Christmas Bread Pudding with Dark Rum Sauce

Bread pudding might seem like kind of a boring dessert at first glance, but my Christmas Bread Pudding with Dark Rum Sauce truly is bursting with flavor. Different types of dried fruit like cherries and golden raisins add different flavor notes, but I also like to add nutmeg, cinnamon, and fresh orange zest for warmth and brightness.

Easy Homemade Crème Fraîche

Crème fraîche (French for—you guessed it—”fresh cream”) is basically just cultured or soured heavy cream. That’s it. It makes a super simple topping with tons of applications in the kitchen. And by the way, it’s freakin’ delicious.

Mary’s Maple Tintoretto: Pomegranate Bellini Cocktail

I’m always looking for ways to incorporate pomegranate into recipes. I love the sweet and slightly tart flavor of a fresh pomegranate—so pleasant. And then, of course, there’s my love for prosecco. This combination is a variation on the classic Bellini cocktail.

Wintry Gluten-free White Bean and Ham Soup

Wintry Gluten-free White Bean and Ham Soup

When the weather gets chilly, it's time to dust off the soup recipes. I love soup on a chilly fall day and it's even better on a dark, frigid winter night. This White Bean and Ham Soup recipe usually makes an appearance after any holiday gathering where I served my honey-glazed ham because I don’t let that ham bone go to waste!

Holiday Favorites: Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

One time, I made these for a friend of mine who cooks as much as I do. She took the recipe home with her to Istanbul, Turkey. She makes them all the time and still tells me that they are the best biscuits she’s ever had!

Simple Honey Mustard Glazed Ham

I recently started to make this ham recipe and I’m so in love with it that it’s now part of my Thanksgiving dinner (move over, turkey). The extra step to get the right ham is totally worth it. The honey mustard glaze is easy to make, and you can use the leftover hambone for soup later!
