Spreading some everyday holiday cheer? No matter. At the center of it all is enjoyment, and classic comfort-food proteins are a tasty solution.<\/p>\n

\"Roasted<\/p>\n

Nothing brings back holiday memories or makes a meal feel special like a perfect cut of beef, and our Roasted Prime Rib<\/a> is ideal. Thin slices of tender, juicy beef with a hollandaise sauce, broccoli and Mediterranean mashed potatoes is a holiday classic.<\/p>\n

\"Smoked<\/p>\n

As the days grow shorter, a Smoked Pork Loin<\/a> provides the pleasure of indulging in a meal that tastes is if it has been slow-cooked over a warm fire. Served with a small salad, fresh fruit and golden hash-brown potatoes, it adds pleasure to any day.<\/p>\n

\"Turkey<\/p>\n

\"Turkey<\/p>\n

The holiday season wouldn\u2019t be complete without turkey, and we have two options that elevate this traditional protein. Turkey Tenderloin Schnitzel<\/a> is a delicious twist on a German classic. Lightly breaded turkey slices with a cranberry-orange relish and a side of smashed Yukon potatoes could become a new favorite. The Turkey Cavatappi<\/a> recipe takes turkey tenderloins and combines them with Italian pasta and a hearty mushroom and green pea sauce. Old-World flavors meet traditional holiday fare.<\/p>\n

\"Chicken<\/p>\n

Turkey isn\u2019t the only poultry popular during the holidays. Chicken breast<\/a> is something you can call on during the holidays and beyond. What makes this dish special is the bed of quinoa duxelles upon which the chicken and accompanying vegetables are served. Sauteed mushrooms and shallots simmered in white wine and combined with quinoa make an eye-pleasing presentation.<\/p>\n

\"Shrimp<\/p>\n

Shrimp, always popular during the holiday season, takes a star turn in our Shrimp De Jonghe<\/a> recipe. It\u2019s a colorful fiesta of tender shrimp, chopped spinach, a three-grain blend and finished with charred tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Happy eating, and happy holidays indeed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
