If you are in the mood for an old time holiday treat, you can't beat old fashioned eggnog. Essentially, eggnog is a liquid custard. This recipe is based on the original Joy of Cooking's "Eggnog in Quantity" recipe.

FREGOLA SARDA TABOULEH WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

WITH NO COMMENTS

I love discovering a new food, especially when it has a great name that sounds like an Italian movie star. Fregola Sarda, is my latest find. These hand-crafted, toasted, nutty pearls of a pasta are incredibly versatile. I use them in this recipe to make a toasted and roasted tabouleh.

APPLE CRUMBLE

WITH 3 COMMENTS

One of my year-round favorite desserts is a fruit crisp. In the summer I make it with fresh peaches, nectarines and berries. In the winter I use apples and pears. It takes a few minutes to prepare and is always a crowd-pleaser.

PUMPKIN FLAN

This savory, sweet and spicy pumpkin flan is silky smooth with a kick of spicy toasted pumpkin seeds. It is the perfect make-ahead dessert as it needs to be made at least the day before you serve it. BTW, it is gluten-free.

PAVLOVA WITH BERRIES, BROWN SUGAR AND SOUR CREAM

Like the prima ballerina who inspired it, a good pavlova makes for a show-stopping culinary performance that will not readily be forgotten. This brown sugar, berry pavlova "cake" gets a standing ovation. Simply finger-licking good!
