Tonight starts Hanukkah. And one fantastic aspect of this special time is the food.

Here is an amazing recipe for a Kosher Beef Brisket. Oh, the slow simmering goodness of a brisket cooking, just filling the house is a memory in the making.

And, hey, you don’t have to be Jewish to share this meal. Just eat – and celebrate!

It’s Black Friday! It’s Black Friday!

Are you brave enough to get out there with the crowds? I’m not sure I am, but I am woman enough to jump online and take advantage of great deals happening now.

I HAVE to buy these things for the NEXT holiday, so why not save some cash while I’m at it? I just have to be quick.

So, I’m buying this baby…

A gorgeous Chateaubriand for my holiday meal. I’ll freeze it and thaw it when I’m ready.

Then…I’m going to buy some of these to give as gifts…

Impressive gifts if I do say so myself. Filet mignon is always a winner. Who wouldn’t want to unwrap these?

So what are YOU doing this Black Friday? There are deals to be had out there!!!!! 🙂

Turkey and pumpkin cheesecake. Oh. Yum.

What are you cooking for Thanksgiving? Or are you leaving the cooking to someone else? 😉

Either way, have a wonderful holiday!
