Cranberry Sauce (Refined-sugar free)

Just a tiny note here to be a bit thankful for the wonderful people in my life.  Family and friends are truly what keeps us strong and happy.  I feel so blessed to have such amazing support surround me.  To the many wonderful people in my life, near and far, close and acquaintance, family and friends, thank you.  You have helped shape a life for myself that is both happy, healthy, and full of love and smiles. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I want to hug you all and tell you how amazing you are.  I hope you are enjoying a cozy thanksgiving weekend and know how appreciated you are. 

We all have so much to be thankful for.  Take a moment to cherish the love and laughter you have in your life.  Give the ones you couldn't live without an extra special squeeze and a smile to show your love and appreciation.  


Happy Thanksgiving all!
