#ad Brunch with my family during the holiday seaso

#ad Brunch with my family during the holiday season is always fun and festive. I make a variety of finger foods like these Sausage Cranberry Brie Bites and everyone loves them. These bites have the perfect balance of sweet cranberry sauce, salty Brie and savory @jimmydean pork sausage that I picked up from my local @samsclub. I love shopping at Sam’s Club especially during the holiday season because I can stock up on everything I need for my holiday recipes like the 2 pound roll of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage at an affordable price. #holidaybrunch #easyrecipes #brunchtime #holidayrecipes #holidaytreats #brunchgoals

My @levoitlifestyle Levoit VortexIQ 40 Cordless Stick Vacuum helps me take the stress out of the mess with it’s unique Auto-mode feature that uses an infrared sensor to the detect the amount of debris and adjusts the suction power for me. It’s lightweight, cordless, powerful and has a 4-stage HEPA filtration system that traps 99.99% of 0.3 micron particles including pollen, dust and pet dander.
