It is that time of the year when favorite recipes come out of their sequestered corners to show off upcoming culinary delights! The Herbed Lentils and Rice is a Thanksgiving alternative to stuffing and the various potato dishes...one of many nontraditional items on the menu when the holiday meal is at my house. In fact, Grandma Erma's Spirited Cranberry Sauce is the closest we get to traditional...think stone crab claws, key lime pie, 'no turkey'! This may be blasphemous to some, but these quirks on the Thanksgiving Day table have set a new (and yummy) 'tradition'! :) Naples, FL
