If people knew just how easy it is to make homemade
Cranberry Sauce, nobody would ever buy the stuff in a can. Truly, it's that easy. This cranberry sauce recipe has just four ingredients and just three steps. How hard can it be? And there is nothing better to go with

Tis the season for baking, and that means Christmas cookies! Don't want to bake tons of Christmas cookies yourself? No problem. Just
Host a Cookie Exchange Party. You'll only have to bake one kind of cookie (to share with your friends) and you'll get lots of different cookies in return (to share with your family). It's a lot of fun, and some cookie exchange parties also include prizes. Others just share recipes or get together to nibble and socialize. The choice is yours.
