Triple Cheese Balls

A single base mixture serves to create three different flavors of cheeseball.  All three are great, though my personal favorite is the Gorgonzola-cranberry.

• Pesto Cheeseball
• Horseradish-Bacon Cheeseball
• Gorgonzola-Cranberry Cheeseball

Orange Cranberry Banana Smoothie

5 minutes of work to start your morning off right with a tasty fruit smoothie.  Plus, you'll use up some of that leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving.

Blood 'n Guts Dip

This cranberry-mustard dip is great for Halloween because it looks like blood & guts.  But don't be skerred, it still tastes good.

Pear-Cranberry Pie

I made an apple-cranberry pie a while back, and decided that I wanted to try it with pears.  The recipe is similar but slightly different.  I think that it turned out with a unique flavor that you don't find often in a pie.  (When was the last time you had a pear pie?)

Yield: 8 servings

Apple Cranberry Pie

The only acceptable conclusion to a Thanksgiving dinner is a homemade pie.  I've always been partial to apple pie, and I decided to mix it up this time with some cranberries.  The tart flavor of the berries makes this pie delicious.

Cranberry Cheesecake

This is a great thanksgiving or Christmas dessert.  Topped with some mint leaves and a couple extra berries, this is a fantastic looking cheesecake that your family will remember.

Cherry Cranberry Pie

This pie combines two tart fruits into a single recipe.  Remember: real men bake their pie crusts from scratch...
