Cannoli Filling
Recipe by:
Anthony
The sweetest treat of the Italian bakery. If you can't make it to Little Italy (or Big Italy) make it in your own kitchen.
Judy's Clam Dip
Recipe by:
KYMike
My mother prepared this dish (along with another simple appetizer consisting of chilled cocktail shrimp stuck with festive toothpicks along side a dish of cocktail sauce) every Christmas as far back as I can remember. It is a creamy, savory blend of easy-to-find ingredients that showcases the rich flavor of the clams. Stay with the mentioned brands and you'll never be disappointed. Serve with Ruffles(R) Original potato chips.
Mini Beef Wellington Hors D’Oeuvres
I love the richness and elegance of Beef Wellington, particularly for fancy winter dinners. Beef Wellington, if you haven’t had it before, is a medium rare slab of steak, topped with fois gras and mushrooms, then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. The dish can be an expensive proposition, so I’ve transformed it into economical hors d’oeuvres.
Candy Apple Martini

A fun martini for apple schnapps lovers. It may remind you of those old carnival treats!
Hot Buttered Rum
This drink makes me look forward to blizzards. Nothing's better during a white out than to whip up a batch of buttered rum and sit warm by the window or fire.
Hot Toddy
In winter, this cocktail is the cure for whatever ails you.
Coffee Grog
This drink combines a few of my favorite things: coffee, rum, and brandy. One of the great winter drinks.
Eggnog
When the holidays roll around, this is the one. And it’s so rich and creamy, once a year is enough.
Death in the Afternoon, the Cocktail
Apparently, Ernest Hemingway invented this one. It is named after his book about bullfighting, but it also stands as fair warning against actually drinking this cocktail in the afternoon, or indeed any time of day.
French 75 Cocktail
During World War I, there was a nasty piece of artillery that the French would point at the Germans and shoot, rapidly. It was called the French 75.
Irish Coffee
Incidentally, not the way the Irish take their coffee. But still, a delicious drink.
Cranberry and Feta Cheese Salad
Recipe by:
Passion to cook
Romaine lettuce, yellow and red bell peppers, feta cheese, with sun dried tomatoes and dried cranberries, a few slices of cucumbers on top.
Sidecar Cocktail
One of the great cocktails, the brandy sidecar. Don't fear the sugary rim.
