Homemade Spiced Apple Cider

homemade spiced cider

For a girl who lives in San Diego, it’s a bit tricky to create a cozy, chilly Winter afternoon.  I mean, the low here hovers around 50 degrees, so there’s not a lot of opportunity to burrow under an afghan and sip a hot drink.  So you’d better believe I’ll take advantage of any crisp breeze that passes by.  I spent almost a decade in the mountains, and then spent another near decade in the Midwest, so there’s a part {Read More}

Citrus Ginger Cranberry Sauce

cranberry sauce

    I absolutely love cranberry sauce!  I love it on my Thanksgiving plate, slathered on post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches, and on top of pumpkin ice cream.  So delicious!  I love the super tartness of cranberries, not the sickly sweet version that comes in cans.  Not to mention, my version doesn’t contain any high fructose corn syrup!  This recipe takes under five minutes to make start-to-finish and you can easily adjust the sweetness and flavors. Happy Thanksgiving! Print Citrus Ginger Cranberry {Read More}

Thin Mint Cake-picmonkey
