Cooking your oatmeal takes three more minutes…max…and so worth it. I stirred in a pinch of Vanilla Salt and about 1/4 cup of Silk Pure Almond (unsweetened Vanilla) then added a few generous spoons of my homemade cranberry compote. It’s the healthy beginning of a yummy day!
My Canadian friends and neighbors to the west and north are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend. Blessings to you all!

Have a yummy holiday!
I love everything about Thanksgiving. I love the planning. I love having my son home. I love setting my table. I love making turkey stock.
I love cranberries, especially my homemade cranberry compote. I love stuffing. I love mashed potatoes. I love pie. I love that it is a holiday without gifts. I love the smell in my house. I love homemade anything.
And, I love leftovers.
Ask anyone who spends days preparing a meal and they will likely tell you the cook barely tastes anything that day. Friday, even before anyone else rises I have already had a piece of dark meat, a scoop of cold dressing and a slice of chocolate pie. I have been known to hide a piece on Thanksgiving for my coffee time in the morning. Yum!
On Friday, give my turkey sandwich a try:
Easy Family Size Turkey Sandwich
One loaf flat Ciabatta Bread or Unsliced Italian Bread
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
Leftover Turkey
Leftover Cranberry Compote*
Slice bread in half and put cut side up under broiler until lightly toasted
Brush Extra Virgin Olive Oil and rub garlic over bread.
Spread a layer of cranberry compote then turkey onto bread. Press down. Slice the bread into two-to-three-inch pieces. Variation: layer slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top

Today and every day I am thankful for my husband, son and family who love me, a home to share with those I love and the freedom to do as I please.
I am also thankful for Tim and Dawn Schmitt who have given me the opportunity to chat with you each Thursday.
