Celebrations

Holidays and special occasions call for celebration, would you agree? We all love traditional gatherings for the obvious holidays, but we also love smaller holidays and love to celebrate each one with a special menu. We love a good 4th of July themed picnic, Valentine's Day treats everyone will love, or "Game-Day" appetizers and entrees made in the Instant Pot.

Consider this your one-stop-shop to every celebratory menu you'll ever need. Looking for a Thanksgiving menu (for 5 special diets)? Or maybe you'd like a "Real-Food Makeover" for your Christmas menu? We've got it!

Roasted Asparagus | High in vitamin K, folate, and vitamin A, and rich with minerals from deep in the ground, asparagus is a superfood we should be eating more! Harvested across America between the months of March and May, roasted asparagus is my favorite way to eat this delicious vegetable. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Sourdough Cobbler | We've enjoyed this tasty cobbler filled with low bush cranberries from the patch down the road, last years frozen rhubarb from the plants next to the driveway, frozen blackberries from the store for something a little different, frozen raspberries from last summer's harvest, and blueberries off the mountains lovingly picked and frozen by my mountain-climbing husband. Delicious! | GNOWFGLINS.com

When my daughter asked for "lamb on a stick" (aka rack of lamb) for her 2nd birthday, I was proud as punch -- and then whipped up this rice pilaf, garnished with rosemary from our tiny urban balcony garden, to go alongside! It's simple, elegant, and perfect for any special occasion.
