Using a Vacuum Sealer For Meal Prep and Leftovers

December 3, 2022 by BlessingsInSurprise

Hey, friends!  Check out my latest video about how you can use a vacuum sealer to preserve your leftovers and to prep some fast and easy meals for your family.

See the links below the video for my Thanksgiving Turkey Crockpot Recipe, instructions on how to can your extra turkey meat, and more!

Sweet Cinnamon Butter

November 28, 2022 by BlessingsInSurprise

This post will be short and sweet, but I just quickly wanted to share my recipe with you for sweet cinnamon butter.

I made this butter for Thanksgiving, and my family LOVED it!!  It was delicious on both the rolls and on the sweet potatoes.  It’s a really simple recipe, and the results are well worth the less than 5 minutes that it takes to throw it together.

Find the recipe below:

  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 1/2 cup + 1 and 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, and enjoy on breads, waffles, pancakes, sweet potatoes and more!

Hint:  Check out this post for my grandma’s homemade pancake and waffle recipe:
