If you’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce because you thought it was too complicated to make, I am going to show you just how easy it is. Not only is this recipe easy, it is amazing! I love this sauce because it is not overly sweet and the combination of cranberry and orange give it a nice tang. The color of the sauce itself is so vibrant compared to its canned counterpart -one cannot even put them in the same category.
Trust me after you try this sauce, you will never ever buy canned again. Be prepared when friends and family “Ooooh and Awwww” over the mere fact you made homemade cranberry sauce. They will call you “Martha” and hate you for it. But that’s okay.. you’re secret is safe with me – I won’t tell how you didn’t slave over making this. In all honesty, if the world only knew how flippin’ easy this was.. no one would ever buy canned again! [click to continue…]

When I returned, guess who I found picking away at my cranberry apple crisp!?! BUSTED! Honestly it was the funniest and sweetest Kodak moment. I started laughing and started taking pictures of the whole thing. Who could blame the little guy because what is Fall without a great recipe for apple crisp?
Earlier this week my friend Jen had tweeted about making a cranberry apple crisp with dried cranberries. I mentioned to her that I’ve used canned cranberries with great success.

Every time I make one it’s always a hit at family gatherings. Now days instead of a can of cranberries, I use fresh cranberries which have been reduced with orange juice and sugar.

Last week Amazing Taste Seasoning sent me a box of seasonings to enjoy and review. Since receiving them we’ve tried the “Malibu” seasoning, but when I grilled those last week I was being intentional about using them. Last night was a whole different ball game.
Typically when I wait to the last minute to cook, I will season meat with salt and pepper. But last night I remembered reading on the back of the Amazing Taste packet that you only needed to marinade the chicken for 5 minutes. [click to continue…]
