Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding

December 13, 2019 by Faith 23 Comments

This Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding recipe tastes just like a cinnamon bun! It has a gooey cinnamon swirl lacing through custardy bread pudding, and is topped with a rich frosting. It’s the perfect holiday breakfast or special-occasion brunch!

Cinnamon buns are right up there with bagels + cream cheese for me as far as favorite special occasion breakfasts go.…

Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette with Cornish Hens and Decorative Salt and Pepper Shakers on Wooden Table

Roasted Winter Squash Salad with Spiced Walnuts, Red Currants, and Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette is a beautiful way to highlight the earthy, sweet, and subtly nutty flavor of roasted squash. Last but certainly not least when it comes to my holiday meal for four is this salad recipe I’m sharing. It’s quite a simple salad, but there’s something about winter squash in general and delicata squash in particular that always wins my vote....

Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins

Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins with Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens

Aromatic with orange and spices, this Orange and Toasted Almond Saffron Rice Pilaf with Golden Raisins is the perfect balance of sweet and savory! The secret ingredient that takes it over the top is a little splash of orange blossom water right before serving. In keeping with my exotic, intimate holiday meal, this one of the side dish stars of the show. Some kind of pilaf is a necessary component along with my Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce; it acts as a bed to soak up all that glorious stew-like liquid....

Persian Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce with Golden Pilaf on Wooden Table

Persian-Inspired Cornish Hens with Pomegranate Walnut Sauce is all about that rich, velvety, nuanced sauce. It’s slow food cooked with love, and perfect for a unique twist on holiday entertaining.  This year I decided I wanted to feature a beautiful holiday meal that serves just four people. It’s equally appropriate for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or any time you’re having an intimate festive gathering....

Apple Rosemary Brined Roast Turkey

November 9, 2016 by Faith 8 Comments

Diestel Family Turkey Ranch provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Flavorful and juicy Apple Rosemary Brined Roast Turkey will make a gorgeous centerpiece for your family’s holiday table. The Thanksgiving I remember best isn’t because the meal was the most delicious. Actually, quite the opposite because my sister and I had no idea how to cook the stuffing, let alone the turkey. It was my […]...

Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Dark Cherry Sauce + Hazelnut

November 22, 2013 by Faith 22 Comments

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, if you’re anything like me, I bet you’ve been scouring the internet for new side dish ideas. Of course there are the ever-present sides on our holiday table, like butternut squash puree, some variant of stuffing (cornbread-based stuffing seems to be everyone’s favorite), and some form of bean casserole (usually green bean casserole, but for some reason that hasn’t been such a hit for the past couple of years). And Brussels sprouts, which is my dad’s contribution to our meal; my mom hates them and refuses to go near them, but since they’re a favorite of his, my dad takes on […]...

Christmas Dinner for Two: Vanilla-Maple Glazed Cornish Hens, Spiced Yams, and Braised Red Cabbage with Cherries

December 10, 2010 by Faith 39 Comments

I absolutely love everything about this time of year…the festivities, the family time, the food.  I’ve noticed that when it comes to holiday feasts, it doesn’t matter whether you’re making a banquet for a group of twenty friends or an intimate meal to enjoy with your love; the truly magical thing is getting to share a beautiful meal with someone special.  A dear friend of mine recently asked me to put together a Christmas dinner for two; I happily agreed (developing recipes and menus is pretty much my all-time favorite thing to do!) and Cornish hen immediately came to mind.  Specifically, I thought of Cornish […]...
