Truffled Mushrooms
Trifolato in Italian comes from the name for truffle in
dialect "trifola," and means prepared like a truffle, that is, cooked
with garlic and parsley in olive oil. I adapted this from an old Italian recipe.
My husband and I really like these mushrooms.

Imagine - perfect popovers that never fail! The addition of baking powder is

Dessert Course:
Homemade Pies of
your choice:
Old-Fashioned Mincemeat Pie
This has been my favorite holiday pie since I was a

homemade mincemeat.
Pecan Pie
The only way this pie
could be better tasting is to serve it warm and top with a big scoop of
vanilla ice cream.
Fantastic Lemon Meringue Pie
This lemon meringue pie is exceptional.
