Citrus Cranberry Sauce + Thanksgiving Freezing Tips

November 9, 2015 By Erin Kennedy Leave a Comment

Citrus Cranberry Sauce

I have to admit. I love using Hefty storage bags for my leftovers. I come from a family that had always used storage bags to store leftover food in our refrigerator or freezer. They allow my fridge and freezer to save on space, and also keeps my food fresh. I am a huge fan.

Using Hefty storage bags for Thanksgiving is an even better idea because there is usually a ton of food made for that special day, and if you have friends or family over, you have made a ton of food, which usually means, a lot leftover. Hefty storage bags are really essential for saving space in your fridge and freezer and keeping your leftovers fresh for those delicious turkey sandwiches or turkey dinner for the next few days.

I love the zip bag because it is so easy to close. I get so frustrated trying to see if those other bags are actually closed or not. There have been too many situations where food has leaked on my fridge shelves that is such a pain to clean!

Check out this fabulous infographic that give you a ton of prep ideas for your Turkey day foods with rules and tips for the best storage and how long your food will last in the fridge or freezer.

blue cheese puffs

I love movie night. Whether the hubs and I are going out for date night to see the latest film, or we stay home to relax to watch a great movie.

I am a snacker. Obviously popcorn at the movies, but when we stay home, I like to nosh a little too. Especially if we invite friends over for some relaxing but fun time movie night.

I love to offer some yummy appetizers, and if those appetizers come with cheese, then that is always a crown pleaser and of course, one of my all time favorite. Cheese, yes please.

Mini Cinnamon Apple Hand Pies

Mini Cinnamon Apple Hand Pies - home baked autumn goodness in the palm of your hand! | Get the recipe on MyCookingSpot.com!

It’s apple season!!! Yayyyy! McIntosh and Granny Smith and Honeycrisps, oh my!

One of the things on my bucket list is to visit an apple orchard and pick my own apples. My home state doesn’t have any, sadly (orange groves and strawberry patches for miles, though), but one of these days I’m gonna get to one, and then my only problems will be which apples to eat first, and how to get them all home!

Of course, whipping up a batch of these Mini Cinnamon Apple Hand Pies will be the first thing I do when I get them there! [Read more…]

These cooler days definitely call for comfort foods, and what better way to say comfort food than a little heavy cream? 😉 I love that when I add it to anything, the dish immediately becomes that much more decadent. This dish is so savory and delicious, I couldn’t stop sneaking bites while it was cooking and after before serving it to my family!

We have used this as a warm side salad, and even topped a pizza with it along with some sliced up sausages and cheese. I happen to think it would make an excellent side to your holiday dinners as well! Who’s excited about Thanksgiving?!
