B4BC Team Rider and Tasty Tuesdays Guest Chef Elena Hight is back just in time for Thanksgiving with an amazing recipe for us using tart and tasty cranberries! Cranberries are a great source of vitamin C, fiber, and full of antioxidant power with flavonoids. And don’t forget to go ORGANIC!
A note from Elena:
Happy Holidays! With Thanksgiving being this week I wanted to share with you one of my favorite holiday dishes. I absolutely love homemade cranberry sauce. I believe that the holidays just wouldn’t be complete without a healthy helping of cranberry sauce, and perhaps seconds as well! If there is one thing on the Thanksgiving table that I am always thankful for it is the cranberry sauce.
I hope that this Thanksgiving gives you the chance to spend time with loved ones and reflect on everything you are thankful for. Enjoy!
