The holiday season hasn't ended yet, even if we're all starting to normalize a bit after the chaos of shopping and wrapping and cooking and baking for Christmas. New Year's Eve is Saturday night; presumably you're either hosting a party and need to feed your guests, or you've perhaps been ...
ALISON LADMAN, For The Associated Press Feeding a crowd this New Year's Eve? Consider offering something that is richly savory, but won't weigh down the party. We started with a beautiful side of salmon, roasted it with butter and garlic, then dressed it with a warm lentil salad spiked with ...
I took this classic winter comfort food and reimagined it as a holiday party appetizer. Because when facing down party after party of relatives and dullards (you know who I'm talking about), a bite or two of comfort can help get you through the night.
The holiday season is in full swing. Commercials encourage last minute shoppers to hurry to stores for deals, Secret Santas are revealed, and the kids anticipate items from their wish lists. What really makes a holiday memorable? A good place to begin is by creating meaningful family experiences. One tradition ...
I was talking to my favorite Produce Station clerk about holiday meals the other day, and the contortions that we go through to make each aspect of the meal special. We've got the holiday napkin rings, the holiday napkins, the water pitcher, and a rare appearance by the water glasses. ...
MICHELLE LOCKE, For The Associated Press The best wines for holiday parties are like good hosts, accommodating enough to handle a variety of scenarios, but with enough personality to keep everyone entertained. What bottle will best suit your occasion? As with most things about wine there's no single answer, but ...
ALISON LADMAN, For The Associated Press A rib roast is a classy addition to your holiday table. Served alongside roasted potatoes and vegetables, it is hearty, homey and elegant. For this recipe we used a bone-in rib-eye, a beautifully marbled, flavorful cut of beef. And since the meat itself is ...
I once read a review of Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burger that said that the whole experience of eating there makes a person nostalgic for experiences they've never actually had. I understand that feeling, especially around the holidays. Maybe it's from seeing one too many Norman Rockwell paintings or Very Special ...
About 30 area children will have their Christmas brightened by the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday during the WCSD’s annual “Shop With A Cop.” Each year, deputies takes a group of youths to see Santa and follows the visit with a small shopping spree at a local store.
Yesterday was National Cookie Day. So I thought I would use that festive occasion as inspiration for this week's offerings, and provide recipes for holiday treats so that you can get started on your Christmas baking. Yes, Christmas is 20 days away. And there are cookie exchanges, parties, tree trimming, ...
ROCCO DiSPIRITO, For The Associated Press In many ways, I'm a totally different person today than I was seven years ago. Back then, I was about 30 pounds overweight, carting around an unhealthy 20 percent body fat. I mean, I love food. I'm surrounded by food. And it was awfully ...
In my time at the Betty Brigade, I've been in many a home in which the kitchen cabinets house the chipped and cracked "everyday dishes," while the fine china sits in dusty boxes in the attic, flawless and unused. I've seen this situation enough that I'm now a "use-the-good-stuff" advocate. ...
The owners of Three Cedars Farm near Northville have been told they must cease their commercial operation —including their Christmas-themed events - due to zoning concerns.
The Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah (literally translated as "the head of the year"), begins at sundown tonight. It is a time for celebration, of course, with grand hopes for joy and blessings!
