homemade cranberry sauce. 

a lot of people don't realize there's anything besides canned cranberry sauce. 

and i'm sure there's no difference in taste, but since i could help my mom cook, that was my first responsibility for thanksgiving. so i'm sticking with it.

happy eating. and be thankful for all that you're blessed with :)
