"When the cookie tray needs some sparkle, turn to this festive recipe. A Christmas classic goes from traditional to fabulous when dipped in melted white chocolate and rolled in nonpareils and edible glitter. The slightly fruity treat is one of our most popular cookie recipes of all time." - description of cookie from Better Homes and Gardens.

Sounds like this is the perfect gift-giving, delicious Christmas/holiday cookie.  And it makes such a beautiful presentation.

Once again, the holidays have crept up on us!  It seems as though we just experienced the ball come down on New Years Eve.  If you are like us, you are not ready for Thanksgiving!

Join us in researching the possibilities for new ideas and recipes for this holiday season.  The following list is a work in progress that I will continue adding links throughout the season.

Please refresh page if you are returning, so the new links will show up!

Turkey Day Central

The Thanksgiving Day countdown is on!

It has been a very long time since I have had to prepare
 the Thanksgiving Day meal.  Back in the day, we always
 had an open house buffet for Thanksgiving and Christmas
 and I think I did enough holiday cooking for a lifetime!

I've compiled a list of excellent links for everything
 involving Thanksgiving and food inspiration.  

Of course, all of these links would be
 awesome for every day cooking.
