 Apple Cider Punch and Pomegranate and Cranberry Bellinis

sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have been going through some family health issues that have kept me from giving you what you like to see most. When people are under stress all of those creative juices evaporate into thin air and it becomes extremely difficult to get back on the wagon. I am hoping that the new year my family and I can leave the trying times behind and can start anew. At this point I don't know if I will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving the way I always do, surrounded by family but I know that regardless of where I am, I will always be thankful for everything that I have because in times of despair is when you have to work harder at reminding yourself of your blessings.

but I know most of you will be able to spend it with those you love and enjoy the laughter, sarcasm, and all those crazy comments that go around the table. So to give you a bit of inspiration here are a few recipes I collected on my Pinterest boards. I want to try to do the Apple Cider Punch (1st photo) which seems to be easy to make. Hope that this helps and that you find something you want to try on Thanksgiving day.

May you enjoy your time, feel blessed to be alive and give your loved ones a wet kiss because that's what is all about...love.
