Come along in the pages of Home for the Holidays Cookbook; wear clothes that expand, and join the Larson family as they graze, gobble and gorge their way through this festive day. Your resolve to use moderation gives way, inch by inch, as the feeding frenzy picks up steam. Go ahead, slurp Dad's Fuzzy Navel and nosh a few crackers drenched with Shrimpy Artichoke Dip just to get rolling. Then pull up a chair and witness the carving of Adele's Big Bird. Pass the potatoes, pile on gravy, slather on butter, and hear the banter, the bellowing, the ranting and raving as this family proves yet again - there's no place like home for the holidays. In this wry little tome you can choose from 75 kitchen-tested holiday recipes - many from among Adele Larson's file of favorites. And for the health nuts in the family, like Joanne, you'll also find luscious options for the lean - and mean. With this book you get the best of the best from both schools of cuisine, with some vegetarian options to season the pot - and all tested and approved in the kitchens of Southern Living and Cooking Light Books.
