In the next few weeks, we'll be entering into the craziest travel season of the year.  Did you know that there are roughly 10 million airline flights in the U.S. alone?  And a large percentage of that number comes from holiday travel.  Everyone wants to reconnect with family and friends around the holidays which means that most of us will take to the skies or the roads to get back home.

Unfortunately, if you're traveling by air, you must comply with the TSA regulations concerning liquids for carry-on luggage and/or costly baggage fees for checked luggage.  While there's always been a way to make travel size toiletries for shampoo, conditioner, lotions, creams and gels, there hasn't been a way to make your own travel sized toothpaste from a full size tube...until now!

I'm so stoked that we're now in November, because that means that Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away.    I love the Thanksgiving holiday, for it is steeped in tradition, gratitude, great food, family and football!

Unfortunately, I don't get to make merry as much as I'd like to on this holiday, because I'm usually stuck in the kitchen preparing the large, delectable feast which takes my family all of about 30 minutes to eat.

Believe me, I want to enjoy a fabulous holiday dinner just like everyone else, but I don't want to slave away all day in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning, to do it.  I'd rather be watching the big game, making holiday crafts with my daughter and visiting with family and friends.  So is there a way to have your turkey and eat it too?  Yes, thanks to HoneyBaked's New Recipe Turkey Breast, the holidays can finally be enjoyed by all!
