Cranberry Pear Sauce
Colorful and delicious Cranberry Pear Sauce will be a hit this holiday season! It is super quick and easy to make with no refined sugar. Its sweetness comes naturally from ripe pears and a touch of real maple syrup. It is a superb accompaniment to turkey and other poultry as well, as pork tenderloin or pork roast. Once you try this recipe, you’ll never look at store-bought cranberry sauce the same. What kind of pear to use?

Rocky the Rescue Cat has a new hobby. He has taken to sitting on the arm of Wheels' chair in the evening to watch tv.

Working outside in beautiful sunshine and completing some painting projects that are set up in the garage. The wind cancelled plans to enjoy a walk in the woods. Great Plains "woods" do not compare to the extensive Ohio woods that often retain their beautiful fall foliage for many days. Here the wooded areas have trees that number in the dozens; leaves turn and are blown away sometimes the same day. But we get the gorgeous blue and ever changing sky that stretches to the horizon in every direction. Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!
