Holidays/6 recipes

Old Pecan Street Pecan Pie recipe

Fruity, creamy, smooth, satisfying...This easy to make dessert has almost all the satisfactions in it. Definitely not hard to indulge into a second one or even a third. Hmm, yum!

Holiday Gingerbread Waffles recipe

"Kohlrouladen" used to be a staple on the menu for regular people in Germany during winter time. The relatively long preparation and cooking time pays out, because it can be easily reheated over a couple of days and gets even better and tastier then. Fried potatoes complete the picture, but you can cook the potatoes also in the pot with the sauce, if there is space left. This recipe can be varied in many ways, be it the stuffing (ground meat here), or the sauce. The recipe is as traditional as it can be; the ingredients are adjusted to availability in North America (like Savoy cabbage in lieu of "Weisskohl", bacon to replace "Speckwuerfel"). For sure the ground meat can vary depending on preferences or diets - I bet quite often in the "good old times " regular people did not exactly know what's in the ground meat they got from the butcher - at least it was some meat, for most of the families only once a week.

Found this recipe in donna hay magazine, and I just happened to have all the ingredients this recipe called for. I did make a few changes and cook it differently. The frittata came out delicious, but next time I will cook it on the stove top first to give a nicely browed bottom, then broil at the last a few minutes.

Perfect for feeding a crowd and easily scaled to feed a larger crowd. No spices to disagree with anyone, just solid belly warming filling goodness.

Crispy and crunchy. These snowballs are made with peanut butter, chunks of peanuts, raisins and puffed rice cereal. They are delicious treats for kids or grown-up :)

These tacos were delicious! Made them for a recent family dinner, and everyone at the table just kept asking for more. Thank goodness that I had enough to cover everyone's appetite :)

Perfect in the fall when pumpkins start appearing in the markets. The cookies turn out cake-like and golden. The gentle mix of pumpkin and cinnamon works well with the chocolate chips.

I tried this pumpkin pie last week, it turned out delicious. At Thanksgiving I will make this pumpkin pie for my family, I bet they will love it.

Dolly Parton's Sugar Cookies recipe

This simple and quick spread is perfect to serve at any upcoming holiday party! It's chunk chicken, chopped apple, chutney and peanuts are bound with a curry-laced mayonnaise.

What's for dessert at Christmas day? How about some homemade candy cane ice cream? It's made of low-fat milk, egg yolks and crushed candy cane. It's creamy and silky, crushed candy cane adds some crunch and minty sweetness. Don't have to pay high price for hagen daz, this is as good as hagen daz, and it's lower fat.

This flavorful and tasty stir-fry takes no time to cook, a wonderful meatless dish can be served with rice, noodles or steamed buns.

Keep enjoying the warmth of summer days with this colorful dish!
