Typically, our family waits until after Thanksgiving to put up our Christmas decorations. But when King of Christmas reached out to me in June about a potential partnership, I couldn’t resist the chance to showcase their stunning selection of artificial Christmas trees , wreaths, and garlands . I was excited to get an early start on making our home holiday-ready this year!

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, folks everywhere are planning their menus and stocking up their pantries with their must-have ingredients to avoid a holiday feast catastrophe only hours before their dinner guests are due to arrive.

One of the staples of a Thanksgiving meal seems to be cranberry sauce, so I thought the focus of this week's Featured Friday post should be recipes that call for cranberries. Given that I'm allergic to them (I still can't believe it), cranberry recipes on Taste As You Go are non-existent. Thank goodness I'm part of a brilliant food blogger community whose members are more than willing to share their recipes.

So, when it comes to cranberry sauce on your Thanksgiving table, which do you prefer: jellied cranberry sauce or whole cranberry sauce?
