A Few More Holiday Favorite Dishes Made To Share With You

I also made breaded boneless pork chops on New Years Day. Along with that I made homemade scalloped potatoes. An up-and-coming executive chef shared how to make this recipe. At this time I will not give away this yummy recipe but I will share with you that an important ingredient is using heavy whipping cream. I also made my famous butter ball cookies for Christmas. This year I used chopped pecans and I usually make them with chopped walnuts. I did not like them as well with pecans so back to making them with walnuts.
I would have to say that the favorite dish made for Christmas had to be the roast. Made a New York Strip roast. I found that what really worked with this entree was you brush the uncooked meat with melted butter then you put the dry rub spices on the meat. I believe the butter not only coats the roast but allows for the spices to stay on the roast and what a delicious entree it was.  I used coarse Kosher salt and I ground fresh peppercorns along with fresh ground Montreal steak seasoning and combined it all together and that is what I used to season the roast. Let me tell you the New York Strip roast is an excellent cut of meat and you do not have to worry about dealing with a bone for it was boneless so there really was no waste. It would not have been a complete meal without the fresh ground horseradish sauce to accompany the beef. Also made Gulf shrimp with fettuccine too. I have found if you can find a place to purchase homemade fresh pasta that works best with that dish.
I hope I have given you a few suggestions. I do not cook like this everyday but when I do cook I would like to think of myself as a decent cook.
