Dear Readers,

e are so excited to bring you our first holiday issue! This one is near and dear to our hearts because the holidays are a time of love, comfort, memories, and, of course, food. Cozy up to the fireside as you read about Hanukkah traditions, Fat Tuesday foods, and our very own contributor, Lynn Kandler, the subject of our Snack Sheet spotlight. Most importantly, get ready to finish (or start) your shopping list by utilizing our first annual Small Business Shopping Guide. This is a perfect way to support small retailers around the country who have the ability to ship unique food and kitchen items directly to your doorstep. Find items such as maple syrup, baked goods, special diet foods, snarky kitchen dĂŠcor, sipping vinegar, coffees, cookie cutters, and so much more. Visit page 11 to get shopping and find the joy in intentional gifting. We are ready to serve you bread pudding and holiday drinks. Toast in the New Year with a Manischewitz Martini or the non-alcoholic Miracle Mosas. If you are looking for the perfect addition to your appetizer table, try our Pomegranate Cranberry Salsa on page 25 or the Cream Cheese Salmon Rolls on page 34. Swap out your traditional turkey flavors with a spicy Asian recipe, and do not forget to include your plant-based family members by serving our Creamy Pumpkin Gravy over gluten-free pasta or mashed potatoes. This holiday season may look a bit different, but we hope you find recipes to include all the diet needs of the family members at your table. Perhaps you will even find the perfect gift for the foodie in your life.
Happy Holidays! Lisa and Rohana
