Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
Today I’m really excited to present this recipe featuring one of my favorite cookies: Oreos. I got the idea for this Oreo Icebox Cake from this recipe for Chips Ahoy Icebox Cake by Spend with Pennies. I made a few tweaks, including the use of pudding, and all in all, it made a pretty tasty (and super easy!) dessert. Hope you like it! [Read more…]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Arby’s for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Arby's is one of my favorite fast food places. They have so many great sandwiches, appetizers, and other great selections. Have you guys heard of the new Arby's Smokehouse Brisket? It is their latest sandwich creation. Doesn't the picture look delicious? Here is the television commercial that features the new sandwich. Check it out!
I was really excited when I first saw the commericial for this sandwich. My guy loves brisket sandwiches, and in the past he hass gotten them at our local barbeque place, but lately they have been sub par. So I am really excited to say that there's a new brisket expert in town, and it is Arby's! And I can not wait to go by Arby's one day and pick up one of Arby's Smokehouse Brisket.
Let me tell you about it. The secret to delicious smoked meat is to smoke it low and slow. Keeping this in mind, the Arby's brisket is slowly smoked for 13 hours, the way great meat should be! And even though it is slowly smoked, it is always ready when you are.
The sandwich is piled high with the slowly smoked brisket and then topped with smoked Gouda cheese, crispy onions, barbeque sauce, and mayo and then served on a bakery style bun.
Doesn't it sound delicious? And like Arby's other sandwiches, you can get the Smoked Brisket in a combo with Arby's delicious curly fries and a drink. Or try it perhaps with one of Arby's great appetizers, like their cheesesticks or cheddar peppers. And you could end the meal with one of their premium desserts, like their chocolate lava cakes or one of their yummy milkshakes.
Find an Arby’s near you and go try tthe new Smokehouse Brisket sandwich! Have you tried it already? Leave a comment telling me how you liked it, or if you have not tried the sandwich yet, leave a comment telling me why you are excited to try it!

And you can get everything from party banners and table decor to cupcake toppers, candy & bottle wrappers, and other fun favors!
