MUSIC: FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

FOOD FOR THOUGHT



Holidays! A very busy time but what a reward when everyone sits down together and you can see the look of absolute bliss when they taste your food. Our family has a great appreciation of good food. I will share some holiday favourites with you.


My mother comes from Quebec (Canada) and as a result some of the recipes will be traditional from Quebec that my mom used to make when I was growing up. I now prepare these recipes for my family and keep the tradition going.

Enjoy my blog. It was created with you in mind. I wanted to share with you some warm hearted ideas and wish you, your family and friends joy, peace and many blessings.


When we gather, we always begin with beverages of course so here is a delicious very festive punch which can be adult and child friendly.


CRANBERRY PUNCH

1 One pound can can jellied cranberry sauce
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 One pint 12 ounce bottle (3 1/2 cups) ginger ale, chilled

Beat cranbery sauce till smooth. Stir in juices. Add ginger ale. Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh cranberries. This is child friendly. For adult friendly, add white wine or vodka.



*********************************

My husband loves his coffee! After a meal the tradition is coffee or tea? He has created a most amazing coffee for you coffee and chocolate lovers. It is very rich and filling.

You need fresh brewed coffee, instant Irish Cream coffee and chocolate milk.


To a cup of fresh brewed coffee, add two teaspoons of irish cream coffee and instead of coffee cream, add chocolate milk. Mmm!

On another note! How many times have my husband and I gone out for dinner and often wonder if we could get the recipe at restaurants where we have tasted something delicious. Chefs guard their recipes very closely, especially if they are their trademark.


One of my favorite places to eat is Red Lobster. It is very difficult to get a reservation because they are booked way ahead of time. We went to Toronto and tried to do a walk in which was a waste of time. They were so busy and had people waiting to be seated!


The Copy Cat Cookbook has amazing recipes. With this cookbook there are bonuses that make this an unbelievable value. There are 332 recipes in this cookbook but that's not all! If you order today you get the following additional bonuses.

This would actually be an excellent Christmas gift for someone. It would also be an excellent wedding or shower gift.
