Don't you just love the Holidays!
Holiday recipes are my favorite! I have a few traditional dishes that I always make for Christmas and Thanksgiving. But I spend hours looking for new flavors to combine or different ways to cook a turkey or glaze a ham.
You should see me when I go on my New Years Eve and Superbowl Sunday menu hunt, you'd think the President was coming! And if he were to stop by, I'd make sure to serve these tasty little morsels for the First Lady...we won't tell her they cost just 9 cents each. We'll just mention they're low-fat... and she can eat two!
Instant friends, right?!
