Description

We are right in the thick of the holiday season now. This episode has everything you need to plan your parties and get togethers.

I'm bringing you some of my favorite no-bake dessert ideas so that you can whip up delicious treats in a flash. I also have a few wonderful gift ideas, if you're making lists and checking them twice! #ad Check out Baketivity, Catch Sitka, and The California Wine Club for wonderful options!

On this episode I also talk with cookbook author, and the Fine Cooking Drinks Editor, Jill Silverman Hough, about pairing wine with party food. The Party Food and Wine Pairing series that Jill has done for us on TheCookful is rolling out right now. If you head over to TheCookful.com/PartyFood you'll see the recipes as they appear during the days ahead. Also, be sure to check out Jill's two wine-pairing cookbooks:

100 Perfect Pairings: Small Plates To Enjoy With The Wines You Love #ad
100 Perfect Pairings: Main Dishes To Enjoy With The Wines You Love #ad

The meal plan that I walk you through in this episode has some simple meals that you can have on any weeknight, but these are also full of festive flavors in case you have some guests over for a casual holiday get together. Head over to COOKtheSTORY.com/MealPlans to get the meal plan with links to recipes, and the printable grocery list that goes with it. This one is Meal Plan #62.
