Raspberry Cranberry Sauce
I am no stranger to the canned cranberry enthusiasts-- I have several in my own family. (Gasp!) They like their "sauce" to be, well, not at all saucy, with thick ridges in the sides that keep their mold long after they've thwapped from their aluminum homes onto a serving dish. While I'm not particularly a fan...
Easy Cranberry Chipotle Cocktail Meatballs
I've got to be honest here, I didn't come up with this idea entirely. The recipe is tweaked from another recipe that I'm seeing everywhere lately-- one that is pretty good on its own but doesn't reach the its full potential, in my opinion. I would absolutely link to the original source if I had any...
Cranberry White Wine Punch
I am a heavy proponent of two things at family gatherings: 1) Serving yourself, because the potatoes won't seem to cook, there are kids running around everywhere, Aunt Terry is discussing conspiracy theories, the potatoes still aren't done, you can't remember your third cousin's name and you don't know how much longer you can...

Italian Style Stuffing
Here in New Jersey, Italian-Americans make up almost 18% of the state's population-- surpassed in overall number only by our neighbor to the north, New York. This means that, despite the fact that I have not a drop of Italian blood in me, I'm surrounded by plenty of sources for a peek into Italian-American culture. Or...
Nut-Crusted Fried Brie Bites
I don't know about you, but I feel like there is not nearly enough cheese in the traditional Thanksgiving spread. Cheese, in all of its variations, definitely makes my "Grateful For:" list every year. As a result, I put cheese in my mashed potatoes, cheese in my dessert, and used warm, buttery, melted cheese as...
Pomegranate Mojito
Am I the only one who is completely blown away by how close to Christmas it is? Where did the time go? What have I been doing for the past month? I feel like Anchorman 2 has gotten more attention than the holidays this year, or maybe I just have selective hearing. Either way, I'm...
Thyme Brown Butter Mashed Sweet Potatoes
I'm hardly the only person in the country who has a serious smorgasbord sprawled around the dining room table every Thanksgiving.

However, there has...
