I look forward to it all year. Rich does, too. We talk about how excited we’re going to be when they finally come around again. And how amazingly delicious they’ll taste. They’re one of the truly seasonal things still left, which serves as a reminder for me that food is not magically grown in the grocery store. I really appreciate them because I can’t have them just whenever. They’re not grown in greenhouses or in a foreign country or in California all year round. They only grace us with their presence for a few months out of the year.

I thought I might literally squeal and jump around in the grocery store tonight when I saw cranberries for the first time this season. Yup, I think they’re that good. And if you ever taste my Cranberry Crumb Bars, you’ll know why…maybe I’ll share the love and post the recipe one of these days.

Okay, so I promised you a sneak peak as well, right? Well today Sammi and I braved the mist and had a lot of fun traipsing around (she was really adventurous for being in a dress!). I can’t wait to show you the rest, but here are a couple!
