EGGNOG DOUGHNUTS

If you asked everyone for their favorite Christmas movie, I have to imagine that White Christmas would be right at the top. The music, sung in Bing Crosby’s baritone along with Rosemary Clooney’s sultry, smoky voice, is the true star here, especially against a sort of classic Hollywood plot – performers band together to put on a show and save […]

COCONUT SNOW CLOUDS

Cloud cake is the perfect name for this lighter than air recipe. It tastes as though it needs a weight attached to the plate to keep it from floating off the table. Unlike a pavlova, this layered dessert is made with a soft, spongey meringue, and layered like a small cake with spiked whipped cream. Flakes of barely toasted coconut […]

CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT MARSHMALLOWS

CHICKEN PIE

Chicken pie makes me think of rainy days, sweaters, and curling up with mom on the couch to watch Jeopardy.

ROASTED SQUASH SOUP

Consider this the anti-classic sweet potato side dish. Yes, it’s filled with that squash-y yammy sweetness, but without the marshmallow intensity you’ll find with most side dishes. Subtly spiced and all about the vegetables, this kabocha squash, yam, and celery root soup, with hints of smoked paprika, cumin, and coriander, is the perfect Thanksgiving appetizer. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup olive […]

I love the idea of having hot chocolate ready to go at a moment’s notice, and discovered that this mix makes a delicious hot fudge sauce as well. I keep a big jar […]

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS SOUP

Leftover quesadillas, leftover hash, and of course leftover sandwiches are my family’s go-to Thanksgiving hangover meals. But this year, I think I have a more healthful, comforting solution for what to do with all of that extra turkey. This soup is similar to a simple chicken noodle soup, but it’s flavor comes from the herbs, spices, and definitely the fennel […]
