Orange marmalade is a favorite of mine. During the holidays it’s frequently added to cranberries, stuffing, and many other things. It adds amazing flavor. Lavender as an added ingredient just makes regular marmalade even different.

Easy Turkey Recipe by Robbin Webb

Sometimes we have to cook something in a pinch. Perhaps someone volunteers us, or maybe we volunteer ourselves before we realize that we aren't properly prepared.

This turkey recipe was born in one of those moments. It's easy, and you probably have the ingredients on hand. If you don't, more than likely you have a good substitute.

 The thought of cooking a turkey is all too often unnerving for a lot of people. It is, however, much easier than you think and can be done without a fancy recipe.

Candied Fruit Recipe by Beth Crace

Candied Fruit Recipe by Beth Crace

It's the holiday season when fruit cakes abound. I have always bought the container of pre-chopped, ready-to-go candied fruit to make my fruit cake. This year I decided to try a different fruit cake recipe, but there was a problem. The recipe called for candied orange peel and citron. I did not visit every store in town, but decided to give up when I did not find it after visiting a few stores.

So, after a few searches on the internet, I decided I would make my own. I was already at Algood Super Walmart, so I grabbed two oranges, two lemons and one lime. (Because the closest fruits to citron I could find was lemons and limes.) What else? Water and sugar, and I definitely had those at home.

I knew it would not be difficult, just a little time consuming to make the candied peels. So, after this discovery, I highly doubt I will ever purchase the ready-to-go concoctions, that contain high fructose corn syrup, ever again. It's so easy and I know it will make my fruit cake that much more tasty.

Red Velvet Cake Recipe by Christy Pringle

Red Velvet Cake Recipe

Red velvet cake, with it's beautiful red tint, is the perfect showstopper for your holiday table. It has a flavor that's not quite chocolate, but not quite vanilla either. It is traditionally frosted with a creamy white icing, either a butter roux frosting (sometimes referred to as cooked flour frosting) or a cream cheese frosting.
