Kelly's Holiday Tips & Traditions

  • Kelly's favorite holiday tradition

    I love to bake all year round - especially around the holidays. My pumpkin muffins are always a big hit. I love the way my kitchen smells when they're baking and my kids devour them. I like to double the recipe so I can share them with friends. Download The Recipe
  • Kelly's favorite holiday memory

    The year my Mom left the giblets in the turkey - we laughed so hard we had tears running down our faces. Needless to say, we ate a lot of cranberry sauce and candied yams that year!
  • Kelly's most decadent holiday dessert

    I make this incredible chocolate pecan pie during the holidays. It is so fudgy and delicious and it's always the first dessert to go. I just add some chocolate chips to my recipe for traditional pecan pie -- it's so easy. Download The Recipe
  • Most unusual dish served during the holidays

    I remember a friend's Mom who always served sauerkraut with her turkey. Not something I would normally associate with turkey (or Thanksgiving for that matter!) but her family wouldn't eat their turkey without it!
  • Best turkey she's ever tasted

    My mother-in-law makes a delicious turkey - golden brown on the outside, so moist and delicious on the inside. Sorry, Mom!
  • Kelly on her first Thanksgiving with Mark

    I was a wreck - it was my first time meeting his family and his Mom made all these incredible dishes. I ate so much I got a stomach ache and had to take a nap!
