One of my earliest memories of making cut-out sugar cookies, lovingly called “cookie cutters,” was with my mom and brothers during the holidays. Over the years, I have collected many different cookie cutters from boutiques and shops both local and abroad. I love using them, because it always brings back so many amazing memories. My wish is that you will take this recipe, gather these simple ingredients, and create some memories in your kitchen with family and cookie cutters. Happy Holidays!

This fresh cranberry salad is a treat during the holidays and has become a tradition for our family. Bright and tangy, this recipe serves a crowd, so it's perfect for any large gathering. An amazing combination of cranberries, oranges, pineapple, apples and walnuts, it’s an explosion of tastes and flavors your family is sure to enjoy. Make sure to get a good portion during the first round of helpings, because it’s only around once a year!

Thanksgiving is just about here and if you’re like me, you’re already planning what special meal you will be preparing. This year (for me and my husband), I will be making my delicious turkey breast in the crock pot with gravy! As you know, sometimes the white meat of the turkey can turn out dry, and who wants to take a chance when serving this special meal to your family and guests? Cooking it in the crock pot is easy and the meat is predictably juicy. Another plus in using the crock pot is that it will free up the oven and stove top space to make your other favorite Thanksgiving dishes such as stuffing, sweet potatoes, and of course, green bean casserole! It’s so perfect that I may never cook a turkey breast any other way. Enjoy and have a happy Thanksgiving!
