Black Friday Sales
Happy Wednesday everyone! The Black Friday Sales are crazy this year! I’m getting so many bloggers posting their favorite picks, emails from some of my favorite stores, and suggestions from friends and family. I thought I’d put together a list of pet products, home products, fashion, and beauty along with promotional codes to use. I've started my Christmas shopping and bought new wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby's 75% off Christmas sale so I'm covered in that department. I do love using bags...
Whipped Feta With Ranch Dressing Dip
Happy Monday everyone! This Whipped Feta Dip With Ranch Dressing is pretty awesome! I don’t normally posts a lot of dips and was a little apprehensive about this one until I tried it. Sweet, salty, and extra creamy, this dip will be a hit at your party! I added chopped scallions and honey on top but you can add a mix of hot pepper flakes, chopped pistachios, parsley, and olive oil instead. Add some zing with a side of crackers and pepperoni for dipping. How to make whipped feta dip: ...

Turkey Table
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year and couldn’t wait to put my Turkey Table together to show you! These dishes were bought a few years ago at Home Goods and I love them because they are nice and big for all the fixings! It actually took me 3 years to get matching dinner and salad plates but I was patient and kept looking :-). This table is all about fall colors in shades of blue, caramel, gold, burgundy, rust, orange, and green. Never be afraid to mix patterns...
Thanksgiving Day Doggie Brittle
Happy Monday everyone! I’m hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year and it got me thinking about what I’m going to make the dogs for their turkey dinner when this Thanksgiving Doggie Brittle came to mind. I had a box of Stella and Chewy’s Grain Free Stella’s Stew (Beef) in the refrigerator that I needed to use but wasn’t quite sure what to do with it other than pour it over their food. I figured why not mix some ingredients together and see if they liked my recipe. This recipe came...
Doggie Pumpkin Cookies
Happy Wednesday everyone! It’s November 2nd and what better way to kick off November than with these Doggie Pumpkin Cookies.

The dough is rolled out to approximately 1/4 inch thick, baked in the oven for 18 minutes and comes out slightly puffy in the middle and crunchy on the ends. Made with healthy dog approved ingredients, these treats were a hit especially with Maggie who never left my side while I...

This is a re-post: This is such a fun recipe for this time of year. Honestly, you could make it for any holiday and just change the color of the icing. How about black cake and red icing for Christmas anyone? Happy Monday everyone! And Happy Halloween! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I always celebrate it by curbing my sweet tooth and creating something sweet to eat. If my aunts are reading this, they might be laughing because my whole family can relate. We all have that sweet...
Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies
Happy Wednesday everyone! Can you believe it’s almost Halloween! I thought these Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies would be perfect for this time of year. The base is a chocolate cookie that has been given a boost of black gel food coloring which makes these cookies look jet black and goes perfectly with the colors of Halloween. I sprinkled green sugary crystals and chocolate bits over them right out of the oven and added a Mellocreme Pumpkin on top for a pop of color and sugary sweetness. There...
