Put a holiday spin on rich chocolate brownies that is reminiscent of the classic Black Forest Cake.
Dried fruit brings an extra holiday flavor and pretty color to this easy four ingredient treat that is sure to impress family and friends. You could also use candied fruit or even halved gun drops rather than dried fruit.
This dinner salad is loaded with deliciousness and is a nice way to lighten up on all of that holiday eating. If you would like to lighten it up even more, then you may want to use a reduced or fat-free blue cheese dressing.
When I have holiday guests I like to make this classic combination of bacon and eggs that are baked atop buttered bread slices in individual ramekins or muffin tins for a breakfast or brunch entrée.
I’m loving these moist and chewy cookies that are full-flavored with delicious spices. Oh, and your kitchen will smell so good while baking these cookies.
I grew up making Russian Tea Cakes during the holidays. Also called snowball cookies, Italian wedding cookies and a host of other names, these simple yet elegant cookies are great for holiday baking, since they are easy to make and kids will enjoy helping roll the dough into balls.
I love the warm, spicy flavor of gingerbread. This recipe is intensified by using two forms of ginger – ground and crystallized. This is a nice dessert or great for holiday mornings with a cup of strong coffee.
I like to make Pumpkin Cheesecake because it is a nice alternative to the traditional pumpkin pie.
I often purchase a large number of cranberries when I’m at my house on Martha’s Vineyard. This year is no exception. I make cranberry sauce, of course, but like to use these Massachusetts cranberries in other ways as well. This crisp is delicious and changes holiday desserts up a bit. A small scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a great accompaniment.
These potatoes are extremely popular on my holiday table. You may peel the potatoes the day before and cover them with cold water and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook them. I highly recommend you use a potato ricer for these potatoes to get the creamiest potatoes.
