Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Recipes

I bought this Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Recipes special interest magazine in 2011 because of the excellent full-color pictures and how to’s.  It’s a great reference and has a lot of variations on classic recipes, for example, 4 new glazes and 8 choices for rubs and 4 different brining ideas for your holiday turkey.  Especially for cooking holiday entrees, it has current cooking times and methods. 

For everything from cocktails to candy, birds to pork roasts (Frenched, of course), 6 variations on mashed potatoes, 7 choices of gravy, along with buy-it hints, and plenty of sides, salads, breads, salads and sweet potatoes, this book has everything for the big day.

We cooked some recipes for your holiday menus from this book and we’re just scratching the surface.
