New Year’s Eve Champagne Punch

Five Steps to a Bomb Cheese Plate

The Lex Eats Gift Guide
It’s that time of year… let the holiday shopping commence! I love giving people gifts. I Christmas shop all year round; if I see something perfect for someone, I just buy it! There’s nothing I hate more than going to the mall knowing you need a gift that day and […]
Where to shop local this Black Friday
Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I hope you’ve had an awesome day with friends and family and are going to bed with full hearts (and bellies of course!) Are you one of the crazies venturing out for Black Friday sales tomorrow? I’m definitely avoiding the mall, but I may try and hit […]
