Thanksgiving is my jam and every year I have a hard time keeping my excitement contained. All the family + hours in the kitchen together + the very best food + games + perfect weather = PERFECTION. My husband calls me a holiday elf and I'm not arguing with that description.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I wanted to share one of my favorite go-to real food holiday recipes. This cranberry sauce is so deliciously tart - and the rosemary adds the perfect depth to the flavor. I love eating it on just about anything this time of year!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

*I made this in early November and couldn't find organic cranberries. I soaked mine in baking soda for 30 minutes and rinsed very well, which is one of the most effective ways to neutralize pesticides. I highly recommend doing this step if using conventional cranberries!
