EGGNOG CRANBERRY SALAD
This is either a fantastic dessert or salad. I serve it with roasted turkey at Thanksgiving or anytime. You can use sugar free jello, pudding mix and cool whip. My family can't tell the difference. Thank you Teresa ( a co-worker)

CRANBERRY EGGNOG
This is a wonderful alternative to regular eggnog. It doesn't have a real strong cranberry taste. It's very smooth tasting and has a pretty pink color! I may have entered this too late for this holiday season, but it is well worth keeping for next holiday!
