Today is Day 2 of the series: The Tastiest Thanksgiving Ever! I’m so excited that you’re back!
Yesterday we got two awesome recipes for Scalloped Corn and Tangy Green Beans! Did you miss that post? CLICK HERE to visit it!
And today things get even yummier! I’m so excited to share two absolutely delicious recipes with you! From the lovely Vee at Made Actually, we have a recipe for Cranberry Relish, and from the fabulous Carli at Livin’ the Mom Life, we have a recipe for CrockPot Sausage Stuffing. (OH YES!) So let’s dig in!
Cranberry Relish
Vee says: “This is delicious on Salmon, fish, all kinds of wraps, chicken…you name it, but especially with Thanksgiving dinner. If you are like me and don’t like to eat refined sugar, you can substitute raw sugar, turbinado, coconut sugar or even Xylitol. This recipe is very easy to make and if you want your house to smell like it really is a holiday, just start a batch of cranberry relish. It smells wonderful! For those squeamish about raisins, DON’T give it a second thought. My husband, who can’t stand raisins, totally loves this relish, in fact he requests it! I freeze cranberries when they are in season, so I can make it year round. It is excellent with many things other than turkey. My mom gave me this recipe, it has been in my family for many years and has become a tradition.”

Vee also sent me over some beautiful pictures! Here’s what your Cranberry Relish should look like:
Oh so yummy!
CrockPot Sausage Stuffing
Carli says: “Add broth as necessary. If you like your stuffing moist, add more broth. If you like your stuffing a bit more dry, 3 cups will probably be enough. Also, if you cook closer to 8 hours on low, you will probably need more broth. Check stuffing every couple of hours. Stir a few times. Also, check stuffing 1 hour prior to serving. If it is too moist, lay a dishtowel over the CrockPot, then replace the lid. The towel will absorb extra moisture. If making the night before, combine all ingredients in bowl or removable crock EXCEPT eggs, broth and olive oil. Put in fridge over night. Next day, put in CrockPot and add eggs, broth and olive oil. Cook on high for an hour if it has not been brought to room temperature before cooking.”

Hope you all enjoyed Day 2 of The Tastiest Thanksgiving Ever! More to come tomorrow!
Another set of lovely recipes. The sausage sounds too delish!
I know! And in the Crock Pot, no less!
I would have never thought to make stuffing in a crock pot! Great idea!
I know it! Me either!
Wow!! Clipping! Sounds delicious!
Hope you enjoy, Michelle!
I will have to try this recipe out
Please do, Liz! Let us know what you think!
I am going to try the recipe for cranberry relish, but I will make mine without sugar. Not sure what I will use yet as a sugar replacement. Thanks for the recipe.
I’m sure it will be tasty no matter what you use, Terry!
Terry, try using Xylitol for sweetener. I know it has a super low glycemic factor, but not sure about how the candida would react. Might be worth checking out.
These both sound delicious! I want to try them both. I know I’ll like the cranberry relish but hubby would love the sausage stuffing. 🙂
Oh yes! Anything with pork the husbands seem to appreciate LOL
Yay! Thanks for using my Crockpot stuffing recipe! I don’t think I mentioned it before, but I hated stuffing as a kid. Too dry to too soggy. I avoided it for years until I hosted my first thanksgiving. I was 8 months pregnant and looked for crockpot recipes for everything! Figured I should try the stuffing since I made it and it knocked my socks off. Perfect consistency! Now it is one of my favorite things to eat and we make it “just because” all winter long!
Thanks for submitting, Carli! So glad your views on stuffing have changed LOL (I always thought that was one of the best parts of Thanksgiving!)
This got me so excited for the upcoming holiday! I just bookmarked this to make for my own celebration.
Oh, good, Monica, I’m glad someone else is excited along with me LOL
Both look great, but I am a sucker for fresh cranberry sauce I am intrigued with the pineapple in it. I might have to try this before turkey day! It might be a mix between my cranberry sauce and my grandmothers pineapple sauce…happy times a comin’!
I know, I liked the idea of the pineapple in there, too! Hope you enjoy it!
Oh my gosh, you are making me wish Thanksgiving were here already! Cranberry relish sounds so good! Never had it before, but may have to add that to the line up this year!
I know! I thought it was pretty unique!
I just pinned that stuffing to my Fall board. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you, Rosey!
Wow, both of these recipes sound scrumptious! I’m printing them both. Loving this series! I think that Cranberry Relish will be a big hit with my family.
Fantastic! Glad you’re enjoying the series, Shirley!
If I just made the dishes you are posting here it would be a glorious Thanksgiving spread! YUMMY! They both sound tasty but also easy to make, which is my favorite.
Yes, I’m a big fan of tasty and easy, too! 🙂
OK I’m getting my crock-pot ready for TG!! Cool! I love your series 🙂 ~Renee
Thanks, Renee! I love being able to use the CrockPot for Thanksgiving! Crazy!
I’m not a raisin person, but I have to admit, the relish sounds good. And I can imagine the lovely aroma wafting through the house… I’m so excited for the holidays. I’ve never done stuffing in a crock pot before…interesting idea. I always stuff the turkey and also bake some stuffing separately. Using the crock could free up some of my oven space. Thanks for the wonderful recipes! 🙂

Yes, I’m a fan of free oven space. I’ve been pulling for a double-oven for a while now…but none yet!
I HAVE a double oven! But at Thanksgiving, we still seem to battle for space… LOL
Well, that makes me feel better LOL
I’ve never made cranberry because I don’t like it. But my husband does and this recipe looks very easy! I may have to give it a try.
You should! Hope you enjoy!
Possibly just died and went to heaven. Come cook for me!
HA! You are so funny 🙂 You should just come over for Thanksgiving, that’s all there is to it 🙂
These look so yummy! I am loving this week more and more!
It’s really a lot of fun, Jill!
This is such a neat idea. Sharing with recipes with your online friends is great and I really like your blog.
Thanks, Eric!

Is it really 12 cups of dressing, or the 12oz bag? Or…I’m I just silly, and that’s the same thing once I measure it out?
I’m pretty sure it’s 12 cups. Think about how big your CrockPot is, ya know? Gotta fill that sucker! 🙂
