Holiday Recipes

by Donna Baer

There are millions of places to find great recipes, but for some reason, friends always ask for mine. My hunch is they want advice from the operator of a “test kitchen” who specializes in pleasing a broad range of ages and tastes. They also know that I don’t spend all day in my kitchen, so my menus must be easy to execute.

Here are some of my holiday recipes, and I’ll put some of my regular go-to meals on my website. A few of the recipes are there right now, and I’ll add more over time. When we have that cup of coffee together, I’ll want to know yours!

This "Kindle Short Read" is one of many Strong Happy Home Briefs. Each Brief concisely covers a specific topic, and is designed to give you mom-tested, real-world advice as you raise your kids and manage your home.

This Brief will share with you what I’ve learned in over a quarter century of raising my ten children. I am not a perfect mom, and I don’t have perfect kids. But I’ve discovered a lot from the mistakes I’ve made, and some of my ideas have actually worked well. This booklet will distill for you some of the lessons I’ve learned in the “School of Hard Knocks,” so you don’t have to enroll there yourself!
