This is the traditional New Year's Day meal I learned from my husband, whose family originated in central Pennsylvania. It's wonderful, especially served with mashed potatoes and applesauce.
This mini version of the classic Red Velvet Cake is one of the more popular offerings in bakeries all across the country. Whip up a batch this holiday season or anytime of the year.
'This recipe was given to me many years ago at a New Year's potluck,' says Gwynne Fleener of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. 'Since then, it has been a tradition to serve it at our holiday open house. The creamy mixture is always a hit.'
Sliced ham is layered in a casserole with pineapple and brown sugar then baked in ginger ale. My family does this every year with our Christmas Eve ham and it never fails to be anything but delicious! Scale it down and it will work to use up leftover ham too!
Refrigerated pie crust makes this tartlet recipe easy to prepare. The chopped apples and toffee pieces make them a kid-favorite dessert for Christmas or any time of the year.
These tasty meatballs will disappear quickly from anyone's holiday party. My mom makes them every year for New Years Eve, and now so do I. These do very well in a slow cooker, as you can simmer them before serving, as well as keep them hot for the duration of your party.
Fresh spring asparagus, spinach, and leeks from the garden are the ideal way to enjoy this hearty soup, but it's great any time of year! Potatoes, rice, and carrots round out this creamy favorite.
A pleasant blend of herbs dresses up this buttery, fresh-flavored corn dish that's part of 'all the trimmings' for our Thanksgiving meal. I also serve it frequently throughout the year and take a bowl along to carry-in dinners. -Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana
At the campground where my husband and I have a trailer, the campers hold and auction of baked goods every Fourth of July. I donated this moist bundt cake last year and it brought in the highest bid! I often use black walnuts in place of regular walnuts because they add a special flavor.
