Sounds like you’ll be eating well in December Jenna! I think I need to pick up some more Brussels sprouts:@)
Have you ever had blue ones? They are supposed to taste sweeter but I couldn’t tell the difference. They are a hybrid of Brussels sprouts and red cabbage!
Hooray for Peppermint Month!!
One of my favorites is peppermint ice cream, especially in the North Pole cocktail!
I forgot how much I love peppermint stick ice cream! Must try that cocktail!!
yes you have to try it!!
Everything looks scrumptious, Jenna! I can’t believe that December is almost here. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
thanks Kitty, I did and hope you did too 🙂
