Cranberry Nut Loaf

COUNTDOWN TO THANKSGIVING

We're one week out from Turkey Day, which used to be Grammy's main event. You're going to have to figure out how to roast a turkey on your own, because she didn't have a written recipe for that. She must have memorized it.

In the mean time, this would be nice to have on the table.
