Just really obsessed with this color 😍 #recipe

Just really obsessed with this color 😍 #recipeHow's everyone else's Thanksgiving prep going? Are you hosting? We are, though I don't know for sure how many people are coming – it looks like it's in the range of 13-17, though. No matter what, we'll be covered with the 24lb bird we picked up from @bluebirdmeadowsfarms this weekend. Now the thing I'm worried about is having enough silverware!I officially started prep yesterday with cleaning, brining the turkey, and this gorgeous cranberry sauce. I used to be an inveterate sauce hater, back when all I'd ever had was the jiggly stuff from the can. Now, I make double batches so I can have cranberry sauce on everything – pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, brie grilled cheese(!!) – for weeks.If you're still finalizing your menu, try my simple method and convert the cranberry sauce haters in your life –1 bag cranberries (12-16 oz)
1/2 c sweetener of your choice (I do maple syrup)
1/2 c apple cider (could sub with water, but up the sweetener content in that case)
Zest and juice of one orange (opt for organic if you can since you're using the zest)
Optional: some grated fresh ginger or spices like cinnamon, clove, nutmegCombine everything in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until desired consistency is reached. For a chunkier sauce, 10-15 minutes. I went more like 20-25.Now put that s*** on everything!#cranberrysauce #thanksgiving #fromscratch #traditionalfood #traditionalcooking #urbanhomestead #seasonaleating #seasonalfood #localfoodmovement #cranberrysaucerecipe #thanksgivingrecipe

These brassica seedlnigs are strong and hardy plan

These brassica seedlnigs are strong and hardy plants ready for winter now, but I'm already planning for next spring's seedlings.I'm working on witing up my review of this past season – what I'd definitely grow again and what's out. I'm contemplating growing an entirely different set of tomatoes. With only the two beds in my city backyard, I can only grow so much, and I have so! many! varieties! I want to try.What made the cut for you? What did you grow this year that will definitely be in next year's garden, and what didn't impress?#garden #gardenersofinstagram #gardenersofig #urbangarden #urbanhomestead #urbanhomesteading #progressivehomesteader #homesteadersofohio #backyardgarden #raisedgardenbeds #organicgardening #beginnergardener #zone6 #zone6a #growfoodnotlawns #seedlings #seedstarting

“November is usually such a disagreeable month..

“November is usually such a disagreeable month...as if the year had suddenly found out that she was growing old and could do nothing but weep and fret over it. This year is growing old gracefully." – Anne of AvonleaThe giant maple in my yard continues to share its gifts.I spent most of the spring and summer digging its tenacious little seedlings out of my garden beds. I’ve tracked the seasons with this tree, and now it’s dropping its last fiery leaves before a winter’s sleep.And come spring again...maybe we'll tap it for syrup.#ohio #ohiogram #mapletree #mapleleaves #autumn #urbanhomestead
