Sweet Baked Ham

February 11, 2010

I’m not the biggest ham fan in the world. I just don’t like the salty flavor of most ham dishes, but this recipe is quite different. You soak the ham overnight in Cold Duck Sparkling Wine (a mixture of different wines and champagne) that leaches the salt out of the ham. Then you bake the [...]

Turkey and White Bean Chili

February 10, 2010

This is a wonderful, healthy, chili recipe that gets wonderful notes of heat from the jalapeño pepper and spices, that goes amazingly with the cooling hints of cilantro.

This is one of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving recipes that I look forward to every year. This year I came to the realization that it was just far too good a dish to serve only once a year. I’ve tried it on the side of roasts and different chicken dishes and love it every time [...]

Orange Tangerine Cranberry Sauce

January 6, 2010

In the last few years I have grown to love cranberry sauce. There’s something about that tart, sweet, combination that just hits the spot.

This is one of those dishes that gets me invitations to every holiday party in the neighborhood. I get requests every year from friends and family to make this recipe, and this has become the staple dessert at my families Thanksgivings and Christmas Eve dinners.
