I used to read Christmas with Southern Living faithfully every year. Somehow, I fell out of that delightful tradition. I'm catching up with all the editions available at my library.

One of my favorite Christmas recipes is for a pistachio brittle that I found in Christmas with Southern Living, 2000. My copy is a bit battle worn after 22 years of making it. Trying to locate that recipe is what had me seeking out this wonderful yearly offering.

The Christmas with Southern Living books are great fun to read, to make you dream of beautiful holidays and delicious offerings.

I suggest you seek them out and enjoy all the Christmas with Southern Living books.

5 Stars for Christmas with Southern Living 2013: The Ultimate Guide to Holiday Cooking & Decorating. I found plenty of recipes I’m eager to try.

Note: This is one of seven editions I'm reading. I suspect they will all have a similar review. I'm a fan!

After looking through a large number of cookbooks, decorating, and idea books, the new Christmas with Southern Living caught my eye. As usual, Southern Living has done a stellar job. Even the cover has a great idea: little round red velvet cakes with white frosting and peppermint trimmings! This book combines a traditional menu, a brunch menu, a New Year's day menu, and appetizers and cookie sections (25 days of Christmas Cookies). There are also some superb ideas for decorating, some of which are simple enough even I can do them (I think). Once of my favorites is the small bookshelf that has been emptied, then occupied by a separate snowball on each shelf, forming a cute snowman--his hat makes the top shelf.

Another lovely idea is a recipe called stacked apples. These fried apples can be served warm or cold, as a side or a dessert. Sounds like something yummy for a Christmas breakfast! And I don't think I can wait until New Year's to try the pork chops with bourbon-rosemary-mustard sauce. With the pecan cornbread and "hoppin' john," of course! I'd have given this five stars, except some of the recipes seemed too fussy or too strange (Turkey artichoke cornucopia? Calamari salad? Herbed grits dressing with leeks and mushrooms?) But others are delightfully easy and visually scrumptious! ~ Tessa Eger 4.5 out of 5 stars
