Cranberries

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the holiday preparation.

Here's a great cranberry recipe:

Crimson Slaw

1/2 head red cabbage, shredded
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
3 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
6 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

Halloween for Hunger

It's that time of year again!

On Halloween, our children trick or treat for donations of canned food items to give to the local food bank.

Last year they collected over 200 pounds of food!
