The holiday season is the time of year to open your heart and home to friends and family. When I think of holiday entertaining, three words come to mind: food, family and fun. With the focus on food, my approach to the holiday meal is to honor the eagerly anticipated traditional family foods that appear yearly. The key is to have fun and zest up your holiday by taking advantage of the bountiful seasonal ingredients and highlighting them in different ways. Of course, most importantly, you want to keep preparation time minimal to have more time toasting and hosting.

The typical menu features the turkey as center stage with stuffing, sweet potatoes, and desserts not far behind.
