This recipe has quite a few of my favorite things for the holidays in it, starting with fresh cranberries. It has a jalapeno, green onion, cilantro and cream cheese. This is probably the only recipe on here that has a few more calories. I serve the cranberry jalapeno dip with with my favorite cracker.

Over the last year my love for Roasted Brussel Sprouts has doubled and the fact that it is served as an appetizer with Garlic Bacon Aioli in this recipe makes it even better. I served mine with holiday toothpicks nearby to spear one of these delights. The brussel sprouts are oven roasted with a little oil and salt and pepper to taste. While those were baking I made the Aioli. I also cook some bacon for the crumbled topping on the aioli. This involves mayo, garlic, bacon, lemon juice, horseradish mustard (optional) and fresh thyme. Allow it to cool until ready to serve and garnish with crumbled bacon. 

I love a great bruschetta and this recipe Tomato Basil Brucschetta and Garlic does not ever disappoint me. I pick up a fresh baguette on the way home.Then sauté the garlic before adding it to the fresh ingredients of tomatoes, onion and basil. A little lemon juice is added with salt and pepper to taste. The baguette is best when brushed with little bit of flavored oil and toasted lightly. When spooning the bruschetta on top with a little parmesan cheese. The flavors really compliment each other well.

These Baked pears with gorgonzola and honey have a distinct taste with the cheese and honey and I have found I can do the same thing with apple slices.

After taking them out of the oven scoop some cheese on top, place some walnut pieces and drizzle with more honey. I like my cheese melted so I place the back in the oven for a few minutes
