The sweet, soft tang of goat cheese melds perfectly with the slightly sour cranberries in this delectable meal. The sage-y sauce is better than your Aunt's gravy (we won't tell her) and these seasoned Brussels sprouts beat any Brussels sprouts side dish by a wide mile. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.
