Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
It is a snowy but sunny day here in my part of the country. Today is a day of rest and catching up on things around the house for the most part. Working in retail makes this holiday difficult to do anything but. I have two long days ahead of me, but I am doing a few festive things to make it feel like a holiday. I decorated the kitchen table with a small arrangement and I put out a nice cinnamony smelling potpourri. I have baked a pumpkin pie that looks fabulous if I must say so myself. My husband and I will have a turkey dinner of smaller proportions, but still Thanksgiving feeling to us. I have also made my cranberry-apple compote. This is a simple and easy recipe that beats the can stuff anyday. This is a great addition to a meal anytime of year and it is terrific with pork as well. Enjoy!
