A rack of lamb is considered the crown of traditional cuisine elegance. It is the perfect and impressive main entree to serve on special occasions; and it's easier to prepare than it appears. If you prefer the flavor of pork, the pork crown is for you.

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.

Scene from A Christmas Story, 'I double dog dare you!' | 1983
Roasting in New York City since 1886, A. L. Bazzini has been supplying Yankee Stadium with peanuts since its inaugural game against the Red Sox in 1923, and it is the nutroaster of choice for the finest restaurants and hotels, including the Waldorf Astoria, and Four Seasons. As far back as 1945, generous Bazzini 4-pound Elephant Tins have supplied the best kitchens.
Need a great snack in under 1 hour? And- with no concerns about added holiday fat intake, like the usual snack mix with butter. Make another viewer favorite and most requested party snack is my seasoned spiced nuts recipe. My recipe, roasted in the oven with egg whites, that's sans the butter!
I’ve listed options to mix-in with the nuts if you want to put your own spin on my holiday snack. Oh, and BTW- it makes a great hostess/ host gift when wrapped up in clear cello bags with a festive ribbon.
Add any of the following to above make your own spin on Holiday Snack
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup white raisins
1 cup Indian nuts, aka pinion, or pine nuts
2 cups mini pretzel sticks
