The Christmas or Holiday season means different things to different people. For some, it lasts from Thanksgiving until whenever the tree comes down although the traditional 12 Days of Christmas runs from the day after Christmas, December 26th to the Epiphany, or “twelfth night” on January 6th. For me, it coincides with Eggnog season! It’s the perfect time of year to celebrate and this Classic Cooked Eggnog is a fabulous way to do so.
Rich & Creamy Eggnog
Well, it seems I’ve just skipped through fall and Thanksgiving and jumped right into Christmas now that it’s just about mid-December! But is there a better way to celebrate the season than an absolutely decadent, divine Homemade Eggnog? Especially if it’s a Rich & Creamy Eggnog – and one that’s safe, at that!

German Baked Apples Bratapfel
German Baked Apples Bratapfel takes me right back to childhood! I don’t think at the time anyone thought of them as being particularly “German.” They were, like so many recipes that were ubiquitous to the Midwest, just a part of small-town, down-home cooking. Baked apples appeared a lot-at our table for dessert.

Apple Butter Barbecue Sauce
I’m kind of getting on a little apple kick here in late May. It’s because I posted the recipe out for my Cider Glazed Ribs so I just had to put out the recipe for this Apple Butter Barbecue Sauce to complement them. And to tell the truth, I have a slaw coming up with apples in it, too. That’s my Tangy Apple Cabbage Slaw.

Cider & Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
I think these Cider & Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms are going to be my new signature app. There’re scrumptious little bites that are going to be a hit as an hors-d’oeuvre at a cocktail party, a starter for a family feast (especially Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years) or snack on game day.
