Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving! My Favorite Holiday! This year was no exception our home filled with family, friends, and yummy food. The turkeys were perfect, the stuffing superb, gravy and potatoes to die for, and my favorite cranberry relish was as always the star of the show.



Cranberry Relish

2 pounds fresh cranberries

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup Grand Marnier or Triple Sec

1 orange zested and juiced

Place all ingredients into the bowl of a food processor, pulse several times to break down the cranberries and incorporate the ingredients. Refrigerate overnight.

Halloween

Halloween this year was fun the kids all carved pumpkins the night before. Noah and Erika both used knifes for the first time, so it was an extra adventure. Erika fell down while we were out in the nieghborhood, so we had to make an emergency run home for band-aids. Josh wasn't feeling well; he insisted on passing out the candy.
