SUNDAY (Easy Entertaining) Tuck the children in early and invite some friends for tenderloin steaks with horseradish cream (see recipe). Serve with roasted new potatoes, steamed green beans and dinner rolls. For dessert, chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream with sliced strawberries will ring in the New Year in style.
SUNDAY (Family) Gather the family for slow-cooker enchilada chicken (see recipe) for a casual meal. Serve the chicken with extra corn tortillas and sliced avocados. Christmas cookies make a timely dessert. Tuck the kids in early.
SUNDAY (Family) Buy a spiral-sliced ham and pair it with rice, zucchini and corn casserole (see recipe). Add a romaine salad and whole-grain bread. Your apple crisp is good for dessert, especially with a little vanilla ice cream on top.
SUNDAY (Family) Enjoy crispy roast chicken with orange and thyme for family day: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place a 5- to 7-pound roasting chicken, breast side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves and some coarse salt and pepper all over the skin. Remove ends from 1 large navel orange, cut into thin slices and stuff into cavity, along with 6-8 thyme sprigs. Roast 1 hour 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove chicken from oven; tent with foil and let stand 10 minutes. Slice and serve. (Remove skin before eating to reduce fat and calories.)
