Every year during Thanksgiving and Christmas, I have known cranberry sauce to be round and oblong in shape, with little ridges. Unless it is sliced, then I may not notice the ridges - the ridges being from the can it slid out of, of course.
I see bags of cranberries in the store and wonder to myself… what are those for? I searched through so many recipes.. mostly the same thing over and over. Most recipes contained cranberries, water and sugar. Simple enough… but I wondered about the flavor.
Then I found a recipe posted on allrecipes.com again with just 3 ingredients.. rather than water, it calls for orange juice.
Ingredients for Cranberry Sauce
12 oz package cranberries
1 cup white sugar (or, add another ingredient and do 1/2 white sugar, 1/2 brown sugar)
1 cup orange juice
Combine sugar and juice in pot over medium-high heat, stirring sugar until dissolved.
Stir in the cranberries, cooking about 10 minutes until the berries begin popping.
Remove from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

My girls love corn casserole. My mom always makes it for our gathering holidays - Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas and any other time it’s requested. I thought I’d buy the ingredients and give it a go for home this year. In searching for recipe, I came across both corn pudding and corn casserole.
Rather than try to decipher the two… I found a recipe for each that was basically the same. It only has 5 ingredients and sounds easy enough.
Ingredients:
1 can cream corn
1 can corn
8 oz container sour cream
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 8.5 oz package corn bread mix (Jiffy brand works well)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a casserole dish.
Mix all ingredients together and pour into baking dish.
Bake 40-45 minutes.
Remove from oven when a knife slides out mostly clean.
Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
We will be serving with turkey (but would also go well with pork, chicken, etc), stuffing, potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls and lots of good cheer and appetites!

A favorite casserole side dish especially around the holidays has always been green bean casserole. At least, in my family it is.
It’s a simple, easy recipe to make, too.
Ingredients:
2 15oz cans of green beans
1 can mushroom soup
1/2 c. milk
1 small can French’s French Onions (about 1 1/3 cups)
pepper to taste
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a square casserole dish mix mushroom soup and milk, until blended.
Drain green beans and add to casserole dish. Dash with pepper.
Mix in about 1 cup of the french fried onions.
Cook in oven about 45 minutes. Or until bubbling.
Remove from oven and top with remaining onions. Bake another 5 minutes.
Serve with meal (like Thanksgiving Dinner!) or, if you are like me and my daughter, dish it up alone and eat it up! Yummmy!
