After our "battles" of cooking for Thanksgiving, holiday parties, and Christmas, I think it's time we have a little post mortem of our own! What did you cook that was awesome? What did someone else cook that was awesome? Discover a new bakery or source of ham? Share with us your battle scars!
Here's something I added to my holiday cooking that I can highly recommend: Arugula, Pear, and Goat Cheese Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette
With all the heavy comfort foods that are traditional with Thanksgiving and Christmas, I certainly had been hankering for something light, green, and healthy. If you bring this to several potlucks, it makes getting yourself a box of Harry and David's Pears more than worthwhile...and with the arugula and pomegranate seeds, it looks like you're eating Christmas holly!
Your turn!

Yum! I always love a good salad! I made my usual "LemonStuff" - I go to one get-together where they won't let me go unless I bring it! Made it a second time for Christmas day. Think I need to move on to something more healthy - my pants are too tight!!
ReplyDeleteI make cream corn using Gulliver's restaurant recipe - yummy but not on any known diet!
DeleteBarbara and Sharon - those sound amazing! We need recipes! - Cassandra G.
ReplyDeleteOne recipe with nothing but compliments was my Ambrosia Fruit Salad. I think everyone knows how to make this. Cool Whip (extra creamy) and drained fruit cocktail with the addition of maraschino cherries! Love it! Good thing it is only once a year or I would look like Santa!!
