Just in time for Thanksgiving, TLC has posted "Brown Family Recipes," favorite cooking recipes of the stars of their new hit reality show "Sister Wives." We picked out a few of our favorites to share here.Meri, the first wife, has a delicious (and simple!) Cranberry Salad on her list:
INGREDIENTS
| 4 | cup fresh frozen cranberries (1 -12 ounce package) |
| 1/4 | cup sugar |
| 2 | cup red grapes, cut in half |
| 1 | can pineapple tidbits |
| 1 | cup chopped walnuts |
| 1 | cup whipped topping |
PREPARATION:
- Chop cranberries in blender (careful, it's loud!). Mix with sugar.
- Put in colander and cover overnight to strain and thaw. Place colander in larger bowl. Save juice to pour over cranberries again and re-strain in the morning.
- Add remaining ingredients and serve.
Second wife Janelle has a lot of yummy recipes, but the Pumpkin Pie Cake is the one that caught our eye:

Interestingly, new fourth wife Robyn doesn't have any recipes listed. Perhaps she will get some on the site when Season 2 starts. The full list of recipes can be found here.
