My Holiday Recipes
Welcome to Flying Cloud! Please subscribe to my RSS feed and thanks for visiting!
In case you plan on turkey for the Christmas/New Years holidays, these are my favorite recipes:
- Tom Colicchio’s Herb-butter Turkey - yummy! I used rosemary, thyme, sage and oregano this year for the herbs. Make the gravy base and the butter the day before.
- Buttermilk Corn Bread with sage, perfect for stuffing. Make the day before.
- Sage Stuffing - I leave out the livers, use a little less butter, stir in the leftover veggies from the gravy base in the turkey recipe, and use whatever fresh herbs I found for the herb-butter. You can also make this the day before and just stuff the bird before you put it in the oven. Any leftover can go in a casserole dish and into the oven for an hour before serving.
- Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges with Rosemary simple and delicious - I would let it cook longer than the recipes states, though. Seems like this could be made the day before and just heated up before the meal.
Include mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, a nice Pinot Noir and you have a delicious and not to complicated holiday meal. I served veggies and dip and bread and cheese to keep people from starving before the meal. Mom’s apple pie, pumpkin bread, and Gram’s chocolate/coconut/gram cracker death bars for dessert. Can’t wait to eat it again!
I love to cook - what are your favorite holiday recipes? Also, I’d love suggestions for wines to serve with turkey.
