Some of the most drool-worthy recipes can be found on Spa Bettie. Many of theme have a fun twist on the traditional holiday foods like her cranberry sauce made with ginger, peach and raspberry (seen in banner photo) or her Roasted Miso-Glazed Pumpkin.

Some of the most beautiful and creative recipes for the holidays can be found at one of my favorite blogs Keepin’ It Kind.

Ricki's Cranberry Sauce

For my gluten-free friends check out the amazing recipes from Ricki Heller that also happen to be refined-sugar free! Her Quick Fresh Apple and Cranberry Compote, pictured above, is amazing because most cranberry sauce recipes have a ton of sugar. It’s just not needed!

Here’s a fun way to use that leftover canned pumpkin you have lying around or to serve on top of some steamed greens at your holiday dinner. Heck I bet this would be a great sauce over your Tofurky instead of gravy!
