Today, the Sunday Supper crew is bringing you stories of thanksgiving and over 40 Thanksgiving and Hanukkah dishes.

Thankful for support

It is so fitting that we are sharing the spirit of thanksgiving, because so many of us are thankful for this wonderful group of bloggers who comes together each week.

When we signed up to become a member of Sunday Supper, we had no idea the caring community we was about to enter. This group of bloggers has become a network of support and encouragement that has inspired us to grow and stretch our skills further than we ever would have ever imagined.

Today is a great day to send a big "Thank You" their way!

Is there someone (or a group of someones) whose encouragement and support you are grateful for?

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Blue Cheese and Cranberries. I know the title is quite a mouthful. But, how else do you hint at all the wonderful flavors that mingle around these lovely roasted Brussels sprouts?

We're pretty sure this dish could convert even the most staunch Brussels sprout hater around your Thanksgiving table. It's a bold claim, but the sweetness of the apples and cranberries, the hint of tart from the balsamic vinegar, the crunch of toasted walnuts, and just the right amount of smooth saltiness from the blue cheese combine to create a Brussels sprout side dish that is truly unlike any other.

Yes, there's a lot going on in there. It's practically a meal in itself. (We may or may not have eaten a whole pan of these for dinner once or twice.)

But, it goes great with a side of turkey with the fixings too.
