Happiness is Homemade Christmas Season Favorites

December is here and the chill is finally in the air here. It actually rained this week... and shorted out my outdoor Christmas lights, ha ha! That's okay, the hour of troubleshooting was definitely worth the much needed precipitation.

I'm keeping it short today because I have a tree to decorate. This week's posts from yours truly include: No Sugar Added Cranberry Apple Compote (be sure to grab some extra cranberries and freeze them so they'll be on hand for all of the fresh cranberry recipes I have on that page) plus I have oodles of tips to save money and the planet with your Christmas celebrations this year.
