Holiday

The classic shrimp cocktail gets a twist with a spicy, fresh Mexican pico de gallo and baked homemade sweet potato chips.

A fresh, clean take on green beans, lightly sprinkled with organic sesame seeds and ginger.

These roasted organic Brussels sprouts are perfectly paired with a sage brown butter dipping sauce.

Rosemary has been used for hundreds of years in folk medicine and aromatherapy to enhance memory and cognitive function. In cooking, its assertive flavor goes especially well with meat and root vegetables.

This Asian-inspired dip is versatile enough to use with any of our chips, and it just might be the easiest dip you've ever made – simply pop all the ingredients into a blender with a splash of water, whiz it up and you're done.

There's a new steak in town – and, surprisingly, it's made from cauliflower. Here we cut the cruciferous veggie into thick 
steaks, coat it with spices then roast it 'til golden for maximum caramelization (read: flavor).

Apple cider and Dijon mustard give this chicken dish the ultimate sweet-and-savory 
flavor, while a colorful mix of kale, carrots and parsnips makes it extra-hearty and 
nutritious. To save money, buy skin-on chicken thighs and simply remove the skin yourself.

Runny egg yolks, crispy bacon and garlicky croutons come together to 
make this cleaned-up take on a traditional French bistro salad.

This intensely flavorful dish is a cross between two classic French meals: beef bourguignon and coq au vin. For best results, use a good-quality red wine – ideally, Burgundy. If you have butcher’s twine on hand, use it to tie the thyme sprigs together for easy removal once the stew is done.

Roasting mushrooms intensifies their umami-rich flavor and gives them a meaty 
texture, making this meatless main an all-around palate-pleaser.

Dressing (aka stuffing) has long served as a faithful sidekick to turkey. Here, the side steals the show in traditional meatballs, lending moist texture and tons of flavor.

A handful of pantry staples and a few fresh veggies are all you need to transform leftover turkey breast into this quick and satisfying take on the classic pasta dish.

Trust us, this isn’t your grandmother’s turkey pot pie! Our easy version is 
made from start to finish in the same skillet, making cleanup a breeze – 
plus, our fluffy biscuits are a nice change-up to the traditional pastry 
topping. If you have green beans leftover from your holiday meal, 
you can use them instead of the peas.

Customize these whole-grain muffins by using your choice of cranberry sauce, but we love the 
kick from our Grapefruit & Cranberry Sauce on page 55. You’ll want to make a double batch 
of cranberry sauce this year to make certain you have extra for these treats!

Can’t decide between chocolate and pumpkin pie for your holiday gathering? This dessert has both with a velvety pumpkin filling 
and beautiful swirls of rich, dark chocolate.

A traditional English dish, bubble and squeak was created as a way to use up Sunday's mashed potatoes along with just about any other leftover veggies. 
We put a healthy, Indian-inspired spin on the classic with these potato and kale patties subtly spiced with a blend of ginger and curry powder.

Brussels sprouts are often paired with smoky bacon, but here we’ve created an amazing bacon-like flavor using a sneaky seasoning mix and shiitake mushrooms. Served over roasted Brussels sprouts and apples, this makes a memorable dish at the holiday table.

Put a Swedish twist on your spuds with this centuries-old technique that yields a dish similar to a baked potato but with slits cut into it for the buttery toppings to drip down into and cover every delicious crevice.

Here’s a stunning salad that incorporates the flavors of the season – cranberries, toasted hazelnuts and an orange maple dressing.

A classic gratin is a gorgeous addition to any holiday table. Ours has a crispy panko topping infused with lemon zest and rosemary.

Roasted chestnuts add seasonal flair to this traditional 
gratin with celery root and carrots.

Sweet potatoes are counterbalanced by pungent Gorgonzola cheese and savory turkey bacon in these rich twice-baked sweet potatoes.

This pungent mash features lightly 
sweet turnips in the leading role.

The humble crumble gets dressed up for the holidays with almonds and almond 
extract in the topping and a touch of cardamom in the whipped cream. Look for pears that 
are ripe but not overly so – they should be tender at the stem, but not mushy.
