Almond and Fig Daisies
At home we always have dryied fruits for Christmas and sometimes I pair them with almonds or walnuts. These almond and fig daisies are one of our family favourites and I find that they look so nice on the Christmas table. I also make them as Christmas gifts and fill celophane bags which I close with a pretty bow and a tag.
One Cup Punch
I give this warning every time I make this punch, but no one ever listens. Be careful. Drink slowly. Beware the punch. It is kinda sweet, very boozy, and guarantees a party.
Cardinal
My French friend is visiting this month and has introduced me to a wonderful French cocktail that is very holiday-like... It's two ingredients over ice, and as easy to make for 1 or 10.
Sour Candied Citrus Peels
I love making trash into treasure. Culinarily, this means using things like citrus rinds instead of throwing them out. Try this Sour Candied Citrus Peels recipe.
Salty Sweet Popcorn (for all seasons)
I make this sweet and salty popcorn recipe for rooftop movies I host during the summer, served up in individual brown paper bags. It's easy and inexpensive!
Little Apricot Confections
These little cookies were first given to my mother as a holiday gift back in the late 1960's. She and I loved them so much, and once we got the recipe from her friend David's mother, Mom and I made these together. A very intense apricot flavor and tart and sweet all at the same time. Insanely easy and so not your usual holiday cookie.
Dill Rice the Afghani Way- Chelo Shibit
Chelo means rice and shibit means dill, in Dari, one of the national languages of Afghanistan. This recipe has a lovely herbal quality from the dill over rice.
Garlic Rosemary Butter
We use this rosemary garlic butter recipe with everything from garlic bread and scrambled eggs, to pasta and mashed potatoes. You can use other herbs, too.
Cranberry-Orange Relish
This sweet and tart cranberry relish is much more refreshing than cooked cranberry sauce, and it takes about as long to make as it does to open a can. You'll need a food processor for this one; a blender will reduce everything to juice. Leftovers are great for breakfast with plain yogurt or in a post-Thanksgiving sandwich.
Cornbread Stuffing
This is the best cornbread stuffing because it starts with homemade cornbread that is grainy and savory. I find most cornbread to be very sweet. You can bake the cornbread to serve on its own or make a double batch to use in this stuffing. If you need an even larger quantity of stuffing, quadruple the cornbread recipe and double the stuffing recipe to bake in a 3-quart baking dish (it will take about 45 to 50 minutes) or in two 9-inch pans.

Aunt Fran's Pancakes
This comes from my husband's Aunt Fran. They are hands down the best pancake I have ever eaten. They taste lovely and have a very light texture. I use a variation with nonfat plain yogurt, whole wheat pastry flour and egg whites. They are delicious with blueberries too!!!
Sweet and Sour Winter Squash
This dish is based on a Sicilian recipe that I learned from the food writer Clifford A. Wright. The sweet and sour flavors are typical of Sicilian cuisine, though I have changed the technique used in the authentic version, which entails sautéing the squash in a lot more oil.
Winter Squash and Potato Gratin
This savory casserole is an almost classic gratin dauphinois (potatoes au gratin), with squash standing in for half of the potatoes and low-fat milk substituting for cream. It is a very comforting dish that can be baked ahead and reheated.
Cheesy Sweet Potato Balls
This recipe was born out of leftovers I had in the fridge and a love for sweet potatoes. These sweet potato balls with cheese are deliciously addicting.
Stir-Fried Winter Squash and Tofu With Soba
Winter squash is a nutrient-dense vegetable, with lots of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene (the more orange the flesh, generally the more vitamin A in the squash), vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber. Winter squash goes well with ginger, and this stir-fry makes a delicious vegetarian main course. Use a sweet, dense squash like butternut for this dish.
Oatmeal Pancakes
Mom used to stealthily try to make us eat all kinds of healthy things (tofu banana pie, brewer's yeast milkshakes, liver meatloaf) and usually we hated it (sorry Mom!), but these pancakes I still crave!
Sun-Dried Tomato Toasts
This is a super easy and fast appetizer to prepare, yet incredibly delicious. Proof that delicious does not have to be fancy and labour intensive. Your guests will be begging for more!
Risotto With Winter Squash and Collard Greens
Collard greens and roasted winter squash are very compatible in this nutritious and rich-tasting risotto. The squash, an excellent source of vitamin A, is sweet and tender, while the collards are earthy, with a slightly chewy texture.
Italianissmo Limoncello Panaché
In France, a panaché is a drink served in summer made from a mix of beer with lemon-flavored soda like Seven-Up or Sprite. This makes for a refreshing drink.
Black-Eyed Peas With Collard Greens
Black-eyed peas with collard greens sounds like a Southern dish, and indeed it would be if you threw in a ham hock and took away the dill. But this recipe actually is inspired by a Greek dish that combines black-eyed peas with wild greens.
Margaritas for Jerks
Let's not pretend; this recipe is for a margarita. With an emphasis on simplicity and taste. Our friend with Mexican-Wisconsin heritage threw these together at a backyard cookout one afternoon and it was a bit like watching a card trick. I can't find a reason to make a margarita any other way. It's a foolproof method and really quick; critical after three or four batches. Note: consider using good beer (we used Goose Island Matilda, a Belgian-style ale ) and great tequila (we used Don Julio). Read on.
Piña Corada
No blender? No coconut milk? No worries! The Piña Corada captures the delicious fruitiness of the classic cocktail while providing the refreshing taste of a cold beer. Kick your legs up and let yourself be transported to your favorite Caribbean destination!
Gingered Beer
This (for me) came out of having some really spicy ginger beer laying around in the fridge after a microbeer and microsoda trip in an all day roadtrip taken around Long Island about 15 years ago. It's similiar to a shandy, but not. I like using a Belgian White Ale (that has a hint of coriander in it) to go along with the ginger beer and squeeze a bit of fresh orange or lime juice into the mix also. Feel free to fiddle with the proportions to get it to your liking.
Tangy Brussels Sprout Chips
My sister (Kersh in the Kitch) had Brussels Sprout Chips at a dinner party a few years ago, and being the Brussels lovers we are, we couldn't wait to try it ourselves. My version uses garlic powder and tangy lemon juice for an extra fresh zippy flavor that enhances and complements the chips perfectly!
