Today was all about sweet potatoes, tomorrow we conquer leftover stuffing! Happy Hannukah to those of you who celebrate Hannukah, and I posted a special gift for you earlier today, Protein Potato Latkes! Y’all should know by …

~~posted by Jen Call it dessert, call it breakfast, I just call it SCRUMPTIOUS! Happy Black Friday! For those of you who were up and waiting in line at 3 am, bless your hearts! I might be awake at 3 am, but there is NO WAY IN HELL I am getting out of my warm bed to brave the cold, …
