Here's the cranberry stuff I make. I hate to grind the cranberries and didn't like to make cranberry salad until years ago I went to a family dinner and my cousin's mother in law made this.....I've made it ever since. I forgot until just now that I usually make this....duh!
Cranberry Salad
Boil 2 cups cleaned cranberries and 1 cup sugar in 1 1/2 cups water until cranberries pop open. Remove from heat and add a 3 oz box of cherry jello, stirring until jello is dissolved. Pour into a casserole dish. Cool for about 15 minutes (until it starts to thicken a bit) and add a 20 oz can completely drained crushed pineapple; 1/4 to 1/2 cup finely chopped celery; and about 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Chill until completely set.
I look forward to this as much as anything on Thanksgiving day! Believe me .....try it and you'll love it!

Similar to my mom's recipe but no rice, however I might try this one for dinner next week because who doesn't love broccoli, cheese and rice?
Roasted root vegetables:
1 lb baby carrots
1 large onion chopped
5 cloves garlic cut in half
1 butternut squash peeled and cubed or you can buy it already cut up fresh.
3 parsnips peeled and cubed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Cut all the vegetable about the same size except for the carrots, leave them whole. Cut up the onion is medium sized chunks, cut garlic cloves in half. Place on a baking sheet sprinkle salt and pepper and olive oil and rosemay sprigs. Toss veggies with your hands. Place in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. After the first 20 minutes check the veggies and mix them with a spatula or slotted spoon. Veggies will be sweet and carmelized.
