I’m believe in planning ahead. Heck, I start my Christmas shopping in July for goodness sake! Most of us focus on Christmas dinner, but what about breakfast?
My great grandmother used to make these cookies for the holidays. One year I asked her for the recipe, which I am delighted to share with you. They are easy to make. You can add raisins or leave them out.
I’m amazed at how simple these chocolate nut clusters are to make. They are great to give as gifts or to bring out after holiday meals. If you don’t have a double boiler then use a metal bowl over hot water.
I confess that I have eaten way too much last week so it’s time for me to lighten up a bit. I like to use a mild and sweet soybean paste, but any white miso will work just fine.
This pumpkin cherry bread is perfect to give away as gifts or to have around for quick breakfasts. Make several loaves and store one in the freezer for those out-of-town guests who are coming for the holidays.
Here is a good way to use up leftover turkey and also feel like you’re having a completely different meal.
...and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor, and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings.
I know that my Thanksgiving plate is not complete without a generous helping of rich turkey gravy. Here is an easy, but delicious gravy. A gravy separator does make fast work of separating the turkey juices from the fat.
I have to admit that I’ve never really been a big fan of the traditional Candied Yam dish, but I know that a lot of Thanksgivings just aren’t complete without out it.
Chanukah, celebrating the rededication of the Temple after the Maccabees defeated Antiochus and the Syrian army in 165 B.C.E., is a joyous occasion, a time for parties AND for latkes.
Every year I tell everyone not to overcook his or her turkey and to purchase a meat thermometer AND USE IT! The objective, of course, is to have moist and juicy breast meat with succulent thighs!
