Flavor of the Month: Cranberry

I usually am a huge pumpkin fan at this time of year. However, I seem to have had a change of heart this year...I'm in love with cranberries! Dried cranberries in my salad, added to quinoa, cranberry tea, cranberry muffin scentsy bars, etc. Last week I made my absolute favorite cranberry sauce for our Thanksgiving dinner. Our family loves it.

Thanksgiving 2012

Our Thanksgiving was filled to the brim...I worked in the morning & left Russell in charge of the pie in the oven. Since it was 'apple', he didn't forget about it! The weather was undeniably wonderful...the kids did crafts outside, flew "Uncle" Bryan's hovercraft with his i-pad, blew/chased bubbles, played frisbees & had a grand time. It was extra special to have the workers with us too. We each wrote down something we were thankful for & then Talus read each one out loud. It was such a good reminder of all the blessings we enjoy. Now to carry that spirit of thankfulness throughout the coming days...
