 | Coquito | Coquito is a Puerto Rican drink that's similar to eggnog, but has a coconut base and rum instead of bourbon or brandy. One cookbook author calls it "Puerto Rican moonshine." This recipe is the Mangual-Rios Family's version. | |
 | Spanish Pork Chops with Linguica Corn Stuffing and Wine Gravy | This dish is delicious and satisfying because you get salty, sweet and savory in each and every bite. Green beans are a good choice of side. | |
 | Baklava | A Greek favorite that makes everyone think you are a master chef -- and it's so easy to make! | |
 | Grilled Lamb Kebabs with Pistachio | Though many consider the kebab as street food, this recipe offers a gourmet twist: ground lamb stuffed with pistachios, lemon zest and spices like cumin. | |
 | Soft Molasses Cookies | These Soft Molasses Cookies from The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion achieve their perfect soft cookie texture from being pulled out of the oven while the centers are still soft and quite puffy. | |
 | Classic Sugar Cookies | The holidays are full of great cookies, but no one cookie represents the season better than the sugar cookie. I think it's because the sugar cookie acts as a blank canvas just yearning for some holiday flare. | |
 | Amazingly Good Eggnog | This eggnog recipes uses cooked eggs for safety, and you can use more or less rum to taste. It's a bit of work to make, but well worth it. You'll never buy store-bought eggnog again! | |
 | Rustic Pesto Tart | Talk about easy! Almost everything in this tart is store-bought. Although it can be enjoyed shortly after leaving the oven, it's just as good at room temperature. | |
 | Red and Green Quiche Bites | Quiche is delicious and easy to make, and these appetizers are perfect for the holidays. The recipe is small, but it can be easily doubled, tripled or even quadrupled with no difference in quality or flavor. | |
 | Double Tomato Bruschetta | A delicious and easy appetizer. The balsamic vinegar gives it a little bite. Dried basil can be substituted but it's best with fresh. | |
 | Chestnut Souffle with Brandy Custard Sauce | Individual chestnut souffles are topped with a rich brandy custard sauce for an elegant dessert. | |
 | Wolfgang Puck's Braised Chestnuts | Braised chestnuts with onions and wine may be served whole as a side dish or riced into a puree. | |
| Chestnut Ravioli | Pastry pillows of chestnut puree, chocolate, amaretto, almonds and candied fruit are deep-fried for an unusual dessert. | ||
 | Judy's Cheese Bread | There is nothing more wickedly delicious than a loaf of sourdough bread that's been spiked with half a pound of jack cheese and drizzled with butter. We've found it's wonderful with soup, with chili, and even on its own as an appetizer. Because it is cut into chunks before baking, it's easy to pull it apart right at the table. Make two -- and you might just have enough. | |
 | Enchilada Dip | This hearty dip is made with refrigerated cheese, nutritious meat and beans and enchilada sauce instead of salsa (because it has none of those peppery chunks that can make kids skittish). The recipe makes lots — try spooning leftovers over pasta or rice. | |
 | Butternut Squash Soup | With just a hint of curry, this gorgeous soup smells almost as wonderful as it tastes. You can make it in large batches and freeze it for a quick supper all winter long. Add a crusty loaf of bread and a salad and you're got a light, satisfying meal. This would also make for an elegant first course at your holiday feast. | |
 | Gingered Cranberry Relish | This fresh relish bursts with sweet-tart flavor. Plus, it only takes about 5 minutes to throw together, freeing up precious time for other Thanksgiving-day cooking. | |
 | Sweet Potato Souffle | This classic southern dish is deservedly showcased at many a holiday feast. Though sweet potatoes might taste like dessert, they are actually packed with nutrients, including vitamins A and C, and most kids will readily gobble them up, especially when prepared this way. |
