As promised, I am going to start sharing some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes with y’all here on the blog! Keep following me on Instagram as well for even more Thanksgiving recipes! Stay tuned here as well as I will be posting many more on here too!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by far! Every year my mom and I start cooking on Tuesday to prepare for our massive feast. We usually have about 30 guests come and we make EVERYTHING from scratch!
Growing up my mom’s homemade cranberry sauce became pretty famous at my school. Every year she’d give a big jar of it to all my teachers and they were so disappointed when I graduated and they had to go back to eating the canned crap again.
So to save your families from having to suffer through that canned jiggly stuff, I am sharing my mom’s cranberry sauce recipe with y’all today! Keep reading for Thanksgiving look inspo too!
