I know we will have all our traditional favorite dishes, but I do hope someone brings something new to try this year. I'm ready for a new recipe! Will let you know and even share it with you if it is a big hit!
I have two recipes for you this week, one appetizer and one salad. The appetizer is cranberry--chipotle meatballs and is a different take on the regular cranberry meatball sauce by spicing it up with some chipotle peppers. And the salad is an old-time family favorite, three bean salad. I love this salad in the fall because of the great colors of this salad. Enjoy them both!

One 16-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
