5 Favorite Holiday Recipes
In anticipation of Christmas next week, I’d like to share 5 favorite holiday recipes:
Granola — An endlessly riffable recipe. Try adding a pinch or two of ground cinnamon, cloves, or other wintry spices.
Dried orange ornaments — Simple to make and, as a bonus, doing so will fill your home with the uplifting scent of citrus.
Vanilla horns — My family’s favorite holiday cookie.
Homemade vanilla extract — Easy (only two ingredients!) but special (because vanilla beans are not cheap).
Gingerbread cookies — Classic cookies that are boldly spiced and a little soft in the middle.
These all make wonderful gifts! I love to tie a dried orange ornament onto a wrapped package and a string of them would be beautiful as a garland.
