This week's CEiMB choice was chosen by Holly. She has the recipe posted on her blog (or on page 220 in the cookbook). I might add that her photos are "phenomenal" and she did an awesome job! That said, I apologize in advance for my awful pictures. I waited until the last minute to make this delicious dinner and I wish that I would have made it earlier in the week when I had more time and better light during the day for photos. I also wish that my husband would have been home to help me tie the roulade together. If only I hadn't have procrastinated, I think things would have went much smoother.To begin, I did have a hard time finding a boneless turkey breast at the store. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right spot. I even had to return the first small roast that I did buy. When I brought it home, I realized that it was not going to work at all. I also could not find unsweetened dried cranberries anywhere.
The roulade is basically a turkey breast, flattened out and rolled with stuffing and cranberries. It was so, so, so good. Mine wasn't the prettiest thing in the slightest. It looked ridiculous tied together with black sewing thread because I don't have any kitchen twine. I also didn't sear it and make it golden brown before I put it in the oven because I was afraid to move it. I didn't want my roulade to fall apart. However, it tasted awesome. My husband loved it and is looking forward to his lunch tomorrow! I enjoyed it too. Which is surprising because I normally hate cranberries and don't touch them at Thanksgiving. This recipe is a keeper for sure. Great pick Holly!
I have also decided to take over the responsibility for CEiMB. I am not sure what I am getting myself into. However, I like this cookbook so much and have enjoyed practically everything that we have had so far. I don't want to see it end. I have e-mailed Leigh regarding this and will get next week's choice revealed very soon. If you are scheduled to pick in the near future, please let me know your choice. Thanks!

Awesomeness! I was hoping someone would take over the group b/c I didn't want to see it end. Glad you and the hubs enjoyed the recipe!

Ooooh, I'm late in doing mine too, but after reading everyone's reviews, I can't wait!
I'm so happy we have a new leader!! Your roulade looks so yummy. If you want an asistant for the group let me know. I'd love to help, I just don't have the time to be the leader. - Ninabeth
great job! I'm glad the group will continue! Thanks for taking it over!
Thank you so much for deciding to take it over. I love this cookbook too and would hate to see the group end. I'd be happy to help too.
