Is the usual casserole too heavy for you? Try this light take in the form of cookies. Yum! Here’s the recipe if you want to give it a go.
2. Cranberry Applesauce with Ginger
Sometimes those whole berries are just too much to navigate around when all you want is that popping cranberry flavor. This applesauce gets straight to it. Pinch My Salt shows you a sure-fire way to enjoy this concept.
Go vegan!
