Cornbread. There is nothing better. It's a dish that brings smiles and family memories to everyone who can smell that piping hot pan of goodness. No matter whether you’d eat an entire sheet yourself or just like it as a side, it’s a necessary part of any soul food meal.

There seems to be no limit to the nostalgia that the holiday season brings. Every year, I find myself entirely captivated by our family Christmas tree—despite

Coming into fresh truffles is a special moment. The flavor and aroma are woodsy and strong and make an incredible addition to a variety of dishes. One of the best ways to extend the enjoyment of a truffle is to incorporate it into butter that can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for a wide variety of future applications. Check out my Truffle Butter Roasted Chicken recipe, swirl it into your favorite pasta for a weeknight meal, or melt over steak, still hot from the grill. YUM!

During the holidays, I love to make these cookies to give to neighbors. They are buttery and rich with just the right amount of vanilla. Rolling the dough in sugar makes them sparkly and festive, and you can also vary the type of jam you use. Sometimes I will make a batch and fill a few with blueberry jam, a few with raspberry jam, and a few with apricot jam. The color variation is beautiful and the different fruit flavors make it hard to just have one cookie!

My dad inspired this grilled cheese method with a drizzle of maple syrup. The salty-sweet crunch is so loveable and really nostalgic for me. The combo of cheese and butter plus maple syrup and toasty bread is magic. Any good melting cheese will work.
