Wild Rice, Kale, And Fennel Salad

Wild Rice, Kale And Fennel Salad
Despite its name, wild rice is not actually a rice but is instead a species of aquatic grass and the grain that can be harvested from it. Northern wild rice is an annual plant native to Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region. In northern Wisconsin, it grows in shallow freshwater lakes and slow-flowing streams and is harvested in early autumn.

Ingredients

For Vinaigrette:

½ cup apple cider vinegar

¼ cup whole-grain mustard

¼ cup maple syrup

3 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

¾ cup sunflower oil

For Salad:

1 cup wild rice, cooked, drained and cooled 

½ cup black beans, cooked, drained and cooled (or 1 [14 oz] can, rinsed and drained)

1 small bunch lacinato kale, stemmed and thinly sliced

1 small bunch curly kale, stemmed and thinly sliced

1 small red onion, diced

1 head fennel, cored and diced

1 sweet red Carmen pepper or bell pepper, diced

1 bunch parsley, stemmed and chopped

½ cup dried cranberries, preferably unsweetened

1 tart, crisp apple, cored and chopped

½ cup toasted hazelnuts or pepitas

4 ounces crumbled blue cheese, feta or goat cheese (optional)


Directions

To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk the mixture continuously while you drizzle in the sunflower oil.


n the same bowl, toss the vinaigrette together with the wild rice, black beans, sliced kale, onion, fennel, bell pepper, parsley, cranberries and apple. Taste and season to taste.


Mix in the toasted nuts and cheese before serving.


Suggestions

This salad is sturdy enough to be made up to 3 days in advance. Freshen it up with a little extra oil and a splash of vinegar if needed before serving.

Cranberry Pistachio Sandies

Cranberry Pistachio Sandies
The secret to these indulgent cookies lies in their simple yet indulgent  ingredients.  For these cookies you will need:
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped into smaller pieces
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
Optional Garnish: coarse sugar before baking
White chocolate drizzle for elegance
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Cream the Butter and SugarIn a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.  Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

Add the Dry Ingredients  Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the chopped dried cranberries and pistachios by hand using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the CookiesScoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.  Gently flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top for added sparkle.

Bake the CookiesBake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should remain pale in the center for that classic shortbread texture.

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Drizzle
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle melted white chocolate over the tops for an elegant finishing touch. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for an extra festive look. Arrange them on a platter and enjoy the buttery, nutty goodness!

Why This Recipe Works So Well

The magic of Cranberry Pistachio Shortbread Cookies lies in their balance of textures and flavors. The buttery shortbread provides a rich, tender base, while the dried cranberries add a sweet-tart pop and the pistachios contribute a satisfying crunch. Together, these elements create a  cookiethat’s as indulgent as it is festive.

Variations to Try

While the classic version is divine, here are some creative ways to switch things up:

  1. Add Citrus Zest : Stir in orange or lemon zest for a bright, aromatic twist.
  2. Swap Mix-Ins : Replace  cranberries and pistachios with dried cherries and almonds, or white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
  3. Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe suitable for dietary restrictions.
  4. Chocolate-Dipped Cookies : Dip half of each cookie in melted dark or white chocolate for an extra decadent finish.
  5. Mini Cookies : Roll the dough into smaller balls for bite-sized treats perfect for parties.

Harvest Nachos With Squash, Brussei

Harvest Nachos with Squash,
Brussels Sprouts & Smoked Cheddar
Breaking out of its Tex-Mex shackles, Harvest Nachos finds crunchy tortilla chips baked under a bed of two cheeses, roasted fall veggies, dried cranberries and fresh thyme. If you cut the vegetables and grate the cheeses ahead of time, the whole dish comes together in under an hour. It is important to layer nachos so the last bite is as good as the  
first.  Serves 8
Ingredients:
3 cups (750 mL) diced butternut squash, cut into ¾-inch (2-cm) 
   cubes
1 lb (455 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed, quartered through core
2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tbsp (30 mL) red wine vinegar
2 tbsp (30 mL) water
2 tsp (10 mL) sugar
1 large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
1 lb (455 g) sturdy tortilla chips
½ lb (225 g) smoked cheddar, grated
½ lb (225 g) Swiss melting cheese (Emmenthal, Appenzeller, 
    Gruyère), grated
½ cup (125 mL) dried cranberries
3 tbsp (45 mL) fresh thyme leaves
Lemon wedges for serving

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°F).

In a large mixing bowl, combine squash, Brussels sprouts, oil, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a heavy-duty baking

sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake on lower rack, stirring twice, until browned and soft, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven.

Lower temperature to 350°F (180°F).

While the vegetables are roasting, whisk vinegar, water, sugar and a pinch of salt in small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Stir in shallot. Set aside, stirring occasionally.

Line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spread out half the chips and sprinkle with half the cheese, half of the roasted vegetables, cranberries and thyme. Repeat with a second layer using up remaining half of chips, cheese and toppings. Bake until cheeses are melted and nachos are hot, 15 to 20 minutes.

Cranberry Orange Scones

Cranberry Orange Scones
Ingredients:

4 cups plus 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
3/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 cup dried cranberries
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water or milk, for egg 
   wash
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed orange juice


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and orange zest. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas. 

Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of flour, add to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.

Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see small bits of butter in the dough. Keep moving the dough on the floured board so it doesn't stick. Flour a 3-inch round plain or fluted cutter and cut circles of dough. Place the scones on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Collect the scraps neatly, roll them out, and cut more circles.

Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch. 

Allow the scones to cool for 15 minutes and then whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the scones.

Cranberry Walnut Bread

Cranberry Walnut Bread

 Yield:  Directions for 1 or 2 Large loaves 
Prep Time 20 minutes
Additional Time: 2 hours 40 minutes

Cook Time:  45 Minutes
Total Time; 3 hours 45 minutes or more
Sturdy, soft and chewy, this cranberry walnut bread makes for the best toast! And it’s freezer-friendly. So save yourself some money and make this store-bought holiday staple at home!

Ingredients for 1 Loaf: 
3/4 cup warm water (105*F - 115*F)
2 teaspoons dry yeast
about 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt 
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or more
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup english walnuts, rough chopped

Directions for 1 loaf:
To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,* add the warm water then sprinkle in the yeast. Next, add in 1/4 cup of the flour and mix briefly on low speed to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. 

Add in the honey, olive oil, salt and cinnamon and mix briefly again on low to combine. 

With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the remaining 2 3/4 cups of the flour, about 1 cup at a time (SEE NOTES**). Once the dough forms a shaggy mass, stop the mixer and switch to the dough hook. 


Knead on low speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic (if the dough is too sticky, slowly add in additional flour until it reaches the desired consistency). 

Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large lightly oiled bowl. Turn once to coat, then cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. 

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Set aside.
Gently deflate the dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead in the cranberries and walnuts by hand. 

Split the dough into two equal sized pieces and form each into a ball about 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Place both on the prepared baking sheet, then cover with a damp towel(s) and let rise again for another 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy. 

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Once the loaves have proofed, sprinkle the tops lightly with flour, then use a serrated knife to cut a cross into the top of each loaf (about 1-inch deep). 

Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom (if you have an instant-read thermometer, the internal temperature should be about 190ºF). Transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool before slicing!
*****

Ingredients For 2 Loaves:
1 ½ cups warm water (105 to 115ºF) 
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
about 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
½ cup honey
¼ cup olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ to 1 cup dried cranberries
¾ to 1 cup chopped raw walnuts
  

Directions for 2 loaves:  
To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment,* add the warm water then sprinkle in the yeast. Next, add in ½ cup of the flour and mix briefly on low speed to combine. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. 

Add in the honey, olive oil, salt and cinnamon and mix briefly again on low to combine. 

With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the remaining 5 ½ cups of the flour, about 1 cup at a time (SEE NOTES**). Once the dough forms a shaggy mass, stop the mixer and switch to the dough hook. 


Knead on low speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic (if the dough is too sticky, slowly add in additional flour until it reaches the desired consistency). 

Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large lightly oiled bowl. Turn once to coat, then cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. 

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, then sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Set aside.
Gently deflate the dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Knead in the cranberries and walnuts by hand. 

Split the dough into two equal sized pieces and form each into a ball about 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Place both on the prepared baking sheet, then cover with a damp towel(s) and let rise again for another 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy. 

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Once the loaves have proofed, sprinkle the tops lightly with flour, then use a serrated knife to cut a cross into the top of each loaf (about 1-inch deep). 

Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, until golden brown and the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom (if you have an instant-read thermometer, the internal temperature should be about 190ºF). Transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool before slicing!


NOTES
*The amount of dough for this recipe works best in a 6 quart stand mixer (or larger). I have made it in a 5 quart stand mixer - although it really pushes the capacity of the bowl. Alternatively, you can mix everything in a large bowl and then knead the bread completely by hand!

**If you find that your dough won't take the full 6 cups of flour that's okay. For most people this recipe works exactly as written, but humidity and other factors in your house can affect the moisture level of the dough. You want your dough to be smooth and elastic after kneading, so add as much flour as needed to reach this consistency (go by feel!). With that said, this dough should be a bit sturdier than traditional bread dough, so keep that in mind when kneading.
