Tradition is very important to us. Hubby and I have many traditions that we have continued. In addition to watching a vast library of Christmas movies, we have traditions of decorating, celebrating, shopping, and of course culinary specials. Our families have come to look forward to these festive treats. It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's without these special delicacies.
One of my most favorite recipes came from my Grandma, Paula Clyde Montgomery. My grandma would prepare Cranberry Fluff every year and my family would travel to West Virginia to share the thanksgiving feast with our extended family. Grandma passed this traditional recipe on to my Mom, who passed it on to me. I have in turn passed it on to my Son. Without our treasured traditions, our holidays would not be the same.
Cranberry Fluff is so simple to make and has that melt in the mouth kind of goodness that keeps you looking forward to it every year. This Thanksgiving, we share our recipe with you. After all, what would a Thanksgiving blog be without food. Happy Thanksgiving friends!

I'm sad to say, I don't remember cranberry fluff!!! I'm going to have to try this right away! What I remember most from grandma's kitchen is spaghetti sauce.
