Christmas Recipes (Most Popular)
My husband, a great cook, invented this recipe with no prompting whatsoever! It's sweet, substantial and can even be a full meal.
Traditional New Mexican cookie. Calories calculated using rum as the liquid. Cinnamon sugar made using 1 1/2 c. sugar and 1 tbsp. cinnamon.
Proof positive that you can make mincemeat pie filling with pretty much anything you have in store, this year's variation has rhubarb, green tomatoes, rum and a ton of dried fruit to fill the crust at Christmas! Makes 10 cups, enough for 2-3 nine-inch pies.
The combination of salt and sticky sweet caramel, though not a new fad, is just as delicious as it always was! Wholesome oats and whole wheat flour bump up the contrast and make cookies perfect for any holiday platter.
Fresh berries are chopped, lightly crushed and marinated in a mixture of liqueurs for an amazing topping for angel food or pound cake, or a decadent mix-in to chocolate pudding! NI is per fluid oz serving - including the sweet, boozy syrup that forms.
This is the perfect combination of two of The Chew's host's favourites: Michael Symon is proudly fond of bacon and butter, and Daphne Oz is on the healthier side with fruit, tofu and her notorious psyllium husk. A handful of butterscotch chips even the playing field, and soaking the dried apple in scotch doesn't hurt either!
This haystack recipe was from my fiance's mother. It is another tasty variation on the Haystack recipes available here. . :)
Wonderful Christmas Cookies; good any time!
The 20 minute cooking time reflects several repetitions of the approximately 5 minutes baking time for each sheet or two of cookies, depending on the capacity of your oven. It is only an approximation.
I absolutely love going to any seafood restaurant and ordering lobster bisque! It's so creamy and wonderful! When I looked up a recipe to make it for my man for Valentine's Day I was blown away by how much fat and calories are in the full flavor soup! This recipe may not be the lowest cal or low fat but it was reduced extremely!! I'm sure I could have lowered it more but I was afraid it would be as good but I could hardly taste the difference! Next time I'll make more substitutions for lower fat! I also had no access to real lobster or lobster base that some of the recipes I looked at called for but will try and find at least the base for next time.
All the comfort and joy of the traditional holiday snaps, but without corn, dairy, eggs, or gluten!
A ton of spice flavour goes into this molasses cookie batter, but with a tablespoon of ground ginger and each drop crowned with a candied piece, there is never a doubt as to what's on the plate!
Have leftover Green Tomato Brownie Muffins and some Chickpea Almond Frosting kicking around? Make these decadent truffle-like balls! Coat in chocolate and stash in the freezer for holiday gifts, or roll in cocoa or icing sugar for immediate enjoyment!
If you're a fan of the spicy Christmas cookie, you'll love these - same crunch but with more nutrition!
This is my mom's version of Julia Child's Fillet Of Sole Bonne Femme, courtesy of Julia Child! Sole poached in wine with Swiss cheese, heavy cream, mushrooms and not much else! I definitely suggest an enameled cast iron Dutch oven for this, as it evenly distributes the heat.
The maligned, knobbly vegetable known as celeriac or celery root is very mild in flavour, especially when cooked (like a slightly nutty potato). Paired with standard potatoes and sliced onions in a scalloped-style dish, it's so delectable you'll wonder why you haven't tried it before!
Found and modified from a recipe at Kate in the Kitchen (http://cooknkate.wordpress.com/2008/12/22
/national-date-nut-bread-day/) who found it at AllRecipes. I've done it both with and without the added sugar - it depends on how sweet your dates taste and how big your sweet tooth is! Let it stand (unwrapped, if possible) at room temperature to decrease the "sticky" factor and soften the nuts a bit. Definitely avoid plastic bags though... they will breed mould like crazy!
This is delicious warmed for breakfast over the week too.
