Look up. Notice anything different? I have my own domain!! As an early Christmas present, my husband bought me http://dinnersdishesanddesserts.com! I have been hard at work trying to learn how things work and transfer everything from blogger to here. Somethings are giving me trouble (comments transferring), so it is still a work in progress. If you subscribed via email before, I think you will have to do that again to still receive notifications.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! We had a great time just the 3 of us over the long weekend. On Saturday we drove up into the mountains, and practiced our snowshoeing. It was a little windy, but it was fun. My 6 year old didn’t want to take them off, he was having so much fun! He also wants to learn how to ski, so I think we will have a busy winter.
My 6 year old came home from school last week with a “secret” recipe for The Best Cranberry Bread. He was adamant that we make it for Thanksgiving. I am honestly not sure that I have ever even tried a cranberry, so I was up for trying something new. Wednesday morning we went to the store first thing to get what we needed, and baked this bread. I LOVED it, but my son was on the fence. Tomorrow we are making muffins with the rest of our cranberries, so stay tuned for that.
Cranberry Bread

Congrats on the domain
And the bread sounds delicious, even though I’m not really a fan of cranberries.
This was my first taste of a cranberry, and in bread with lots of sugar – yum!

Congrats on the new domain name and the new look! It is a bit of a pain to switch and get used to it, but once you do it is SO worth every minute of it. If you need a little help adjusting, you might check out BloggingwithAmy.com. I was on that site 5 times a day when I was switching over from Blogger to WordPress. She has all kinds of great tips and videos detailing instructions. And shes pretty good about answering quick questions on Facebook as well.
Thanks Jen! I will have to check that out, because I have a few things I still want to tweak, but can’t figure out!

Congrats on the new site Erin. Your site looks fantastic. I’m embarrassed to say I bought my domain too about a month ago and I have messed it up somehow and I’m still trying to fix it. The bread looks fantastic.
Ramona – it is tricky!! Lucky my husband is a computer guy and helped some! But even then I can’t get all of my old comments to transfer

As for the bread, you’d really never had cranberries before!? I’m glad to hear you liked them. Cranberries are one of those seasonal treats I look forward to all year. Your bread looks fantastic
I have had a Craisin before, but that is it!! I am still on the fence about them, but this bread was really good!
