Holiday Show Stoppers
Are you hungry for some inspiration this year when it comes to your Christmas dinner table? Of course we encourage you to keep the classics around, like your holiday ham and traditional turkey. But why not serve a wider variety and shake things up with a new show-stopping protein?
Every year at Paula’s house, you’ll undoubtedly find a ham, a bird and beef tenderloin, so that all of her guests will surely find something they like. Your guests might enjoy a delicious duck, or maybe lamb chops! If stepping out of your seasonal tradition is a little out of your comfort zone, keep your heavy hitting turkey and dress it up with a different twist, like a sweet and tangy maple cranberry glaze. No matter where you decide to shine your main course limelight, don’t forget to do it with love, and little bit of Southern style.
Let one of these showstoppers take center stage on your holiday dinner table!
Stuffed Beef Tenderloin
Roast Prime Rib of Beef with a Rich Pan Sauce
Honey Mustard and Pecan Coated Lamb Chops
Pork Crown Roast with Stuffing
Crab Stuffed Flounder

Paula, I made your foolproof standing rib roast Christmas Eve. Though I was skeptical with the directions on how to cook it, I trusted you, as I often do, and oh my Lord that was the best ever! My husband, who is hard to please with meat, was very impressed. Thank you for such an easy recipe and wonderful meal. Love all your recipes and watch you daily. Thank you for making me look like a great cook. Merry Christmas Paula to you and all your family and may you have a very blessed New Year. Phyllis

Dear Cindy,
I have learned something new. It has been quite a while since I have been to a baby shower, and I am now prepared and up-to-date. I love the term "sprinkles" and it is nice to know that men are also invited to partake in the excitement! Thank you for a fun article!

Susan Lott is a great party planner! She has tons of great ideas that she needs to share with the online world. I have been begging her to start a Facebook page or Etsy account. The graduation gift that she made me was hand drawn with my name and different definitions for each letter. She framed it and I cherish it.....I also would have paid about $50 for it in a store. Thanks for sharing her idea but this idea is nothing compared to some of her other quick and money saving tips! You should hire her for your creative team!
Love you Susu!
