  • My Favorite Christmas Recipes
    This collection of special recipes are the ones that evoke Christmas to me, no matter when I make them. They're all fun to make, although some are a bit more involved. But that's part of the fun! This is the time of year to make sure what comes out of your kitchen is simply spectacular.
  • My Grandmother Matha's Recipes
    My maternal grandmother was a fabulous baker and cook. Her recipes are ones I rely on. And her infamous Parker House Rolls are so good they just float off the plate. Enjoy these wonderful recipes.
  • My Grandmother Clara's Recipes
    My paternal grandmother was an incredible cook and baker. Her pot roast literally melted in your mouth. And her rosettes were so light and flaky they almost disappeared when you touched them! Try some of these fabulous recipes this holiday season.
  • Christmas Memories
    Both my husband's family and mine had special and unusual menus for Christmas Eve. Read about it and try them!
