It's Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I think I love it because it's simple. The meal prep is not simple, of course, but the day is simple. Good food, family time, football, naps, sitting around talking, good food. It didn't take months to plan. There wasn't a ton of shopping. Sadly, there are other days in this week. Here is what else we are eating this week.
Sunday - Lasagna and Salad
This is the recipe my MIL made when she visited a few weeks ago.

I don't know how long I have been making this recipe. I still get a kick out of the cranberries popping open. (Again, it's the simple things in life.) I love it on my turkey and it's great for leftover sandwiches.
