	In-a-Pinch Cranberry Sauce made from Dried Cranberries by Salad Foodie I serve turkey year round but forget to keep canned cranberry sauce on hand; even when I do it's hard to use up the whole can because not everone eats it.

	Cumin Rice by Joyce Leung This rice is a delicious mix of cumin and cinnamon. It provides a nice, slightly sweet flavor, that is a perfect complement to any middle eastern dish. The only dishes I would avoid serving this with are sweet dishes with dates, figs, etc. I served it with my Braised Lamb with Beans. It was great!	7 votes 4 reviews 1 comment 20775 views

	Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage (Colcannon) by Salad Foodie A perfect way to boost nutrition in mashed potatoes, this is a favorite Irish side dish but can certainly appear at Oktoberfest in late September with bratwurst or sauerbraten.
