Hail the Broccoli! (and the almonds, and the quinoa, the lemon.....)

Our family's longest-running Christmas tradition is to bake these prize-winning white chocolate cranberry bars. One year, my husband started calling it "Cramble" and the name stuck! Making paper chains, sawing down our chosen Christmas tree from the local tree farm, and keeping a countdown to Christmas written on our big family chalkboard are just a few other traditions we treasure that made their way into this illustrated recipe.

One of my favorite recipes for holidays or just because, this easy and flavorful sauce is great on meats like turkey or ham, or throw it on breakfast pancakes or desserts like cheesecake. A winner!

A sweet sipper to warm up your Holiday celebrations. This is merriment in a festively decorated glass. Cheers!

Holiday Sweets! This pie also taste great with and oatmeal streusel topping in place of a double pie crust. Or, eliminate the pie crust all together and put the filling in a casserole dish, top with streusel and a nice dollop of whip cream!

This year I will not be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my friends as I would do normally, due to the lockdown. But at least I can think about them and share the menu we eat every year. Well except the pecan pie. This will be this years‘ taste of Thanksgiving until we can meet again.
No matter where, when and how you celebrate, I wish you a wonderful time!

This salad is so simple and nutritious, and the cranberries and honey bring sweetness to balance out the bitter greens.

The perfect tropical drink for a perfect summer day (or any day).

My mom's the best ever cranberry cider!
