Holidays/20 recipes

Nothing is better than a warm pumpkin soup at your Thanksgiving menu.

To make the kebabs, you’ll need eight 10-inch wooden or bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes. Metal skewers may overcook the lamb, so use only metal if you like your meat well done.

I will be honest, I've had my fair share of bread disasters. Probably in the high 20's by now. My bread maker was a gift from the heavens. However...something about making my own bread is just so satisfying. I feel like dancing around with butter dripping down my face and my slice of bread held high singing I maaade this baaaby!!!!!" This recipe is idiot proof, my wiener dog could probably figure it out...ok no. This bread is rustic looking and delicious!

Turkey topped with creamy fresh Chavrie and tangy, sweet cranberries. Just perfect for Thanksgiving!

This colorful chutney is a wonderful rendition, particularly during the holiday season. You can store the finished product in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Many thanks to AquaExerciser friend, Lorelyn, for sharing this delicious concoction!!

This refreshing drink packs a punch!

Pumpkin Cake recipe

An Italian Christmas is not complete without this high-domed cylinder of fruit-studded sweet bread.

So easy, so simple, and so deliciously creamy. An easy alfredo sauce enriched with garlic coats the tortellini. Best of all, it's ready in 20 minutes flat!

A delicious recipe for the perfect Thanksgiving dinner.

Eat heartily, accompanied by much loud Italian conversation. In fact, I typed this accompanied by much loud Italian conversation. My parents were here, and both were shouting instructions over my shoulder. They disagreed about the arrangement of the lettuce - my mother said that the hole in the middle of the platter was necessary; my father insisted that it wasn't, saying you can just dump the tuna on top of the lettuce. I finally had to give up on this reply until they went home. So now, in the peace and quiet of the aftermath, I've finished it. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

Have these delicious yet healthy whole wheat pancakes for breakfast, topped with maple candies pecans, fresh pineapples and kiwi fruit.

Cranberries and pears are a great pair. They make this deliciously fruity filling, and it tastes great with the buttery and flakey pastry. It's as delicious as an apple pie.
