Bread - Cranberry Scones

A quick basic scone recipe with traditional holiday ingredients ... great treat for Christmas morning! Serve warm with butter and tea!

Cheese - White Chili

This has ground turkey, salsa, corn, great Northern beans and jalapeno pepper Cheddar cheese. I requested this recipe from my co-worker after she brought it into one of our many potlucks. It is very tasty and a little spicy; if you don't like it spicy, cut the amount of cheese in half - it will still have a little kick! This recipe is really easy, and even the pickiest eaters will love it.

Soups Stews And Chili - Roasted Green Chile Stew

Hearty New Mexico inspired dish that can be made vegetarian simply by omitting the pork. This can be labor intensive and will test your multi-tasking skills if already roasted chiles are not available.

Desserts - Pumpkin Cake Iii

Delicious pumpkin spice cake baked in a sheet pan. Very moist and great for pot-lucks. When cool, top with your favorite cream cheese frosting.
