Cranberry Surprise

We went to the Kilted Cook for lunch in December and we had a delicious roasted vegetable dish. I've been looking for cranberries to make it every time we went to the store. I knew fresh would be hard to find after the holidays but thought I would find frozen. Finally found them. I guessed at the herbs - turned out pretty good. Served it with salmon one night and chicken the next. 

The sweet roasted vegetables and the tart cranberries are a delicious combination.

Depends how small you chop veggies

The only points is for olive oil so it depends on how much you use.

Happy New Year

Whether we have a great year, where we will enjoy every moment making memories to hold in our hearts forever or if our year is filled with trying times we have to work very hard to get through, we all need moments of peace.

May we look at the way the sun hits the ice, or the slant of the sun as it sparkles off a silo, or how the sky is a pallette of unbelievably brilliant colors and take that moment to fill our hearts with peace and know we are loved and that God has filled this world with beauty to  give us a reminder to stop for a moment to calm our souls, and let the universe rejuvinate us.

Happy New Year!
