CheekEE, could you also substitute yogurt for the sour cream? I personally like sour cream so I think it sounds good and cuts the sweetness.

Off the top of my head, I'd say start with your basic cheesecake recipe (I use Better Crocker) and add 3/4 C cooked cranberries, the zest of one large orange and 2T of orange juice. But I eyeball those measurements. Instead of the graham cracker crust, I'd use unfrosted sugar cookies that have dried out (you know, because the "kids" didn't eat them in time and "Please get them I really want them") crumbled in the food processor.

I could be wrong but I think that BaconBoy was talking about Betty Crocker's recipe for cheesecake, not a boxed mix. QueenBee, when I want to make a cheesecake quickly I use the Kraft 3-step recipe (I saved it from the cream cheese package and taped it inside a kitchen cabinet). It is sooooo easy and very good! http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/philadelphia-3-step-cheesecake-51208.aspx

hmdagal, I generally swirl the fruit in the batter. But my standard varieties are:
Mint chocolate swirl with Thin Mints crust, topped with chocolate shavings
White chocolate raspberry swirl with sugar cookie crust and white chocolate shavings plus plate dotted with raspberry sauce
Turtle (chocolate chips, toasted pecans and homemade caramel sauce swirl) with pecan sandy crust and drizzled with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce
Pumpkin cheesecake with standard graham cracker crust

Oh, and I try to avoid boxed mixes whenever possible. Good catch, RR Sarah.

Does anyone have a good Cranberry Salad recipe? I have never tried, but thought it might be better than just out of the can.

Just hubby & I for dinner so pretty simple: Turkey breast Stuffing Salad Sweet Potatoes Cranberry sauce (homemake of-course) Rolls Pumpkin Spice Cake No pie, too much for just us two Son, dil and grandbaby coming for breakfast and found a yummy sounding "Blueberry French Break Bake" that I'll try with sausage and fruit.

My first one so keeping it easy:
Turkey (borrowing my mom's NuWave oven to cook it) Sweet Potato recipe Sauteed squash medley green salad biscuits stuffing cran-apple-walnut jello salad Mashed potatoes
and whatever my BFF brings for dessert My dinner turned out great! The NuWave oven cooked a fantastic, moist, browned turkey in exactly two hours! I added green bean casserole at the last minute, and my other BFF brought a yams and apples dish instead of the sweet potatoes. Cooking that much fod though is tiring! So glad I reserved a vacation day yesterday to recouperate!

OK, I've been designated as the bringer of dessert for dinner at my sister's house. I was told to bring "a pie and something else." The trick is that it has to be something I can make Wednesday and that will travel easily (it's a 4 hour drive to her house). I'm planning on pumpkin pie, but need ideas for the second dish. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm seriously considering a 7 layer cake, but I don't really trust trying to transport it quite that far.
