Recipes

Trying to get away from the same tired menu year-after-year at Christmas dinner? It can be easy to get into a culinary rut. We put together an easy three-course meal that will jazz up any holiday gathering.

Starter

15-Minute Smoked Ham & Farmer's Cheese Pinwheels 
Melted cheese and smoked ham wrapped up in a flaky croissant? Yes please!

Main Course

With only 20 minutes of preparation time, this main course will fool your guests into thinking you've been in the kitchen all day - it's that delicious!

Dessert

Lemon Balm Shortbread Christmas Cookies

Our take on Christmas shortbread utilizes our own lemon balm (with amazing results)! Plus, these are always so fun to bake with Bella.

We all know that Yum Spice is the ideal combo for your fancy holiday preparations - I'm sure it served all of you well during Thanksgiving dinner! But did you know that it can also turn an everyday breakfast into a delicious feast to start your day?

Try this: season your scrambled eggs with the spice mix, then top it with sauteed  red peppers. As we've noted in a previous newsletter, mixing Yum Spice with softened butter and spreading it on toast makes for a nice treat as well!

Finally, don't forget to get your greens in: toss leafy greens with our Fangboner Rosemary Oil and Secret Menu Salt to top off this breakfast of champions. Chat us up on our website to inquire about the latter two ingredients - they are exclusive/only available upon request!

If you need inspiration to jazz up your old standby meal on Thanksgiving Day, you should give these simple dishes a try! Pictured above is a simple shrimp recipe that is out of this world because of our holiday Yum Spice Blend. Check it out!

Coat your fresh shrimp in cornmeal and liberally season it with Yum Spice Blend and Old Bay seasoning. Then, on medium-high, heat your skillet, which I recommend greasing with coconut oil spray. Add the shrimp and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Voila! 

Now for our creamy mashed potatoes:

Use red potatoes for this recipe, boiling them or pressurizing them in an Instant Pot for four minutes. Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain the water.

Season the potatoes liberally with minced garlic, cream of spinach, and Fangboner Farms Secret Salt (message us if you'd like a bottle - it's only available upon request). Mash up all the ingredients and serve with your shrimp on top! Another amazing, simple meal from the Fangboner Kitchen.
