Traditional Christmas Cheese Ball
I look forward to this simple, traditional Christmas cheese ball every year. It has been served during family Christmas Eve parties since before my time. The ingredients for this recipe are few and inexpensive. While you can make it year-round, I reserve this one special appetizer for the holidays only to maintain its specialness. I love to serve Ritz crackers with the cheese ball to bring out its savory flavor.
Autumn Apple Slab Pie
Apple pie with the addition of walnuts, raisins, and warm spices in a large quantity? Yes, please! Tastes like autumn in a pan!
Persian Cucumber Yogurt (Maast-o Khiar)
This cool and healthy dip can be served along side rice and meat, or simply with bread. No Persian meal is complete without Maast-o khiar! This dish is best if refrigerated for a few hours, but if you are strapped for time feel free to serve after mixing. Don't be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach, raisins, or walnuts. Other herbs could be used as well (i.e. mint, tarragon, oregano). More cucumbers, less shallots...it's your call! Enjoy!
