HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I hope yours was as yummy and cozy as mine!


The morning started off with coffee, Christmas music, a few snowflakes (!), and warm homemade Cranberry Nut Bread (highly recommend this recipe):


Ingredients:
1T Ground Flaxseed
3T Water
1/4 C Non-Dairy Butter, melted and cooled
1t Vanilla Extract
1C Orange Juice
1C Non-Dairy Milk
4C All-Purpose Flour
1C Sugar
4t Baking Powder
1/2t Salt
2t Orange or Lemon Zest
1 1/2C Whole Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1C Coarsely Chopped Walnuts


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.


In a small food processor or blender, whip together flaxseed and water until thick, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter, vanilla, orange juice and milk; blend until combined and set aside.


In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and zest. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and mix in the fruit and the nuts. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a thin skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let cool in loaf pan for 30 minutes before turning it over to cool on a wire rack.


So Yummy (and easy)!


Later in the day I headed over to Kyle and Steph's for Thanksgiving dinner...

Also yummy; I'm still full! Thankful for this relaxing day, a warm home (with cute pets!), a full tummy and amazing family.


And of course, YOU; Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving!


(...notice I'm not even mentioning the Texas vs. Texas A&M game...sad story.)
