This simple, 1-hour roast is our favorite Christmas dish and voted most likely to be served if the President were to drop in for dinner- LOL! I love serving this entree because it causes me NO stress and everyone raves over it. While the pork is roasting, make another batch of the cranberry glaze to serve in a gravy boat alongside the sliced pork roast. For food safety, the new batch should not be prepared in same pan as the first if you have been basting directly out of the saucepan. If you basted out of another dish, you can use the same pan.

Ice Cream Sticky Buns
This recipe always goes over great at our house. The kids love to eat them warm right out of the oven.
Chinese Eggplant with Garlic Sauce
My mother has been making this Chinese eggplant dish for me since I was a child. It is so good! Chinese eggplants are skinnier, longer, and a lighter purple color. They are also a bit denser and hold up better when cooked. This dish is mildly spicy, but you can make it very spicy if you like!
Devilishly Different Green Deviled Eggs
I was bored with traditional deviled eggs and had been trying to find more ways to cook with avocados. I made these for a Kentucky Derby party and all 24 were gone within minutes! Next time I will need to make a double batch.
