A light, bright, crunchy salad to balance your Thanksgiving turkey. 40 cents per serving of sweet, aromatic and spicy salad. Totally refreshing.
The Soft Drink for Thanksgiving
If red wine goes with your Thanksgiving dinner, so does this unsweetened, non-alcoholic, deeply flavored soda. Better Cheaper Slimmer Grape Soda Pop. It's actually kind of elegant. If alcohol's not the thing for you or a guest, this is the drink to serve. Cool for kids, too.

The tree, not the cocktail.
Both may provide pleasure and relaxation on a Slower Sunday. But Slower Sunday can only provide the tree variety. Press Play, relax and smile. It's OK to sway, too. When it's the tree.
Cranberry-Maple Granita

Peanut Butter and (No Jelly) Beans
Five minutes to greatness. Spicy Peanut Sesame sauce. Intense, refreshing flavor for any vegetable. Especially for crisp, crunchy barely cooked ones like the fresh, flavorful string beans I just used.

The best meatballs I've ever had. The ricotta cheese keeps them light and airy. The finely ground veal and grated parmigiano make them deeply flavorful. Less than $5 for a very large serving, including spaghetti and sauce.
