Hi Cooking Moms, Dads & Friends,

Happy Friday! I hope your week was good! I was so excited to see gorgeous fresh cranberries at the grocery store. Here in Wisconsin, we might be known for our cheese and beer, but you might not know we are the top cranberry producer in the country. So, this month I'm going a little crazy for cranberries! You can do so much more with them besides making cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving!

If you are stuck in a recipe rut and looking for something new, you gotta try my Cranberry Chicken Bake. Just 4 ingredients. It sounds kind of crazy but it’s AMAZING! Trust me on this. It’s fantastic served over wild rice!

My Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Sauce and Rosemary is another winner! It's super quick and easy! I like to serve it with wild rice or better yet my Cranberry Almond Couscous. Couscous is so easy to make! And most kids love it too!

Need a new slow cooker recipe? My Apple Cranberry Pork Roast is a winner! Just throw it all in there and you’ll come to dinner done and one amazing smelling house. Click Slow Cooker for more of my favorite slow cooker recipes.

Need a quick, easy game day appetizer? You can't go wrong with my Cranberry Meatballs! Just dump all the ingredients in your slow cooker and sit back, relax and watch the game! Click Appetizers and Sandwiches for some delicious game day munchie and sandwich recipes.

For breakfast this weekend, pick up some fresh cranberries and a box of yellow cake mix to surprise your gang with my Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake. What a treat to wake up to!

My Baked Cranberry Orange Oatmeal is one of my favorites. Healthy and so delicious! Click Breakfast and Brunch and Nice ’n Light for more great recipes.

For dessert, my Cranberry Orange Cupcakes are a family FAVE! They're sure pretty with sugared cranberries on top!
