Well I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had a quiet and relaxing weekend. I didn't even attempt to pull all the Christmas decoration out of storage. Like many others I ate way too much turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie. I love Thanksgiving and the food that goes along with this special holiday. But by about the third day I was feeling like that stuffed turkey. I made turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, and turkey hash (recipes will be coming soon). I had to do a juice cleanse for a few days to feel normal again, I couldn't even look at another piece of turkey this week. My kids were tired of eating it too. So last night I decided to make something fresh and tasty. I love, love lemon! Lemon cake, lemon cookies, lemonade, you get the idea . . . and lemon and cranberries together are a match made in heaven. Especially once you sugar those tart and tasty cranberries. This is an easy recipe that you will be sure to enjoy. I doctored up a boxed cake mix with fresh lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. And for New Mexico's high altitude I always add one extra teaspoon of baking powder. It seems to make all the difference when baking at high altitude (Albuquerque is a mile high). This Lemon Bundt Cake with Candied Cranberries is the perfect dessert for the holidays ahead. Until next time - Bon Appetit, Cecelia
