Cranberry Relish with Grand Marnier

by Nanny Bubby

Old Family recipe: by Tanya Murray Heath Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday of the year. It brings me such joy. There are so many recipes that are just cooked once a year for this happy and peaceful holiday. This one is one of my very favorites, and I always make enough to freeze for recipes during the year. This one comes from my dear friend, Tanya Murray Heath. As she says, “it has been in our family and on our table for as far back as I can remember.” We both hope it will have a permanent place on your table as well. Enjoy! “Spread Love Like Butter”

Ojai Pixie Tangerine Salad

by Nanny Bubby

There are two growing seasons I adore. One is Hatch Chile season in the fall, and the other is the Ojai Pixie tangerine season in the spring. Both of these delicacies are specific to the area they are grown in, and the taste, tenderness and delicacy that these two items are savored for, cannot be found in any other area of the world that is any better than Hatch, New Mexico or Ojai, California. This salad helps you to savor the wonderful sweet yet tangy taste of these amazing tangerines. (and they are so easy to peel) Nestled with the peppery arugula and sweet beets, along with the salty feta and fat content of the avocado, this is a salad that you will serve over and over during this amazing Harvest season. Remember…. “Spread Love Like Butter”.
