Potatoes Dauphinoise --I use Gruyere cheese and heavy cream. We eat them once a year around NYE.

We get the frozen ones from Trader Joe's. Nobody can tell.


Yes they can. Which is fine. The Trader Joe’s ones are okay. If you’re going pre-made, that’s the one to do for sure. My mother in law makes them. But we make our grandparents’ recipe - including matzoh meal as a binder - and they’re sublime.

Because it IS. It's full of delicious FAT.


Haha, yes it is!! We did include a citrus and arugula salad, and roasted Brussels - the meal wasn't ALL fat - but those don't feel like "special dishes" . It's the fat that makes it.

Other PP with fork in hand - come on in!

Mushroom Wellington. Lots of effort. Was ok but not spectacular.

Cinnamon rolls, latkes, world peace cookies, standing rib roast, hot crab dip…

Baked ziti! It's a big crowd pleaser.

My usual beef Wellington, and various iterations of fruit mousse cakes. So not as far out as yours, but for us they still represent the Holidays.

I made an eggnog-fruitcake bread pudding. It’s a little extreme for me, but it’s good once a year.

What did you make over the holidays?
