| Homemade Cranberry relish
Once you make this, you will never eat the canned stuff again! And it is soooooo... easy!
1 cup water
1 lb. fresh cranberries washed
1/2 cup of orange juice
1 cup of sugar - you could probably use splenda
Bring water to a simmer. Add rest of ingredients & stir til cranberries begin to pop & sugar is dissolved, about 15 minutes. Cool & serve. | |

| Thanks so much...I have a couple picked out for dinner this week.
Here is one that was giving to me by a friend....I was going to make it this weekend for lunches next week...
Black Bean Soup:
3 cans Black Beans
2 can of Mexican flavored tomatoes
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of chicken broth
Dump all into a crock pot and put it on low...for 5-8 hours.
You can added some shredded cheese to the top of your bowl or even add some sour cream.
