Hometown Recipes for the Holidays
Hometown Recipes for the Holidays invites you to pull up a chair to America's dinner table and enjoy more than 250 cherished family recipes, special memories, and dozens of beautiful photographs. You'll find the perfect dish for each of your favorite celebrations: New Year's Day, the Fourth of July, Columbus Day, Passover, Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, President's Day, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
The editors of American Profile have compiled the nation's most delicious recipes—straight from their readers—in this book, which is modeled after the magazine's most popular section, “Hometown Recipes.” You'll find everything from breakfast with Grandma's Christmas Casserole and Wake-Up Casserole to the perfect additions to jazz up your buffet, such as Julia's Fresh Cranberry Relish and Aunt Peggy's Salmon Pasta Salad, to sit-down dinner options such as Almost Lasagna Zucchini Casserole and Ben's Swiss Steak. Top it all off with a decadent dessert, such as Butter Rum Cake, or something a little easier, such as No-Roll Sugar Cookies or Quick-and-Easy Family Peanut Brittle, to create an experience that your family and friends will remember for years.
American Profile, one of America's most widely circulated magazines, celebrates hometown life, and in Hometown Recipes for the Holidays editors Candace Floyd, Anne Gillem, Nancy S. Hughes, and Jill Melton do just that.

Holiday Recipes
I found a lot of recipes that I will be preparing for my family during the holidays and throughout the year! Can’t wait to try them!

Yum!
I flagged over half the recipes to make later. I think today I'll try the pumpkin pancakes, white chili, and monster cookies. This is a great everyday cookbook.

I found Hometown Recipes for the Holidays on the bargain shelf of a bookstore. I like cookbooks with stories appended to the recipes and the book cost less than $5 so it was worth a shot.
I'm actually interested in trying out a couple of the recipes. They sound reliable. The notes from the test kitchen indicate that the editors tried the recipes before printing the book which is a good sign.
Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to try the recipes until I'm over this cold. My taste buds are not working well.
