:Black Friday is here and there's deals all over the place that started way before Thanksgiving and will end well after you're tired of the turkey. 

But...do you really need all of that stuff? 
Probably not. 
But how do you decide? 
Well, that's where I come in! 
This year, I'm happy to present to you the 2018 Black Friday Kitchen Deals Guide so you can know what's really worth buying and what can sit in your Amazon cart til next year. 
​In this guide you'll find:

• The BEST deals on the latest appliances that will help you save time and money
• What's ABSOLUTELY worth buying this Black Friday
• Breakdown of how much you're saving
• My personal recommendations for products that I use every day. 

Many of the deals are already live and will be available til Monday....or until supplies run out at stores. 

So get your copy of your guide today and get shopping! 

Black Friday is almost here and you know what that means: getting lots of great deals on things you need and some things you want.

I love Black Friday, because it gives me a chance to get those things that have been sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for a while. 

​​If you're anything like me though, you probably didn't already check and go through what you had before you bought that new thing.  

Now we all know when there's a sale that sometimes we get a little click happy and end up buying stuff we may or may not need. 
​
“But it's on sale!”
is often used to justify some purchases for sure. But before you spend another dime or add something else to that Amazon shopping cart, I want to invite you to join me on Tuesday the help you get organized already! 
(This training is for me too ? cuz sometimes, life is a mess.)

On Tuesday, I'll be speaking Nonnahs Driskell, the founding organizer of Get Organized Already (Southern California). They are a team of professional organizers who help people like you (and me) declutter and organize their stuff every day.

She has organized about 251 kitchens. She’s been featured on Hoarders, The OWN Network ?, Good Housekeeping, and many more!
Y'all, she's seen it all and knows what’s in your kitchen.

• The giant container of peppercorns from Costco? Check.
• 4 different bottles of balsamic vinegar you never use? Check.
• Enough Tupperware to survive the apocalypse? Check.)

Join us on Tuesday @ 8pm EST or catch the replay over on my Facebook page. 

"What's that smell?"
That’s often a phrase that I hear at work.
Now when you’re around kids all day and you hear it, that could often mean one of two things...
But in this case we were in the teacher’s lounge, so usually the smells are safe. 🤣
In this case the person was talking about my Roasted Salsa Verde Soup that I was eating for lunch (pictured above. Since it's one of my favorites, I made it for my photo shoot back in the summer).
In this case the person was talking about my Roasted Salsa Verde Soup that I was eating for lunch.
Then my coworker followed up with a
“OMG, that smells SO good!”
So I decided to bring her some for lunch the next day. Then she proceeded to tell me how good it was. Words she used were fresh and filling. 
My coworkers make the perfect taste testers!
Anyway, I realized that I should probably not be stingy and share with everybody, so here’s a link to a video I did making the soup along with the recipe, so you can eat good too.

And no it's not a bunch of steps. 
And yes you can make it into a freezer meal. (I show you how in the video.)
And yes, healthy and tasty at the same time (so you can save those calories for sweet potato pie instead). 
If that's not enough of a reason to check it out, here's a few more. 

​Here’s a few more reasons why you should check it out:

• You’re probably hungry right now anyway.
• You can make some for now and then some to freeze for later (Don’t worry, I show you how.)
• The ingredients can easily be found at any major grocery store
• It’s $2 a serving. (The last time you spend $2 on lunch, you were probably in elementary school.)

Check out the video above and the recipe below.
Stay warm out there y’all!
