These cookies are a standard for my holiday entertaining since I came across versions of this recipe some years ago.

This delicious winter squash salad takes two of my favorites and pairs them with bacon, pomegranates, cranberry goat cheese, dates, pecans, arugula greens, basil and a spiced cumin-date dressing.

The traditional Italian American version of this Easter Ham Pie was something of a “must have” in our house growing up. In fact I can distinctly remember it being my job every year to dice up all the meats in cheese in preparation of the making of it.
