Charoset Tart is a lovely dessert for your holiday table. You can serve it plain, or make it even more special with whipped cream on top.
Holidays
Recipes and tips for foods you might want to serve for a holiday celebration, special occasions, or just because you want something a little fancy.
Red Lentil Soup with Red Pepper Paste and Cilantro
Red lentil soup is one of my favorite soups. This one is a little spicy and great with freshly baked crusty bread slathered with freshly made butter. It makes quite a bit of soup so you can have leftovers for lunch or freeze some for another time.
Clam Chowder - A Homemade Family Favorite
Clam Chowder is a favorite of mine, especially homemade. My son has decided he doesn't like anything that comes out of the sea. But, he likes this. This soup is full of flavor because of a secret ingredient - and it's gluten-free. Serve it with Old Bay Biscuits and make it a family favorite.
Corned Beef with Stout in the Instant Pot
Corned Beef with Stout is so easy to make in the Instant Pot. The stout gives it a lot of flavors, and the Instant Pot makes it quick. You don't have to wait until St. Patrick's Day - this is easy enough for any time.
Stovetop Smoked Salmon with Dill Rub
Stovetop smoked salmon is so easy to make and tastes out of this world good. I serve it with creamy dill sauce, steamed new potatoes, broccoli, and white wine. You will seriously wonder why you haven't made this before.
German Chocolate Velvet Cake for a Celebration
This German Chocolate Velvet Cake really is the ultimate chocolate cake. It has the velvety texture of Red Velvet cake, deep dark chocolate flavor, mocha frosting, and coconut-pecan filling and topping. Even people who don't like chocolate cake, or who don't like coconut love this cake.
Italian Sausage Stuffing with Wine and Raisins
This Italian sausage stuffing is not as easy as the stuff in the box you make on the stovetop, but if you are going to have one star of your holiday table, it should be this stuffing.
How to Roast a Duck in an Electric Nesco Roaster Oven
What's on Your Plate
Roasting in an electric NESCO roaster oven delivers juicy meat and crisp skin every time. Prick the skin, use the rack to keep it out of the fat, and pair with raspberry sauce for a perfect balance of rich and tangy flavor.
Caramel Sweet Potato Casserole
Caramel Sweet Potato Casserole is a little different than the one you usually see at the holiday table. Is it sweet? You betcha! But it's more interesting because it has caramel, pineapple, and cashews - marshmallows are optional.
Green Beans with Toasted Garlic Almonds
Green Beans with Toasted Garlic Almonds will make you forget about that green bean casserole you have been bemoaning for years. This has excellent flavor and is easy to make any time.
