Seasoned Greetings!

Great ideas for holiday brunches, cocktail parties, and family entertaining fill our offerings for you this time around. Find great ideas for your holiday menus:

Festive Breakfast: Part Seven

Give yourself an early Christmas present. Let breakfast take care of itself. Assemble a quick strata the night before in less than twenty minutes, cover it and put it in the refrigerator, and pop it in the oven the next morning. While it bakes, put out fresh fruit, muffins, and any beverages you might like and you've got a festive holiday brunch with next to no fuss! Merry Christmas!

How to Spice Yams and Sweet Potatoes and Use Them in Leftovers

Sweet potatoes are for more than special holiday dinners. They are delicious, nutritious, and versatile. Find out how to use these widely-available fall and winter treats for everything from sweet potato pancakes to sweet potato soup. And then there's my favorite: sweet potato chips.

Sandra Lee's Holiday Recipes

With two new cookbooks out for the holiday season, Sandra Lee has your entertaining needs covered without breaking the bank. Enjoy a selection of recipes from Money Saving Meals & Round 2 Recipes and Easy Entertaining at Home to help make your season bright. These delicious recipes are all quick and simple, so the host can spend less time in the kitchen and more time welcoming family and friends.

Mapping Flavor

Ever wonder about regional cuisine and what ties it together and makes it unique from other types of food? Researchers at the University of Cambridge wondered, too. They set out to map the flavors people experience in cooking and look for similarities and differences. What they found is fascinating and might help us all be a little more adventurous in the kitchen!

Festive Breakfast: Part Eight

Spend Christmas morning unwrapping presents and enjoying delightful cherry cheese blintzes with your family. What a lovely way to combine a variety of cultural traditions into your holiday plans and offer a decadent treat at your holiday brunch with family and friends.
