A new year calls for new recipes. I tried out these three recipes over the holiday season. Wow, they are keepers.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year to be in the barn milking cows.

From Thanksgiving to New Year’s, I have recipes scattered all over the countertop as I line up family favorites to make for the holidays. The guaranteed staples are my grandma’s fudge and divinity, Mark’s grandma Preusser’s date filled cookies and my mom’s Christmas morning caramel rolls.
