You're An Angel!

Thank you for supporting the cause of animal rescue by shopping for the holidays at this site.

What makes these recipes so different, anyway? And do you have to be, like... some super-whiz chef or something like that to be able to make them?

Most of the recipes here are relatively easy to make, and make a colorful splash when put on the table. Sure, I'm a really good cook. Mom was a gourmet cook so I was spoiled growing up, and pretty much had to learn how to cook really well once I moved out of her house, just to keep myself in the standard of eating to which I had grown accustomed! So I am fully capable of making stuff that's incredibly hard, but who has the time--not me, that's for sure! So

So there's the scoop.

Enjoy!

Suggested Menu Items:

Gourmet Thanksgiving recipes don't have to be hard to make, and neither do Christmas recipes have to be unhealthy to be good. Nor does Thanksgiving cooking or making Christmas dinner have to be stressful. All recipes on this site have been chosen for their use of fresh, whole food, healthy ingredients, so you end up with Thanksgiving food or Christmas dinner that is good to eat in more ways than one. Some of these holiday recipes have been slightly amended from the original versions based on my own kitchen experiences either to enhance flavor or lower the fat content of the recipe, or to create a vegan or vegetarian recipe. A variety of recipes have been included to help you in planning your Thanksgiving menu or Christmas menu based on your family's taste preferences. Most recipes that end up on my site as one of my favorites will be outstanding in terms of flavor, but not too time consuming to prepare, although of course, keep in mind that as a general rule, holiday meals require a little extra in terms of effort. Kitchen magic can only go so far...

3 Ft. Bay Leaf Garland
at Organic Flowers

Draped over a mantle or down a banister, this fresh and fragrant bay leaf garland adds an elegant holiday touch to your home during the festive year-end holiday season. The aromatic bay grows naturally on the steep hillsides of Potter Valley, California--an area that neighbors the Mendocino National Forest and the headwaters of the Russian River. The leaves are harvested in the late fall and early winter when the oil content in the leaf is at its highest. As a result, the leaves dry slowly over a two-week period to a beautiful green. In addition to enhancing your home for holidays, this wreath provides a year's supply of culinary bay. Enjoy!

Also Available Organic EDIBLE Wreaths!
