Make this ruby drink your pre-dinner treat. Champagne or sparkling grape juice adds a touch of fizz.
This towering spice cake makes a beautiful centerpiece for your dessert buffet.
It's easy to customize this delicious holiday favorite: Add the lesser amount of spices for a light, golden pie or a more generous amount for a darker more robust-flavored dessert.
Before you fill up on turkey, save room for an old classic -- sweet potato pie. A generous handful of toasted hazelnuts adds delicious crunch.
