Hello readers! Kristin from Marie Callender’s® here… I am excited to be writing for Brittany today! Let me tell you more about myself. I live in the great city of Chicago with my Bichon Frise, Joey. When I am not indulging in one of my many shows on Netflix or out with friends in the city, I am cooking or baking one of my recipes or something new from Pinterest.
I don’t know if it’s me or all the red Starbucks cups… but after Halloween, my mind changes gears and goes into “holiday mode.” And you know what the holidays mean: family, friends and (of course) food. Nothing gets me more excited for spending time with family than enjoying amazing food at the table. For this time of the year, I have a very easy cranberry pie recipe for you. I like to make two pies for Thanksgiving—can you believe it that some people don’t like pumpkin pie? Well, I’ve made cranberry pie in the past and my dinner guests loved it! Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Happy baking!
