Free Book! Free Recipe! Free Time?
by Bethany Maines
Ok, it’s the day before Thanksgiving and that means that you
are either baking like a mad fiend or you’re kicking back while someone else
bakes and wishing that you could be done with work so you could go home and get
your holiday on. My mom does the
hosting for Thanksgiving and that means I skate by making the easy stuff like
cookies, pies, and the cranberry sauce.
Only I make cranberry relish because it’s easier, and far, far tastier
than the gelatinous glop that comes out of a can. (See below for the recipe!)
Hopefully, you’re in a similar position when it comes to the
holiday cooking and you’ll have a little free time to read something new this
weekend. And because I’m feeling ever so thankful for readers like you, the first
5 people to comment get a free e-book version of my short story collection
Tales from the City of Destiny. I will also be drawing one name after the five
person cut off, so leave a comment no matter what, and then hop over to the
Girlfriends Book Club for a second chance to win on my second blog of the day! I will contact all winners by Friday 11/27.

Cranberry Relish:
- 1 bag cranberries (the bags usually have holes, so a quick
tip is to rinse them while they’re still in the bag and let the water drain
out) - 1 orange (don’t forget to remove the sticker)
- 1 cup white sugar (use less or more depending on taste)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon
Directions: Rinse everything. Chop orange in quarters. Put orange and cranberries into food processor and
chop. Add cup of sugar. Chop until everything is of relish
consistency. Put in bowl. Pretend you slaved for hours. Eat.

I'm in charge of pecan pie. I'm going to make this recipe so I look like a rock star!
Mmmmm… pecan pie! We make my aunt from Virginia make the pecan pie. It tastes better from an actual southerner. 😉 Email me at carriemae.agent@gmail.com to collect your free e-book!

Don't forget to remove the sticker, ha ha ha. Would be funny except I forget most of the time! We always had those canned cranberries – didn't realize what I was missing!
