    Jodi, I love these ideas. You are the best and have the most amazing recipes and blog posts! I just printed off the cranberry salad to try. We like to have a little sweet side dish option and this looks like one all the teenage boys will love–and me! I made the cream cheese pie one Easter. Thanks for reminding me about it. I am going to make this again for Thanksgiving. So yummy. Wishing you and your cute family a great Thanksgiving!

      Hi Teresa! You are so sweet, thank you! You will love this cranberry salad! When I got married and had my first Thanksgiving with my husband’s family, I had to make this salad and take it because it’s not Thanksgiving without it. Well, I got all my husband’s family hooked on it. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving❤️. Thank you again for your kind words, you made my day.
