Want center platter variety this holiday? I am all for embracing traditions, but if you are feeling the desire to cook outside the traditional goose or turkey dinner, make a glazed ham. It's easy and always a favorite, besides it goes so well with my biscuits.
How exactly did that turkey become center plate over the baked ham? It was the prized gift in Dicken's A Christmas Carol, circa 1843, and stuck ever since. Well, maybe.
Tomorrow- I will talk crown roasts with you. See you then.

The Heritage Shortbread story is heart warming and so are their all natural sweet biscuits. Willow McGrain's South Carolina Lowcountry kitchen is where each and every buttery-rich shortbreads are baked from. The century old shortbread recipe was never written down- I'd say, the best kept family secret from Willow's Scottish origin. I wonder if Willow's great-great-grandmother imagined her holiday baking tradition would become a holiday shopping demand around the country? You can get them or send them.
