Hogmanay Cake Good Enough For All Year
In Scotland, there’s a tradition of giving oat cakes to children on New Year’s Eve. This is the same land that gave us the traditional song “Auld Lang Syne.” This New Year tradition of the oat cake is called Hogmany.
Turkey Leftover Ideas
You can use turkey just about anywhere you’d use chicken: pizza, pasta, stir fry and more.
Southern Style Cornbread
Cornbread goes well with this holiday feast. Not only does it make great dressing, but it’s darn tasty all by itself with a little butter.
More Holiday Gift Ideas
If you think soup in a jar is a little hokey, how about homemade liqueurs? Nothing hokey about that.
After The Feast, Digestif
The European secret to surviving the feast is an after-dinner drink, called a digestif (pronounced die-jes-teef). These are liquors made to help settle an over-full tummy.
It’s Turkey Time, But You Can Chicken Out
I won’t be cooking a turkey this year. Most likely, I’ll go with a chicken. But for those of you who will be doing a turkey, there are some things you might want to think about.
First, Choose Your Menu

Begin Thanksgiving Planning Now
If you live alone, don’t be afraid to make something else. Turkey may be traditional, but you might be better off with something smaller.
Food Gift Ideas – Can It!
If money is a little tight this year and you want to give something more useful than socks, try making your own food gifts for this upcoming holiday season. Your love and friendship are immediately evident.
