so every other thanksgiving i can recall, i remember eating WAY too much food and feeling so extremely horrendous the rest of the day , but still manage to shovel in another helping two hours later and sample every dessert on the card table. yikes! i hate that feeling when you feel like you are going to burst! but this year was different. i had eaten a good snack a couple hours before dinner was going to start so that i wouldnt be starving and be tempted to chow down. and i succeeded. i only had one helping of everything and of course saved room for a slice of pie. or two(= and whip cream naturally (=

i was very excited about this cranberry sauce recipe i had found last week. i have never even liked cranberry sauce at any occasion, but for some reason i thought i would like to attempt to make this one. it turned out so good! here is the link for the recipe if you are interested. and i bought a chocolate torte from trader joes last week that is absolutely fantastic.... you must purchase this cake for a party! and some sparkling blueberry juice to wash down dinner... really was great!
