Linguine alla Bolognese

On the Menu Today~
Linguine alla Bolognese

Over the years, we have replaced the usual appetizer spread and
grilled tenderloin steak dinner on Christmas Eve with an Italian style dinner.
Opting for a big pan of cheesy lasagna or a big bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce..
sounds much better than standing outside, huddled around the grill for warmth or
munching on yet another potato chip smothered in french onion dip..



Another advantage of making an Italian-style dinner...
everything can be prepared ahead of time...
keeping you out of the kitchen and
leaving you with more time to spend with family.
Plus, left-overs are great to serve the next day.


Hope you'll enjoy this recipe for Linguine alla Bolognese...
Served with a small side salad, Pull Apart Pesto Garlic Bread and
finish off this delicious dinner with a Classic Italian Mascarpone Torta.
You'll have a Christmas dinner everyone will love.

Cranberry Bratwurst Bites in a Cranberry Jezebel Sauce
Easy Holiday Party Recipe
Sunday Supper Movement
Hosted by: Cricket Plunkett from
Crickets Confections
Thanks Cricket!

Cranberry Bratwurst Bites are
smothered in a sweet, tart. sassy sauce called:
Cranberry Jezebel Sauce.


Cranberry Jezebel Sauce is exactly as the name suggests...
Sweet, Tart, Sassy, Fruity and Spicy...
Just like Jezebel herself.


Cranberry Jezebel Sauce is:
Sweet: from both granulated and dark brown sugar...
Tart: from the whole cranberries...
Sassy: from the Bee Sting Irish Whiskey...
Fruity: from the seedless blackcurrant preserves and
Spicy: from the prepared horseradish and Dijon mustard...
The ingredient list might sound somewhat strange but
believe you me, it's fantastic~

Fun Sandwiches to Make with Kids

On the Menu Today~
Fun Sandwiches to Make with Kids~


Over the holidays,
with all the adult themed, fancy appetizers and drinks,
we forget to make something special for our kids to eat.
I don't know about your kids but
mine didn't want anything to do with pickled herring,
shrimp cocktail dip, reuben dip or lil' smokies in a spicy sauce.
They would fill up on potato chips and dip, cheese and crackers,
and way too much chocolate candy.


This year, why not make your kids and
grandkids a tray of sandwiches.
This is a fun way to make and to serve
cheese and meat sandwiches for the holidays.
Your kids will enjoy helping you cut out the fun shapes and
they'll enjoy eating them too.
Kids always enjoy eating what they make!


The size of the cookie cutters you use will depend on
the size of your slices of cheese and luncheon meat.
(use your favorite kind of cheese and luncheon meat)
You can purchase pre-sliced packages of cheese and luncheon meat,
have your favorite deli slice your favorite cheese and lunch meat for you or
purchase cheese and lunch meat in bulk and slice them yourself at home.


No matter how you slice it....(pun intended)
this is fun and easy way to serve your kids sandwiches,
anytime of the year!

Maple Shortbread with Maple Glaze

On the Menu Today~
Maple🍁 Shortbread with Maple Glaze


Maple Shortbread are prepared
in this decorative shortbread baking pan by Nordicware.
I don't even remember where or when I purchased this pan.
(I'm pretty sure I found it at the Dig n' Dive🙂)




Recently, we have started to remodel our kitchen (again) and
I found this pan in the back of a cabinet that I very seldom open.
One of those "lost in space" cabinets.


I have several Nordicware pans,
so I was surprised when I found this pan...
Surprised and happy...
I was thrilled that I found the pan when it was in "season" and
not in the summer months,
when it would have no doubt been lost to me again...
I couldn't wait to try out my "new" shortbread pan.


Maple Shortbread are buttery and delicious.....
the Maple Glaze gives the shortbread
just the right amount of sweet, maplely goodness.🍁

Even though Maple🍁 season is technically in the spring,
I always associate maple and maple syrup with winter...
Maybe that's because maple syrup is drizzled over so many
wintery comfort foods such as; pancakes, waffles, and french toast.
Maple syrup is also delicious when added to frosting or glaze.
The following recipe for Maple Glaze,
would also be perfect over cookies or cake.
