      Thrilled to have you included. I had trouble putting your picture in lightroom and saving finished collage. Hope you don’t mind I just used a pic of cranberries…

    Amy, love this round-up, and thank you for including us! That recipe for duck fat sprouts made us lovers of the veggie, and now we enjoy them often, sometimes without the duck fat. Happy Thanksgiving!!
