“A good cranberry sauce for those who are avoiding a lot of sugar, which is usually abundant in cranberry sauces. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com. ”
It’s tough to make a drink that can please both those who abstain from and those who imbibe alcohol. Many mocktails are no more than sugary juices with a bit of soda water added. For Cambria’s winter glam cocktail party I was tasked with coming up with something a little more interesting — a mocktail that had the edgy notes of a grown-up drink without any of the alcohol. But it had to accommodate a splash of stronger stuff, too, for those who wanted a boozy punch.
My solution? This festive cranberry fizz — which I’m told was a hit. Want to see what’s in it?
When the weather outside is frightful, you throw a cocktail party. (I’m pretty sure those are the original lyrics to that song.) Last January when the other editors and I planned The Kitchn’s Gatherings for the year, it fell to me to host our very last party of 2013 — a winter cocktail soirée with bubbly drinks and appetizers.
So with a Pinterest board full of glitzy party decor ideas and a menu of bite-sized indulgences, my husband and I set out to create a sparkly, slightly retro, cozy-glam evening for our friends, all of whom work very hard and deserve a night to dress up, get out, and get down with a good drink and a lamb meatball slider. Today I’ll share the party plan and the full menu, which may or may not include chocolate cake bites, bacon-wrapped dates, and perhaps the greatest cranberry-ginger-rosemary punch ever. (Ok fine! Those are all included! I have a terrible poker face.)
We all start our days in different ways: a breakfast pizza with sunny-side up egg for me, a green smoothie for you, and ham-cheddar egg bakes for a friend. (Unless, that is, we’re all sharing a plate of lofty buttermilk pancakes doused in maple syrup.)
This past year, we talked about all sorts of ways to super-power our mornings with an extra dose of protein and nutrition, and here are fifteen favorites. These are the breakfasts that make us excited to get out of bed and leap into the day!

“This is my original recipe and can be either vegetarian or meat based. It also freezes well – just thaw, heat and add cream or yoghurt before serving. It’s delicious and well worth the extra steps of roasting and pureeing. Enjoy!”
