For Christmas Eve, Selena and her chef friends decided to cook up a seafood medley. Chef Eric decided that it would be perfect to add some Southern flavor to the meal, with the pair cooking up Shrimp and Banana grits. Black pepper roast beef and gravy were also on the menu.
Celebrating Her Roots
Together with Chef Claudette, Selena cooked up a traditional Mexican holiday meal for Christmas lunch. Mains included roast ham, salsa matcha, Tamales, Charred Poblano rice, and salad.
Homemade Treats
From homemade pasta to her lobster dish, Selena loves cooking up homemade meals for the holidays, whether her own recipes or something she learned from the chefs. “Welcoming someone into my home and getting to cook their recipes is really fun, and so is having my friends try it,” Selena remarked.

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch

]]>Dinner Rolls
Dinner rolls are a fan favorite for a reason. Switch it up this year with potato rolls instead of plain. They’re fluffy and decadent and make an excellent option for use to make leftover sandwiches for the following days.
Stuffed Veggies
Everyone has heard of stuffed peppers or cabbage. This year, stuff something different; artichokes are a fun, delicious choice. It may look intimidating and complex, but once you master the prep, they’re a breeze.
Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are simple, but you can elevate them by adding some grated Manchego cheese, and your mouth will water all
day. The flavor of buttery potatoes with the savory, tangy, and slightly sweet notes of Manchego cheese is a match made in heaven. If you’re not feeling regular potato, swap them for sweet potatoes. It is a delicious, sweet twist on a traditional side and is perfect with brown sugar, and drizzled honey.
Festive Chicken
Swap out your ham for a full chicken, and stuff it with the warm flavors of Christmas, such as herbed butter, baked cranberries and oranges.

]]>Preparing The Dough
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar together with a hand mixer until well blended. Then, add egg, milk, and peppermint extract to the mix and beat until everything is blended together. Remove half the dough from the bowl, shape it into a disc, and wrap it with plastic. Cover the remaining dough with red food coloring. Then, shape the red dough into a disc and place both discs in the fridge for at least two hours.
Blend The Dough
Remove the two discs from the fridge and divide each one into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch long rope and twist one red and one white piece together, forming a cane. Once you’re finished rolling each cane, place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Finally, preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the cookies until lightly golden in color. Allow sufficient time to cool before serving.

쿠킹랩에서 1월 함께할 3가지 딸기 디저트 
. . ‘스트롱베리프레지에’ In Japan, Christmas has been marketed as a romantic and elegant holiday for many years, and most people see it that way. That’s why they celebrate it with simple cakes like strawberry shortcakes. Most hotels, restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and other businesses start promoting their Christmas cakes in November and they are usually sold out far before the holidays.
Even though Christmas is not as big in Japan as in some Western countries, it’s still a pretty festive time of the year. It’s only days before the New Year so it’s a chance for many people to spend time with families in a way similar to other countries that celebrate Christmas.
