We are celebrating Cranberries this week with the Festive Foodies crew.....

Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures has invited us all to join her in creating and sharing cranberry recipes in honor of National Cranberry Day on November 21st.  

I posted a wonderful Cranberry and Pecan bread yesterday and am sharing this Cranberry Rice Pilaf with you today.  Many of the others are posting all week long and you will find their recipes by searching #CranberryWeek on social media.

This dish was so wonderfully spiced and flavorful that it was almost like eating a dessert.  I didn't have any leftovers but if I had I would have turned them into a rice pudding.  In fact, I may serve this dish up again when it is just the 3 of us so that I can do just that!!
