Christmas/4 recipes

Three delicious autumn quick breads are made with same bread base but different fillings. They are all super moist and tasty, and they don't last long in our house.

Chickpea, pinto beans, sweet potato and spinach are slowly cooked in crock pot with cumin, coriander, lemon juice and honey. It's an ideal weekday dinner, just throw everything into your crock pot, and push the start button. By the time you are home after work, your hearty and delicious dinner is served.

Freaking Amazing!!!

A delicious meat pie is great at Christmas. Feel free to use ground beef, pork, lamb or a combination of different meats. Make a few of these meat pies a few weeks in advance, then freeze them in the freezer. Reheat it in the oven directly out of the freezer just before serving.

A great way to use up day old bread. A savory version of bread pudding with spinach and mushrooms that's cheesy delicious.

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

It was so flavorful, instead of broth, we used canned tomato. Served the stew with homemade whole wheat bread, yum.
