No-Fuss Sweet Potato Pumpkin Mousse
This mousse is elegant, continental, sophisticated and incredibly easy. There's no cooking, no whipping and no fuss, and yet the results are as creamy and decadent as a confection that took hours to prepare.

Roasted Pear and Cranberry Relish
No one will guess that you threw together this elegant sauce from a few pantry staples in your spare time. Roasting the pears intensifies their sweetness and lends them a toasted aura that is the perfect counterpoint to tart, whole-berry cranberry sauce. Serve with roast turkey or any roasted meats.

Chile Cornbread Stuffing
This cornbread stuffing is loaded with vegetables and Mexican flare that make it taste like it took hours to prepare. The truth is something far simpler. Roasting the vegetables gives them a meaty, robust texture and a concentrated flavor that transforms plain stuffing into a nutritious and delicious side dish.
