Thanksgiving Treats

This Thanksgiving, I was given the task of cooking two items. This will be the first time I am contributing to a holiday dinner; while some groan about the fact that they will have to bring a dish, I on the other hand am extremely excited about it. I have already decided on a dessert; I found the recipe to a Maple-Bourbon Pecan Pie (recipe shown here). Pecan pie is truly one of my favorite desserts, and the maple syrup and bourbon twist will definitely sweeten this already delicious treat. I am also cooking the stuffing, as a request. I'm still searching for a really great recipe, but I am leaning towards the classic Herb Stuffing. Stuffing is the one classic dish on Thanksgiving that I always look forward to. With all of this food talk, we can't forget what Thanksgiving is really about - being thankful for everything we have in our lives. I'm thankful for my family, best friends, my boyfriend, and all of the great memories and conversations I've had with them. I hope your Thanksgiving is as wonderful and delicious as it should be! xo.

Holiday Bliss

This time of year is my absolute favorite. I live for the holiday scents, food, decor and parties. Even though it is a bit early, I'm already thinking about Christmas. One thing that gets me in the mood for the holidays are the amazing candle scents that come out this time of year. Currently, my bedroom smells like Candied Sugar Plum, my kitchen like Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, and my living room like Merry Mistle Toe. These yummy yet affordable scents are by Slatkin & Co., and can be found at Bath & Body Works. You can even bring the scents with you while you're on the road with their SCENTPORTABLE's. If you're as big of a Christmas fan as I am, I highly recommend starting off your holiday cheer with these perfect candles.
