Move over pumpkin, cranberry season is here!

No other fruit says the holidays to me more than cranberries. 

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Have you got your menu planned?

I feel like I’m further behind than usual this year. 

I always like to do a mixture of classic dishes that everyone loves and expects year after year like my Vegan Thanksgiving Wellington and Sourdough Stuffing Muffins but then I also like to throw in something completely new or put a twist on an old favorite.

These Cranberry Puff Pastry Shells are a tasty way to enjoy the classic flavor combination of orange and cranberries in a fun, new way.
