What is it about holiday foods? All those goodies you consume or if you have good will power to just look at! Braver person than me!
Let's talk veggies first-- are you a Brussel Sprouts person? I wasn't for the longest time until our son turned us onto delicious sprouts with bacon jam! Oh My! Make the sprouts crispy and mix in bacon jam--you'll love it!
How do you feel about spinach? If you live in Louisiana or eat like Louisianan, then this dish is on your menu for the holidays. It is perfection for spinach lovers.
This is the first recipe from River Road Recipes and now an updated recipe
And how about that turkey stuffing! I love a good cornbread dressing. My mother in law always made oyster dressing--I didn't like it much. not that I don't like oysters but she used soda crackers as the base. I'd rather have oysters on the half shell or in a bisque
speaking of bisques here's one of our favorites that is usually served on Christmas Eve
Crab Bisque!!
Serve this with French bread!
If you live in Texas, then you're ready for Tamales! and Pozole!
My granny made a 'mean' pozole! I've never made it but sister in law makes a fairly decent Pozole.
Tamales take a village to make! Most often tamales are made after deer season so venison is the meat of choice. Love Tamales!! We wait till our friends gift us a couple dozen tamales. It isn't Christmas till you have tamales!
Whatever your tradition during the holidays, it will be a merry time!!
