Cranberry Cream Pie
Cranberries need not be limited to sauces. Their intense color and flavor, combined with a creamy, no bake filling, make a spectacular pie. This was one of Deana’s favorite a few years ago. She would give it to her friends on their birthdays. It’s kind of gone under the radar the past few years which…
Pumpkin-Molasses Muffins
These moist velvety muffins taste best when served with Ginger-Honey Butter! Delicious for breakfast or make them in a mini pan and serve as part of a tea-party tray.
Prime Rib Roast
I think if you follow the rules for rare beef, you will have the greatest luck in the world with it. When you buy a rib roast, calculate that one rib will serve 2 persons, so for six, you will need a 3 rib roast. The timetable for roasting by this method is approximately 15…
Eggnog Cake
Can you imagine getting seventy fabulous pieces of cake from one recipe of batter? Drenched with a heady brandy-and-rum glaze, these moist, nutmeg-scented squares don’t need garnishing. But a rosette of hard sauce assures that they are irresistible, and a family favorite.
Swiss Cheese Fondue
I think fondue is a great vehicle for conversation around the table, besides being good to eat. If you don’t have a fondue pot use a slow cooker to keep your cheese at a good dipping temperature. Use a variety of breads for dipping as well as blanched vegies, crisp fruits, soft pretzels and cooked…
Hearts of Palm Salad
This salad tastes good and looks beautiful. It is particularly good for a first course served on individual plates. The vegies should be done ahead of time to marinate, then just top on fresh crisped lettuce and grate blue cheese over the top. The green zucchini and red tomatoes make it particularly appropriate for Christmas.
Honey Buttered Chicken Wings
This is an old chicken wing recipe. It was a real go-to for years. The boys would eat so many they would build log cabins on their plates with the bones! Then came the chicken wing craze to make them the hottest, spiciest thing you could eat and these kind of fell by the wayside…
7 Layer Salad
This salad is a McGowan favorite. It’s one of Jeff’s specialties. It is a must at Thanksgiving dinner! The make -a-head feature is as appealing as the taste. A real winner!!!!!
Cream Puffs
This is a basic recipe for cream puffs. The size you choose to make them will determine their function, ie; dessert, appetizer, etc. This recipe may be easily multiplied. I have often made it using appropriate quantities in ratio to 6 eggs. I’ve stuffed miniatures with chicken salad for appetizers, or filled them with a…
Cranberry Tarts
Foolproof cream-cheese pastry bakes into layers of flaky crispness. Filled with vibrant cooked cranberries, these miniature pies bring Christmas sparkle to any dessert tray.
Frosted Brownie Squares
Rich, moist, and totally chocolaty, these squares are blanketed with a sleek, satiny chocolate glaze. They are the ultimate chocolate cake/ brownie, great for a dessert platter or tea party.
