{Leftover Turkey Sandwhich Ideas}

Check out these scrumptious sandwiches to help you gobble up what's left of that bird on Thursday. While flipping through the November issue of Real Simple this weekend, I came across these ideas - and they just looked too good not to share. What other meals do you make with your leftover turkey?

{Recent Purchase Report}

I recently received a magazine in the mail from Fossil - and when I saw it I thought "Fossil?? How did I get on the mailing list for Fossil? They sell watches, right?" WRONG! I started flipping through the pages and after several ooohs and ahhhs,  I landed on these boots {shown below}, and I said "oh I'm so getting those" and went online to purchase them. It was literally love at first sight, and yesterday when I received them, I love them just as much {if not more} in person. They are the perfect height, sooo comfortable, and let's just say, for those that see me often - I apologize in advance because I will be wearing these all the time - so I don't want to hear you say "dang, she's wearing those again?" - k? If you also thought that Fossil only sold watches - click here and look through their site - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! (OH! - and check out the holiday lookbook that Kendi Everday did for Fossil - love her!!!)

{Sweet Paul Magazine: Divine Chocolate}

The online holiday issue of Sweet Paul Magazine went live yesterday, and it's filled with all sorts of festive goodies and amazing photography. One thing that I haven't had in months, is chocolate, so right away this recipe jumped out at me. Doesn't it look so m-word* and delicious?

{*moist is on a list of unspeakable words, so I refuse to allow it to come out of my mouth - lol}
PS - how do you like the new blog format?

{For My Raleigh Peeps: Fave Restaurants}

The question "where should we go to eat" is a question I have to answer at least once a week, and while I’m sure I have talked about almost all of these places, I have decided to start doing little food guides of my go-to spots and what I like to order there. And for those of you that don't live in Raleigh, use this as a guide for when you come to visit {hint hint - you know who you are}...

These are just four of my many favorite restaurants here in Raleigh - stay tuned for several more. For those that live here {or visited} what are some of your favorite breakfast restaurants?
