This delicious meal is perfect for the month of March (or really anytime of the year as it really is tasty). With St. Patrick's Day being on March 17th, why not start the celebration early with this incredible slow cooker recipe? The recipe (which I found in the Irish Cooking Bible cookbook) calls for a bottle of Irish stout beer and is simple to make. It also is perfect with my garlic and herb mashed potatoes. These fall-off-the-bone ribs will be an instant hit with frie

Raspberry and chocolate are a perfect marriage of flavors. There is something about the sweetness of the berries and the richness of the chocolate that gets our taste buds salivating. I found this rich chocolate dessert recipe on a Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate bar. It is a very easy pie to make, and my family absolutely loved it. With only 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of your time, you will have a beautiful and delicious pie! This would also make an amazing dessert for V

I have been making these cookies for many years now. They have become a holiday favorite with my family. When you take your first bite into one of these mouthwatering cookies, you will understand why these cookies are always on my baking list for Christmas. What makes these decadent cookies unique is the browning of the butter. The browned butter adds a depth and richness to the flavor of these Christmas cookies that cannot be beat! They really are extraordinarily good.

These potatoes are an absolute favorite among my family and friends! They are the perfect mashed potatoes for the Christmas holidays. If you love garlic, this is most definitely the dish for you. The recipe calls for garlic herb butter - which means that it is no more extra work than your usual mashed potatoes. There is no messing with garlic cloves, and extra steps as the butter is all that's needed. This butter really does make these mashed potatoes shine. Rich and cr

This is a beautiful and elegant main dish for any celebration. It especially works as a great Christmas meal. Beef tenderloin is a special cut of meat that is absolutely delicious when prepared properly. My recipe will give you a well seasoned and tender dish that you and your guests will love! The secret is rubbing Kosher salt onto the beef and letting it sit uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. This process will tenderize your meat, making it the best y

This is my favorite part about left over turkey - making soup! I have been making this soup for over 25 years, and I hope to be making it for many more years to come! It is a delight to the eyes and to the taste buds. I served this soup to a large family gathering not to long ago, and everyone loved this meal. Serve it with crusty artisan bread, and it makes a hearty meal that will fill up anyone. If you have never made stock, I encourage you to give it a try. It is ver

For years I bought the canned cranberry sauce for our Thanksgiving meal. With a big meal to prepare, I didn't want to be bothered with something that people seemed to enjoy from a can. Then I read that cranberry sauce can be made a couple months in advance, and it keeps well in the refrigerator. With this enlightening information, I decided to try out a recipe. This simple recipe comes from the Serious Eats website. It is simple to prepare, and it is just as good, if not

In America, turkey is a must for Thanksgiving! It is a tradition to get together with family and friends and give thanks for what we have, while we eat a big meal. The turkey is often the center piece of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It is also sometimes made for Christmas too, depending on preferences. Preparing and roasting a turkey can be intimidating, especially when you are entertaining guests at the same time. This recipe however is simple and delicious. It is

This is one of those recipes that takes a bit more effort, but the results are worth it! I confess that for many years, I bought the pre-packaged stuffing/dressing at the store. A few of my family members thought that they didn't like stuffing/dressing, until I decided to make it by scratch. The nice thing about this recipe is you can make it a day ahead of time. This is great, because we all know holiday cooking can be exhausting! I usually get another person to help wit
