Some recipe post are just too delicious and perfect for the season to not repost. This year we are headed to Hailey and Will’s house this year. Bet we have this dish!! It’s a new tradition.
consider autumn and thanksgiving
Fires take the chill out of the evening air. Display bins in the markets overflow with colorful squashes and vibrant greens.
Who loves the autumn season? Me!
Love it when the weather turns cooler, finally! Love when the Thanksgiving season comes.
remembering Thanksgiving past
It was 2016. We had Thanksgiving Day feast with friends. We took a ham loaf, a Lancaster speciality and coconut custard pie by Meg. Check out that recipe here. Robert and Jessica came up for the weekend. So did Will and his girlfriend, Hailey. They are married now. It was Amy’s 18th birthday.
Adding a new favorite
What can I add to our usual meals to perk them up, make them more appetizing and appealing? Usually, it starts looking on-line at favorite blogs with recipes I like and being a visual kind of gal, at the vegetable section of the grocery store.
That year, Hailey brought us a new recipe. She and Will made to together. It was the first of many delicious offerings we have enjoyed from them!
And it was delicious!!
A new favorite.

I’ve wanted to find a way to cook brussel sprouts and your recipe for the balsamic glaze sounds terrific! I can’t wait to try it out!! Thank you!
Hopefully, it will be a dish everyone enjoys!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe on Whimsy Home Wednesday Linda! I love brussel sprouts so I think I need to try this one. I would not have thought to put cranberries with them! My go to for them is usually garlic, but cranberries would offer a bit of sweet. Thank you for sharing. I love learning new recipes through blogs too.
