	Mocha and Peppermint Eggnog by Nikki S. Moore After days of cookie baking, I decided to make a change and start drinking my calories. It wasn’t hard. A request from NestFresh eggs for me to present an eggnog recipe on a local news station this evening had me whipping up not one, but two batches of eggnog.I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never made homemade eggnog. That…	1 vote 325 views

	Homemade Cranberry Pie by Nikki S. Moore Cranberry pie is probably not the first pie you think to bake for your Thanksgiving table. Cranberries are tart which is why when they do appear in pies you usually find them paired with apples, pears, and/or blueberries. Just not this time.This is a pie for the cranberry lover. Sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup tone down the bracing…	1 vote 452 views

	Farro with Winter Greens, Beets and Feta by Nikki S. Moore Thanksgiving is just days away. How is the planning coming? Is the turkey defrosting? Did you purchase wine? Have you thought about what needs to go in your oven?That last question may be the most important. It’s one thing to plan the perfect Pinterest menu, but quite another to make sure that the items on that menu make it to…	1 vote 476 views
	Celery Root and Potato Gratin with Comte by Nikki S. Moore I’ve always loved a vegetable platter. You know, the one with the mac and cheese. Perhaps for that reason, I really struggled when it came to selecting sides for this Thanksgiving project. There are so many wonderful things to make this time of year that I am convinced your entire Thanksgiving meal could be nothing but sides.…	1 vote 518 views
	Cornbread Stuffing with Sweet Italian Sausage and Dried Cherries by Nikki S. Moore Technically this dish is a dressing instead of a stuffing (it’s being baked outside the bird), but who wants to get weighed down with semantics when there is a hearty side dish packed with sweet Italian sausage, dried cherries, and cornbread to make.I…	1 vote 635 views
