Christmas Poinsettia Punch
This poinsettia punch is always a big hit at holiday parties with its light, flavorful taste and festive, brilliant red color.
Banana-Nut Buttermilk Bundt Cake
This Bundt cake has a hint of spice with a bit of crunch to the outside and a light texture on the inside and is made with buttermilk. Not overly sweet, so I prefer it without frosting. A nice replacement for banana bread, very moist. May add frosting or powdered sugar for presentation but this cake is excellent by itself.
Savannah Seafood Stuffing
This seafood dressing (though we call it stuffing) has been in my family for a while. We have never actually stuffed the bird with this to avoid the turkey having a fishy taste. We tend to like our dressing very moist, but if you prefer a drier version, only use half of the broth.
