With Thanksgiving coming, I have been in the mood for turkey and cranberry sauce! A long time ago, I tried to make a cranberry swirl bread that was an absolute flop… well all but the “swirl”. It turned out to be the best cranberry sauce I’ve ever had! And I’ve used this recipe ever since!
This recipe doubles (triples!!) easily!
Sweet Cranberry Sauce
- 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries
- ⅓ cup of raw sugar
- 1 pat of butter
- zest of 1 orange
- juice of 1 orange
- Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook on medium-low heat, stirring consistently, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

As the weather cools, I am starting to want casseroles and one dish meals more and more often! But I’m not 100% with my Lyme. Enter Lazy Girl Lasagna!
Lazy Girl Lasagna
- 1 pound of frozen ravioli
- 1 pound of ground beef or turkey
- 1 jar of pasta sauce of choice
- 1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese
- Preheat the oven to 400 and spray a lasagna pan with non-stick spray.
- Brown the ground meat until fully cooked.
- In the lasagna pan, create two layers in the following order: Sauce, ravioli, meat, sauce and cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes covered with tin foil.
- Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is browning and bubbly.

Call Me PMc’s Peppermint Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
As we all know… I. Love. Cinnamon. I even put it in my soup! I also love dessert for breakfast! Enter Oatmeal Apple Crisp!
 Oatmeal Apple Crisp
Oatmeal Apple Crisp
- 5 or 6 apples of choice, peeled, cored and diced
- 2.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt, divided in half
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup uncooked rolled oats
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into small pieces, plus more for coating the dish
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Lightly coat an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter.
- Combine the apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl and toss to coat. Place the apple mixture in the prepared baking dish and set aside.
- Using the same bowl as for mixing the apples, mix together the brown sugar, oats, flour, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt until evenly combined. With your fingertips, blend in the butter pieces until small clumps form and the butter is well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples and bake until the topping is crispy and the apples are tender, about 45 minutes.

 As many of you know, I (thought I) have been dealing with autoimmune issues for many years. I have been struggling with further debilitating fatigue and seemingly unfixable joint pain, which is why I haven’t been doing much cooking or posting!
For the last month or two, I have been treating Lyme Disease. Almost all of my symptoms (some of which I didn’t even realize I had!) are starting to slowly improve. If my arthritis is related to the Lyme (which I suspect it is, since it too is improving), then I am in the midst of late stage lyme!
Unfortunately, Lyme Disease is not a quick fix, as many believe. It is a long haul process with many ups and downs. I am fortunate to have more ups than downs and soon hope to be back to cooking again!
Dear Human,
Hi, my name is Borrelia Burgdorferi, but you probably know me by my nickname, Lyme.
I usually enter your body from the bite of a tick and every once in a while; I let people know by providing them a Target Supercenter logo rash. If they are one of the lucky ones, they test positive, take 30 days of doxycycline and carry on about their lives as if I never existed. (rude!)
But that’s not my true passion. My true passion is to play hide and sneak! I can give you fevers, severe fatigue, joint pain, nerve damage, heart troubles and inflammation. You will be so tired; you will not be able to think straight. Even turning your head to switch lanes while driving will be too much effort for you.
I can make you really frustrated, when you come home from the doctor’s office after being told you’re fine, over and over again. It makes me really happy when you cry.
Your doctor might not even test for me, and when he does, it will probably be negative. You will get misdiagnosed over and over (and over!). You will treat the wrong diseases and you will slowly feel worse and worse. I may even cause you some permanent damage!
And what really tickles my spirochete is the fact that there aren’t many doctors that will treat me. And when you find one, I do the happy dance after you finish your 30 day supply of doxy, because guess what? I’M STILL HERE!!! (hee hee hee!)
I lay back in my safe little cyst, sipping fruity drinks while I wait for the next perfect opportunity to strike again. When you least expect it. Your doctor won’t believe I’m here because he thinks he killed me already. I’m such a tricky little fella!
And guess what? I’m not alone! I have a lot of friends. Some lyme doctors call them co-infections,but they’re my partners in crime. Together, we’re having a party in your body and you supply the open bar!
And lastly, don’t talk too much about me to your friends and family. You don’t look sick and they won’t think it’s really that big of a deal. Just sayin’.
So until the next round of antibiotics, you’re it! Count to 10 and I’ll go hide! See if you can find me!
xoxo,
Lyme
Bruce & Zannie Liska
