleaning game for me. It is so easy just grab out of the closet and quickly vacuum an area. If I were to recommend splurging on one thing this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, it would be this!

Reader Comments and Recreations

I love seeing your recreations and hearing your feedback, thank you!

Made these for a Christmas cookie swap at church and everyone wanted the recipe. I followed all directions except I made them smaller due to the amount of people and I added walnuts which tasted awesome in my opinion. Great easy cookie recipe! ​ Comment on ​chocolate chip cookies made with real cranberries​
