Day

With the holidays upon us – really – they are only two months away – it’s time to start planning what you’ll do with those elusive leftovers in addition to gathering Christmas lists. Unless you’re like me and wait until the absolute last minute. That Thanksgiving turkey is good as is the next day, but the day after you may feel like “no thanks” which is the consensus in my house as well. That’s why I like to compile all my old, tried and true recipes as well as a few new ones.

This turkey a la king is perfect. I never considered using turkey in place of chicken but as you know, they are practically the same. The good news is that this dish is fairly different than the usual holiday fare so it’ll be welcome by all your picky family members. This will definitely stop the whining amongst the kids, at least.

Quick Tip: Feel free to add whatever veggies you please to the mix.

What could possibly make chocolate cake better? Having a tunnel of chocolate inside! That’s what this one delivers. You will be a fan of this Tunnel of Fudge Cake. My favorite thing to do is combine it with vanilla bean ice cream, and then drizzle some caramel sauce.

I say minimally sneaky because they do sneak up on your taste buds and surprise them with flavor! My family loves eating these snakes in a blanket. All they are is basically, asparagus wrapped in Provolone, Swiss and mozzarella cheeses wrapped up cozily in a crescent dough blanket. How delicious does that sound? I knew they’d be a hit the first time I ever laid eyes on the recipe, and I’ve made them several times since – even on camping trips!

It’s true that everyone has their own recipe for meatloaf that they love and swear by, even I do! That’s why I was hesitant to try this Ribbon Meatloaf. It looked cool, and sounded good on paper but would the family enjoy it? I don’t even know what possessed me to be brave enough to try but I am so very glad I did! Cheese really does add a new dimension, and while I’ll likely still make my classic meatloaf sometimes, this is a contender and I have a feeling it may get requested again!

This is one of those throwback, 1960’s recipes that my dad absolutely loved. His mom made it for him, and then my mom took over. Now, I make this for my boys and girls and they all love it too! If you’re looking for a recipe that everyone will say WOW over then this is it. What is this delicious concoction? Why, it’s lemon chiffon cake of course!

Baked Alaska, I’d heard of it but had no clue exactly what it was. So when I came across this recipe I was eager to try. I am always looking for new treats to serve my little family, and make my kids giggle.

Pressure cooking has been around for a long time. The new cookers out today are digital and much safer than the ones from the old days. You can whip up delicious dishes such as pasta with meat sauce in just a few minutes. The time you save can be spent tossing together a salad to go as an accompaniment.
