Since I love a good recipe that is quick and easy to make, I had to try this one. And let me tell you it does not disappoint!

It’s a good idea to pull together some easy brunch ideas like a cheese appetizer. My good friends Anne and AnnMarie from Simply 2 Moms made this savory and beautiful cranberry walnut-baked brie that sounds divine!

It sounds pretty quick and simple to whip up too. Isn’t it a beautiful dish?

I bet you can serve this one throughout the holidays too. And I love that it’s keto-friendly too.

I can’t wait to try it. Have you made baked brie before?

The Best Creamy Pumpkin Soup Recipe

I’m in charge of a side dish this month, so I’m bringing my favorite creamy pumpkin soup recipe.

Have you tried pumpkin soup before?

It is so yummy good and it’s perfect for any fall brunch or dinner party, even Thanksgiving itself!

But the best part?

It can made ahead of time and served later. I love a dish that can be prepared early so I can do all of the other things and just heat it up!

My family loves this recipe and I know you will to, so give it a try!
