What to Wear To Thanksgiving

What to Wear To Thanksgiving

So if you know our families you know we dress up. Here is a similar look to what I plan to wear to an Oyster Roast, Thanksgiving lunch (and dinner) for that matter. One Thanksgiving meal in a day is for quitters! Wish me luck. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am so thankful for all my family and friends as well as the joy of being together for the holidays.

Cranberry Salsa


Recently I was looking for a yummy fall hors d'oeuvres and came across a recipe for cranberry salsa. The reviews were fabulous so I decided to give it a try and tweaked the recipe a bit. Do yourself a favor and make this recipe. You will blow your family's mind at Thanksgiving. Plus, it makes a delicious relish for leftover turkey sandwiches. Here is my version:

Cranberry Salsa:
1 bag of cranberries, rinsed
1 navel orange, (zest beforehand) and chopped
1 1/2 T. crystallized ginger (coarsely chopped)
2 jalapeno peppers (seeded and chopped)
3/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2-3/4 cup sugar to taste 


Chop (finely) the cranberries in the food processor. Remove to a bowl. Put all the other pre-chopped ingredients into the food processor with the sugar. Once blended mix all in the bowl. Chill for at least two hours. Enjoy with tortilla chips.
