Happy Holidays! Your Favorite Recipes..

Hi Everyone & Happy New Year!! Hoping your holidays have been spectacular, or at least restful. I’m baaack… I missed you all so much. Let’s get to it. Here’s my resolution: to eat less, to eat healthy, and post recipes everyday on www.bakedinmaine.com Some old favorites and new recipes for us to enjoy together. I’m rested, ready, on (art) school vacation….. and baby it’s cold outside!
*Please share with everyone your favorite holiday/family recipes below in the comments section. We love some good food up-in-here!
Let’s eat.

Let’s start with the turkey……

The Brine Recipe for Perfect Turkey

Classic Stuffing (with oysters or not)

Marylyn Monroe’s Stuffing Recipe “From the start, we agreed to embrace the period in which the recipe was written, and resisted the temptation to substitute fresh rosemary and ginger for the dried variety.” ~New York Times | Matt and Ted Lee

This delicious cranberry jalapeño relish recipe was given to me by my friend Michelle, she said “Oh Lisa, you have to try this. It’s sooo GOOD!” Forget the stuff in a can.

Magical Gingerbread Cake here’s my dear Grandmother’s recipe. There’s nothing like it in the world. This easy recipe also makes wonderful pancakes. Flavorful, healthful and absolutely delightful. Enjoy!

Here’s a recipe for a scrumptious sweet potato casserole inspired by a recipe I read in The New York Times.
Hope you enjoy it too!

saw a question you posted on the frontier lady’s website re: finding an eastern brand of GREEN CHILI ENCHILADA SAUCE – i use el paso brand (when i can find it, in a very small area of eastern long island, NY) and i’ve also used the cheaper and easier to locate target brand. both are good although i do prefer the el paso. also their label has a recipe for the enchiladas using the sauce and a can (or 2? up to you!) of diced green chilis and cream creese melted in and lots of shredded cheese melted onto the tortilla before you fill and roll it up. oh and there’s grilled chicken cut up and mixed in there, too! and the sauce is poured over the top, more melting cheese on top, and bake! i’m not including all the steps, so try to find the el paso brand so you can get the actual recipe. it’s to die for! if you can’t find it, let me know and i’ll email it to you. it tastes waaay better that the frontier lady’s sounds, just sayin’. oh, and FYI, they freeze beautifully. i put enough for a family meal in baking dish that also is freezer safe (think corning ware.) i lay in the filled, rolled torillas,pour on the sauce, add extra grated cheese on top, cover w/ clear wrap, then top w/ baking/freezing dish lid. just remember to pull off the clear wrap before replacing lid and popping, still frozen, in the oven. i label my freezer foods w/ contents, date, and any baking directions – especially helpful when my husband or daughter is “cooking” – and i’ll add a note to the label to remove the clear wrap. good luck, and enjoy! this recipe is too good not to have reached out to share.
