Holiday/6 recipes

My mother and I made these cookies when I was little, many years ago, using the box of dry mincemeat. I have looked for years for the recipe, they are the best cookies ever!!!

A delicious kind of salad made with mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, flaked coconut and whipped topping.

An upscale low-carb, gluten-free version of an easy tuna casserole. Whip together an easy crustless tuna quiche with just cheese, eggs and milk.

An Eastern European pastry with a rich history and cultural significance. They are traditionally made from a simple dough consisting of cream cheese, butter, and flour, and filled with sweet fillings like jam, nuts, or cheese.

These cookies are buttery and flakey, love the walnut filling that gives the cookies just enough nuttiness and sweetness. Well balanced flavor, and cute little pockets, just can not have enough of them.

So quick and the cream sauce was spectacular. Just a hint of mustard and the fresh herbs really brought it to life. I cut down on the cream and it still made plenty of sauce. Worthy of licking the plate clean, although I used some french bread to sop it up!

I have made a Thanksgiving goose every year for at least 15 years. I have steadily gained on making the perfect bird but I finally found the greatest recipe ever in Cook's Magazine. The divine part of this approach to cooking the goose is that it employs some of the eastern method of drying the skin which is used in Peking Duck. The skin simply drops all its fat and leaves a crispy, dry, delectable skin that folks fight over! No more rubbery, yucky goose skin full of fat!

Traditionally baked during 'Sinterklaas', a feast on 5 December (6 December in Belgium and Germany) on which little children receive gifts from the holy St. Nicholas, the partial inspiration for Santa Claus. In Germany, Pfeffernüsse are traditionally made during the Christmas season.

Just like Santa, I have big orders to fill when it comes to the holidays. Everyone wants me to make them some.

This homemade cranberry sauce is better than anything you get from a can!

It's not the double-down, but it's as close as you can get! The ultimate crunch and moistest lean pork chops you will ever experience.

Perfectly cooked juicy pork tenderloin marinated in mustard and thyme served with a white wine cream sauce. This sauce is perfect for the pork and any sides such as steamed potatoes and carrots.

A delicious holiday drink made with apple cider, orange juice and a bit of brandy.

Spumoni cookies are a creative twist on the classic Italian dessert, featuring the same delightful combination of cherry, chocolate, and pistachio flavors.

Salmon is rich in omega 3 and is becoming more and more popular in our normal cooking, in this recipe we use salmon and scallops with the delicious shallot sauce, easy and simple to make, and very flavorful.

Very nice, just finished making (and eating this recipe). Worth the trouble to make your own hollandaise sauce. The presentation is very nice and not too hard.
