I’m going to finish up the year with yet another Taste of Home recipe, this one from the December/January 2010 issue. Since I am taking the next two weeks off for vacation and plan to be out of town part of the time, will not be posting again until Jan. 5. I chose this recipe from Barbara [...]

With Christmas Eve only a week away, everybody is super busy, especially those of you who work. Having to shop, decorate and all the other holiday-related activities, doesn’t leave much time for feeding the family. To that end, I looked for an easy meal to share today. The stew recipe below is from an old cookbook [...]

The next few weeks are going to be frantic ones and many of you are probably going to be busy with holiday parties whether it be hosting or contributing as a guest. I thought I would share a couple of appetizers today from a cookbook appropriately titled, “Best Loved Appetizers” from the Favorite Brand Name series. Through [...]

A recipe in the December/January issue of Taste of Home magazine caught my eye. It was for roasted chicken, a dish that used to be a family favorite when I was growing up. Quite often, Mother would prepare it for Sunday dinner along with a big bowl of mashed potatoes and often stuffing. I hadn’t seen [...]

One of my very most favorite things about the Christmas season is the music. I love classics like “O Holy Night” and “Away in a Manger,” pop tunes like “All I Want For Christmas is You,” and ridiculous parodies like the slightly disturbing “Aquaclaus” I recently heard to the tune of Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung.” I’ve listened [...]

Many people I know, including my own family, opt for ham as their entrée for Christmas dinner. In the November/December issue of Taste of Home’s Simple & Delicious magazine, I came across a recipe that I thought readers find appealing. The chutney called for in the recipe adds a nice sweetness to the glaze on this [...]

I am running a repeat posting from last year about this time. The reason, some people wouldn’t think of Christmas unless there was a fruitcake within easy access. Surprisingly, I heard from several people last year that tried this recipe and declared it a winner. I decided not to mess with fortune, so the following [...]

While I still have out the “Country Woman Christmas” cookbook I referenced Wednesday, thought I would share a great sounding and easy recipe for spiced up nuts. “I wasn’t satisfied with any spiced nut recipes I tried, so I created my own crunchy concoction,” wrote Janet Forden of Okotoks, Alberta. “They’re great to take to a [...]

In 2002, I featured a cookbook titled “County Woman Christmas” in my Cookbook Corner column. It not only features recipes, but easy-to-do crafts and food gift ideas to make your Yuletide season special. I was thumbing through it this week and found a recipe I thought worth sharing with Recipe Roundup readers. It is for a [...]

I am a big fan of the recipes I regularly receive from the Hunter Public Relations firm. They are usually easy to prepare with an eye on cost. I received one today I am sharing below for a great sounding holiday finger food. The Hunter release noted “this is the perfect opportunity to stretch the dollar [...]
