All the inspiration you need to host a black and gold themed New Years party. Cheers!

The holiday season can be such a busy time — kids’ class parties to plan for, holiday programs to attend, and seemingly endless family and workplace get–togethers that often require us to bring a side dish (or even cook the entire meal!). It can seem like every weekend in November and December is dedicated to an event of some sort.

Despite all the hustle and bustle of the season, we encourage you to take time to truly enjoy your gatherings. When all the food is cooked and all your loved ones have gathered together to take those first few bites of delicious turkey, take a deep breath and savor the delicious smells and tastes. Perhaps more importantly, take time to be grateful for those around you. We’ve filled this magazine with delicious recipes we know you’ll love — best enjoyed with family or a group of friends (even a handful of strangers) to gather around the dinner table with.

We wish you and yours the best this holiday season.

Thanksgiving is a holiday of customs. A holiday where we buy the canned cranberry sauce and put it in grandma’s prettiest bowl every year, despite no one ever eating any. We’ve found some great ways to prepare your old favorites, with new add-ins and techniques that will update your feast and take it to the next level. And you can still enjoy these right alongside that beautiful bowl of cranberry sauce.

Aromatic Lemon, Apple, & Herb Turkey INGREDIENTS 1 turkey

Lemon and Herbs Brine

DIRECTIONS

1 ½ heaping cup salt 1 ½ gallons water 8 bay leaves ½ cup molasses or ¾ cup brown sugar 6 lemons, washed and quartered 2 sprigs rosemary 2 sprigs thyme 2 tbsp garlic, minced

Herb Butter

4 tbsp butter, softened 1 cup parsley, chopped 1 tsp salt

Aromatics

1 red apple, sliced 1 onion, quartered 1 tsp ground cinnamon or 1 stick of cinnamon 2 sprigs rosemary 6 sage leaves 1 ½ cup ginger ale

Brine

Combine all brine ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil for 2-3 minutes, or until salt and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Soak turkey in brine 1½ hours per pound. Once bird has soaked for required time, remove from the brine and rinse well with cold water.

Discard your brine. At this point you can either put the bird in the refrigerator overnight or cook immediately.

Prepare

Preheat your oven to 500°F. Place your bird on the rack in your roasting pan. Pat dry with paper towels.

Herb Butter Combine all herb butter ingredients and mix well. At the rear end of the bird, slide your fingers into the space between the skin and the meat. Slowly pry the two apart starting at the rear and working your way up to the neck on the breast side of the bird. Stuff your herb butter into the pocket you have just created.

Aromatics Combine all aromatic ingredients into a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes.This will steep your ingredients.

Add the steeped aromatics to the turkey’s cavity

Roast

Tuck the wings underneath the bird. Coat the skin liberally with canola oil. Salt the skin generously.

Roast the turkey on the lowest level of your oven at 500°F for 30 minutes. Then cover the breast portion of your turkey with a foil shield and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Cook until the thickest part of the turkey breast reads at 161°F. A 14-16 pound turkey usually takes approximately 2½ hours after the 30 minute high roast.

Carve

When you remove your turkey from the oven, let rest 20-30 minutes before carving.

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes INGREDIENTS

2 medium heads garlic 2 tsp olive oil 2 ½ lbs unpeeled red potatoes , diced into quarters (or sixths if larger) Salt and freshly ground black pepper ½ cup whole milk ¼ cup heavy cream ¼ cup butter, diced into 1 tbsp pieces, plus more for serving Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS 1.

2.

3.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut garlic heads about ½-inch from the top to expose cloves. Transfer garlic heads to a sheet of foil, drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over each head, and wrap foil tightly around garlic so it’s fully covered. Roast in preheated oven until lightly golden and cloves are soft, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool (cook potatoes while they cool — see below) then press and pinch cloves out of peels into a small bowl. Mash cloves with a fork and set aside.

Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover potatoes, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon salt. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover with lid, reduce heat to medium-low and allow to boil until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Near the end of potatoes cooking, measure out milk in a microwave safe measuring cup and add cream and butter. Heat in microwave until hot, about 45-60 seconds.

Drain potatoes, then return to pot and mash with a potato masher (they should have some lumps in them). Add hot milk mixture and mashed roasted garlic, and stir with a spoon while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with more butter and garnish with parsley if desired.

4 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp baking powder 1 lb unsalted butter ¾ cup sugar 3 egg yolks ½ cup freshly-squeezed orange juice 1 tsp honey Finely crushed walnuts, for topping

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, spices, baking soda and baking powder.

Beat the butter until it is light in color and fluffy, about 10 minutes in a stand mixer. Add the sugar and continue mixing for about 5 more minutes.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and orange juice together. Add to the butter mixture and make sure it is thoroughly incorporated.

Add dry ingredients in 3 portions, mixing after each addition, then add the teaspoon of honey.

Mix just until a soft dough forms. Chill dough 30 minutes to 1 hour before shaping.

Shape the dough into small ovals and flatten a little on the cookie sheet. These cookies do spread a little, so be sure to leave enough room in between. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.

Meanwhile, heat the syrup ingredients over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool.

When cookies are cool enough to handle, dip into syrup on both sides for about 10-15 seconds.

Gently press freshly-dipped cookies top side down onto crushed walnuts, then place on wax paper top side up. Let dry completely before you store.

Austrian Linzer Cookies INGREDIENTS

1 tsp kosher salt 2 large eggs 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup raw, skin-on almonds (or ¾ cup almond flour) 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp baking powder 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup raspberry jam Powdered sugar, for dusting

DIRECTIONS 1.

Pulse together flour and almonds in a food processor until the almonds are very finely ground. Add cinnamon, baking powder and salt, and pulse to blend. (Alternatively, whisk together flour, ground almonds or almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.)

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together on medium-high until the mixture is light, fluffy and pale, 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract, and beat until everything is well combined, again stopping to scrape down bowl as necessary.

Add in dry ingredients all at once and mix on low speed, just until incorporated.

Divide dough in 2 equal pieces, and wrap each piece in cling film, patting into a 1-inch-thick disk.

Chill at least 2 hours, up to 5 days ahead.

Heat oven to 325°F. Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper so it’s about inch thick. (Because of the almonds, the dough may crack in 8 places while you’re rolling it out. This is ok., just patch it up with scraps.)

Using a round cookie cutter 2 ½ inches in diameter, cut out as many circles as possible. Take half of these circles and cut out a 1-inch circle, star, or other shape from the interior of the larger circles, creating a donut shape that will become the top of the cookie. If at any point the dough becomes too soft to cut and cleanly remove from parchment paper, slide it onto a cookie sheet and chill for a few minutes in the freezer or refrigerator. Gather any scraps of dough, combine them and roll them out, chilling as necessary. Transfer dough circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced 1 inch apart and bake until the edges are golden brown, 12-15 minutes.

To assemble the linzer cookies, spread about a teaspoon of raspberry jam onto the flat sides of the larger circles. Dust the tops of the cutout circles with powdered sugar and place on top of raspberry jam.

Cinnamon-Walnut Stuffed Challah Bread INGREDIENTS For the Dough: • 1/2 cup (118 ml) whole milk • 1/4 cup (85 grams) honey • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter • 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons, 7 grams) active-dry yeast • 2 large eggs For the Filling: • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature • 3/4 cup (160 grams) light or dark brown sugar, packed • 2 cups (226 grams) Diamond of California Chopped Walnuts, finely chopped • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS To Prepare the Dough: 1. Combine the milk, honey and butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Warm just until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes, or until it is between 120-130 degrees F. 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (you can also use a large bowl and mix by hand), combine 2 cups of the flour, the salt, cinnamon and yeast. Add the milk mixture and mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each.

3. Add the remaining flour a few tablespoons at a time, letting it incorporate into the dough before adding more. When all the flour has been added, the dough should be very soft, but still clear the sides of the bowl. If necessary, add a few more tablespoons of flour. Continue to knead the dough for about 5 more minutes until it's smooth and elastic.

4. Carefully place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Gently punch down the dough to release gases and knead a few more times by hand.

To Prepare the Stuffed Challah: 5. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon and mix until smooth. Mixture should be crumbly.

6. Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Working with each piece individually, place dough on a well-floured surface and roll into an approximate 12x6-inch rectangle. Sprinkle one third of the walnut mixture on top of the dough. Starting at one long end, tightly roll up the dough and carefully transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, seam side-down. Repeat with remaining 2 pieces of dough.

7. When you have finished rolling up all 3 pieces of stuffed dough, braid them together on the sheet pan, tucking the ends under. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled again, about 30-45 minutes.

8. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Make an egg wash with 1 large egg and a teaspoon of water and brush on the loaf. Bake until golden, about 35-40 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before transferring from sheet pan.

9. Bread is best the day it is baked, but will keep in an airtight container for a few days.

German Pfeffernüsse Cookies (“Pepper Nuts”) INGREDIENTS

½ cup molasses ¼ cup honey ½ cup unsalted butter 4 cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup white sugar ½ cup brown sugar 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 ½ tsp baking soda 1 ½ tsp ground cardamom 1 tsp ground allspice 1 tsp ground nutmeg 1 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp ground ginger

DIRECTIONS 1.

2.

3.

4.

In a heavy bottomed, nonreactive, 1 to 1½ quart pot, combine the molasses, honey, and butter.

Place the pot over low heat, stirring often until the butter has melted, all the ingredients are completely combined, and the mixture is creamy. Do not boil. Remove the pot from the heat, pour the mixture into a large bowl, and set aside and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Stir in the beaten eggs and the anise extract.

While the mixture is cooling, sift together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, black pepper, and salt in a separate bowl.

When the molasses mixture has reached room temperature, stir in the beaten eggs and the anise extract. With a large wooden spoon, gradually stir in the sifted dry ingredients until everything is thoroughly combined (the dough will be a stiff dough by this point). Chill the dough in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.

After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease several baking sheets. Roll the dough into small balls (about ½-inch in diameter). Place the balls on the greased baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart, as they will spread slightly.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies have lost their shiny look and are slightly firm to the touch (but still soft). The cookies may have some small cracks as well. Using a thin spatula to remove the cookies from the baking sheet, move them to a rack to cool. Once the cookies have cooled completely, roll each cookie in sifted confectioners’ sugar to coat thoroughly. Store in an airtight container with wax paper between the layers at room temperature. Allow the cookies to “age” at least 24 hours before serving (a few days to a week is even better). If desired, roll cookies in confectioners’ sugar to coat them once more before serving.

Onyx sorghum is high in antioxidants and dietary fiber.

The fiber digests slowly and ensures that blood sugar levels do not rise rapidly and subsequently crash. Thus making it an ideal food for people with diabetes, insulin resistance and hypoglycemia. The powerful antioxidants from Onyx Sorghum help protect your body from the harmful free radicals we are exposed to on an everyday basis.

How can 8 whole tomatoes fit in one jar of Silver Palate pasta sauce?

That’s why it tastes like you’re biting into a ripe, juicy tomato.

You won’t find any tomato paste in Silver Palate San Marzano Pasta Sauce. And no added sugar, either. Just a whole tomato blend of San Marzano plum tomatoes from the rich volcanic soils of the Mt. Vesuvius region and the fertile soils of the Central Valley in California. Deluxe juicy tomatoes are simmered in extra virgin olive oil to yield more natural lycopene antioxidant. Plus, our little secret – skins removed by steam, not chemicals. That is what makes Silver Palate such a premium line of pasta sauce.

Gingerbread Men INGREDIENTS

10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature ¾ cup packed light or dark brown sugar 2 3 cup unsulphured molasses 1 large egg, at room temperature 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1 tbsp ginger, ground 1 tbsp cinnamon, ground ½ tsp allspice ½ tsp cloves, ground Icing

DIRECTIONS 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and molasses and beat on medium high speed until combined and creamy-looking. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Next, beat in egg and vanilla on high speed for 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. The butter may separate; that’s ok.

In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves together until combined.

On low speed, slowly mix into the wet ingredients until combined. The cookie dough will be quite thick and slightly sticky. Divide dough in half and place each onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap each portion up tightly and pat down to create a disc shape. Chill discs for at least 3 hours and up to 3 days (chilling is mandatory for this cookie dough).

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

Remove one disc of chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator. Generously flour a work surface, as well as your hands and the rolling pin. Don’t be afraid to continually flour the work surface as needed – this dough can be sticky. Roll out disc until ¼ inch thick. Cut into shapes. Place shapes 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Re-roll dough scraps until all the dough is shaped. Repeat with remaining disc of dough.

Bake cookies for about 9-10 minutes. If your cookie cutters are smaller than 4 inches, bake for about 8 minutes. If your cookie cutters are larger than 4 inches, bake for about 11 minutes. Be sure to rotate the pan once during bake time.

Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet.

Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Once completely cool, add candy decorations.

Here are a couple recipes for your holiday season bucket list! We’ve decorated our Gingerbread Men and Rice Krispie Trees with sprinkles, but you can choose from a variety of candies to give kids plenty of options to make these their own. If you make a batch, we’d love to see! Post a photo on instagram and tag #PCKidsClub.

Cut the pastry sheet in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 18 (3/4-inch wide) strips, making 36.

3. Cut the bacon slices in half lengthwise, then crosswise, making 36 (about 5x1/2-inch) strips.

4. Place 1 bacon strip on each pastry strip. Twist the pastry and bacon together and place on the baking sheets, pressing down the ends. Stir the cheese and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the pastries with the cheese mixture.

5. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and the bacon is crisp. Let the pastries cool on the baking sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes.

Slice oranges. Dab the extra juice off the orange slices with a paper towel (don’t squish the juice out).

Line the orange slices on your oven rack. Bake at 275°F for 1 hour and then at 225°F for 2 more hours. Open your oven every thirty minutes to release the moisture. Turn the oranges a couple times to prevent lines and curling.

To avoid staining, do not place the garland directly on lightly-painted surfaces or linens.
