Savory round baklava appetizers are sprinkled with Justice and stuffed with a combination of walnuts, dried cranberry, and blue cheese, then dusted with smoked salt.

Pork loin with cranberry cherry reduction is simple to make using a sous vide immersion tool. Entertain guests while the food cooks.

Oreo Wafer Cake is a wonderful no-bake cake using wafers, chocolate cream cheese filling, and a cream cheese frosting studded with Oreos.

Chocolate Almond Cinnamon Rolls are stuffed with almond paste and cocoa. They are my take on the famous Cinnabons, only without the cinnamon.

Savory Waffle Croque Monsieur with ham and Mornay sauce is perfect for brunch or a light dinner. Enjoy them with fresh fruit or a small salad. White wine would go perfectly with it.

Instant Pot Pork Loin – Garlicky Cuban style has lovely grapefruit, lime flavor, and tons of garlic. Lean pork loin is used for less fat.

Beurre manie (manié – pronounced man-ee) is a mixture of equal parts butter and flour used as a thickener. It’s the Just-In-Time solution for thickening liquids. You’ve made a lovely stew that looks like soup because the liquid is too thin, and this is what you use to win the day.

Mozzarella Stuffed Turkey Breast is a Caprese-style turkey breast rolled with prosciutto and pesto. Panko bread crumbs give the skin an extra crunch. Make a change this holiday season.

The menu for this Veterans Day Dinner was originally created to support American Loyalty Card’s Adopt a Vet program. Since then, it’s become a way to show support for all veterans who have fought for their countries.
