It snowed. Cranberry Sauce Recipe.

Well, we finally got some real snow, it wasn't the first snow, but it was the first to stick around and cause a lot of problems.

I had something in mind to blog about, but I forgot.  Which isn't a surprise, with my prego brain I can't seem to remember anything. I have some in laws coming for thanksgiving dinner, so I am a bit stressed that way.  I am sure it will work out fine, but I have a long list of things to clean and cook, and not much time or energy to do it all.  I am going to focus on the sides first. Make some ahead of time. Like the cranberry sauce, if you have never made any you really should.  It kicks the canned stuff to the curb. Tt is so easy; bag of cranberries, a cup of liquid, and a cup of sugar, then you boil until the berries burst, which is 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your stove and where you live.  I always add some seasonings, like maybe a bit of cinnamon, or a touch of cayenne, with some of the liquid being juice, from either lemons, or oranges, and add a bit of zest from either as well.  So as you can see it is really easy, and not too expensive and the taste is way better.  Plus you can customize it as well, I know some people even put jalapeno's in theirs. 

I was also going to make rolls ahead of time, and the one pie I was going to make.  I was going to take it really easy, I am cooking a roast and a breast in crock pots.  Much easier than the oven, and much juicier.  I guess I don't have too much to worry about.

I still haven't decided what to do about getting help. I wish I had more energy, more desire and more drive, maybe that is related to being pregnant, maybe it isn't.  Why am I putting this off?  Why do I not want to admit defeat?  Why does the thought of seeing someone make me blue?
