I received a text message from my wife asking if I would be willing to help her cook breakfast for her staff for their early morning staff meeting. “Of course,” I quickly replied. “What do you have in mind?” She had polled her staff asking their favorite breakfast ...

I got the inspiration for this recipe from my friends Marcy and Deb, who served these up at a progressive dinner party for my wife’s hockey team. These wontons got rave reviews and were one of the highlights of the night.

Here’s what I recommend instead of reinventing your leftovers: make yourself a cocktail. Then, kick your feet up. Plug in some Christmas lights. Listen to holiday music.

This is my go-to, fail-proof recipe. The thing that sets it apart is the powdered sugar in the dough in lieu of granulated sugar. Powdered sugar helps the dough become beautifully pliable and the cookies, when baked, to be perfectly tender.

Fudge is a holiday essential. As people gather around the array of cookies and confections, there are those of us who clamor for the fudge. Families often have their secret recipes that they keep hidden, only bringing them out around Christmas.

Tater tot casserole is not a dish I grew up with. I didn’t even know it was a thing. I also didn’t know that in places like Minnesota, it’s called tater tot hot dish.

If you’re looking for a show-stopping appetizer to serve at an upcoming holiday gathering, look no further than this crab artichoke dip.

My wife grew up making peanut butter balls every holiday season. She remembers mixing together the butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until it forms a dough that can be rolled into bite-sized balls.
