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 🙂
On with the good fun and fun!
I’m still tired from Thanksgiving!
Fabulous!!!

Yumborama! I have to go back and fetch that roasty potato recipe now while I remember!
thanks Jeanie, those are my favorite potatoes!
I don’t think my maple orange cranberry sauce has ever been served over anything as mouthwatering as bacon-wrapped brussels Jenna! Thank you for that fun pairing and linking to the recipe. YUM!
I made your sauce for Thanksgiving and loved it, and had some leftover…it was a fabulous compliment to the bacon wrapped sprouts for game day appetizers! Will post soon, thank you Johanne!
I am constantly amazed by your energy and creativity. All your food looks delicious.
