FRIDAY FAVORITES...NOVEMBER NICE

I must say, November has been way “NICER” than October but it’s going to dang fast! Slow down please! I cannot believe Thanksgiving is Thursday but I’m so ready for that turkey dinner with my sweet, small crew!

1. So "DEER'

Well, I’m happy to say all my decorating is complete! One of our sons came home Saturday to help with the outside stuff and put together the glorious lit deer family that my mom got me as part of my Christmas present. I just love them to pieces. And I love that our boy will still get up on the roof and hang those high wreaths. Balls too! What a great helper!

And then the next day we had a 50 mile an hour winds and knocked one down so it actually took two sons to get it back up there later in the week, LOL!

2. "Reindeer Mule"

YETI BARTENDER

It was an absolute no-brainer that I would create my favorite holiday cocktail of all time for the Yeti Bartender Series! I first had this delicious Reindeer Mule at a local brewery several years ago but last year they took it off the menu and I believe I even told them how incredibly sad I was about that. LOL. But I had taken a picture of the ingredients one year so I was able to concoct it at home along with my own homemade cinnamon cranberry simple syrup!

Check out my latest YouTube video.

AND on Sunday here on the Blog, I will have the entire recipe and a post dedicated to said yummy Reindeer Mule!

The red truck with a Christmas tree in the back and sweet snow swirling while playing Jingle Bells is just delightful! I also have the three wick candles and they are amazing and only 10 bucks.

4. Target PJ's

Speaking of Target Goodness.... OK, I keep saying this but every pair of coziness I get becomes my favorite and these thermal plaid joggers and long sleeve shirt SET from Target have my heart big time! Get you some, they come in several patterns and would also make a great gift, it would even be good to layer them under your clothes for outside play. And you MUST Have some fuzzy Leopard Slippers

 TURKEY CHEESEBALL

A friend of mine asked me for the recipe for this turkey cheese ball and well I’ve shared a photo of it with y’all before, I decided I should share the recipe in case you wanna make it next Thursday!

Turkey Cheese Ball

Ingredients

1 14oz tub sharp cheddar cheese spread (we like Merkt’s)

1 block cream cheese, softened 

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 

 Chopped pecans & optional fresh parsley to roll the ball in. 

 

Stick pretzels, candy corn, candy eyes (I got mine at Michael’s and I’ve also seen them on Amazon) and a little frosting to hold the eyes and candy corn on with.

 

Directions:

Mix the sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese with a hand mixer until very creamy, add in garlic salt and Worcestershire and mix well again. Wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours. Remove and roll the cheese ball in the pecans & fresh parsley if desired. Stick the pretzel sticks in the back for the feathers and with an additional pretzel stick add a little frosting to the top for the eyes and the front for the candy corn nose. Chill on a cheeseboard until ready to serve. The cheese ball itself can even be frozen ahead of time and just let it thaw a little bit before creating the turkey appendages.

MEMES

Hope you eat healthy so you can indulge next week, deck, wrap whatever festive and Have a great weekend!
