I will get back to this when I am off work, but my general rule of thumb for The Holidays is only quality ingrediants and only home made...

Just taint The Holidays without the true comforts of home~

Other than using more natural ingredients and cooking from scratch. Just creating a holiday atmosphere with the right scents.

I make stuffed mushrooms that are pretty good. I start by cooking bacon on a skillet. I then drain the bacon fat into a pan and sautee fresh minced garlic and diced apples in the fat with white onion. I prepare a pork stuffing and combine all the ingredients. I also put in goat cheese, chopped pecans and chopped dried cranberries. Stuff the mushrooms, bake and top with a combo of goat cheese and fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

YUM!

For the best pumpkin pie, whip egg whites (no sugar) and fold into the pumpkin.
