Growing up, my mother always made sushi rolls to bring to holiday parties. It was
her signature dish and everyone always rushed to get seconds because the lengthy
hand-rolled process meant it was only made a few times a year. As I grew up, my

become one of my holiday staples as well.

In the spring my mom would plant seeds in the garden, my family would wait with
anticipation for the first summer harvest. We would indulge in the fresh produce and
savor the flavors of a true homegrown product. One of the last crops to pick was
the abundant acorn squash, which was hardy enough to last through the winter.
Around the holidays we still get to enjoy the gardens bounty and are thankful the
days will start to get longer again soon.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange squash cut side
down; cover sheet tightly with aluminum foil. Roast until tender when pierced with

sage; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5
minutes. Add rice and 1 3/4 cups water; bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to

Yule Log
From Ashley Hilbert, MCD Class of 2015
The Yule Log is always baked in Grand Rapids by my mom. On Christmas day, it
makes the 2 1/2 hour drive through the snow with us to Detroit, where it is then
eaten by friends and family.
INGREDIENTS:
Cake6 Egg Whites at room temp
3/4 C Sugar
6 Egg Yolks
1/3 C Unsweetened Cocoa
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
Dash salt
DIRECTIONS:
Grease bottom of 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" jelly roll pan, line with wax paper and grease
lightly again. Preheat oven to 375F. Beat egg whites just until soft peaks form- add
1/4 C sugar, 2Tbsp at a time until stiff peaks form. With same beaters, beat egg
yolks adding 1/2 C sugar, 2 Tbsp at a time until very thick- about 4 min. At low
speed beat in cocoa, vanilla and salt just until smooth. Fold cocoa mixture into egg
whites just until blended. Spread in pan and bake 20 min. Sift 10X sugar generously
on linen dish towel, turn cake onto towel, carefully peel off paper and roll up towel.
Cool 1/2 hour seam aide down.
For filling, combine ingredients and beat until thick. Refrigerate 1/2 hour. Carefully
unroll cake, spread with filling and re-roll, seam side down. Cover loosely with foil
and refrigerate at least 1 hour ( or freeze- I usually freeze as it seems to cut and
serve better). Sprinkle with 10X sugar before serving.
31
32
S auc e:
1 c up brown sugar
1/2 c up heavy c ream
1/2 c up butter (100 g)
DIRECTIONS:
1 Combine dates and water in a pan and bring to a boil, remove from heat and stir
in baking soda. Let cool
2 Beat butter and sugar together. Add eggs gradually and beat mixture thoroughly.
Mix in vanilla.
3 Combine flour and baking powder, fold into the wet mixture. Do not over-mix the
dough.
4 In a Bundt pan, bake at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes
5 While cake is baking, make caramel sauce. Combine all ingredients and bring to a
boil, then simmer for 2-5 minutes, until mixture is thick.
6Take cake out of the oven and let cool. Remove cake from pan on an inverted
plate. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
33
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Beat with
electric mixer on medium to high speed until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour batter in a greased 9x13x2-inch baking pan.
Bake 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Serve with
ice cream or whipped cream, or dust with powdered sugar. Makes 12 servings.
34
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, combine white sugar, light brown sugar, and softened butter. Beat until light
and fluffy by hand or in an electric mixer. Then add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla to the
mixture. Blend for several minutes. After batter is well mixed, add flour, backing soda, and a
pinch of salt. Batter will be fairly loose. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight. ** Put
peanut butter cups in the fridge too, they will be easier to handle later!
To bake: Preheat oven to 350 F.**Bring dough out at the same time you start the oven
preheating.
Use a mini muffin pan to bake cookies and a 1 inch scoop to portion out dough. After all the
cups of the pan are filled, bake for six or seven minutes, or until it is starting to get browner on
the edges. While the cookies are baking, make sure all the candy is unwrapped. If the candy is
cold, I can easily unwrap 24 in seven minutes. It takes longer if the candy is warm. When the
timer goes off, remove the pans from the oven. The cookies will have puffed. Firmly place a
peanut butter cup in the middle of each cookie. Cookie edges should be even with or above
the candy, as much as possible. Place back in the oven for 45 seconds to one minute. No
longer! Remove and cool on racks for some time until the chocolate has set back up again. This
will take at least an hour. Do not rush this part.

Blueberry Crisp
From Emily Blachly, DI Class of 2014
Every summer, my family has an abundance of fresh blueberries from our many
backyard bushes, so we freeze and store them for the rest of the year. As a result,
blueberry crisp is a staple at any family event, no matter the time of year.
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbs flour
6 cups blueberries
Juice from one lemon
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray
In a large bowl, mix the sugar and flour
Add the blueberries and lemon juice and gently toss with the sugar. Transfer the
blueberries to the prepared baking dish.
In a food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, and butter and pulse the
ingredients until it resembles coarse meal. If you dont have a food processor, work
the mixture with your fingers by rubbing the ingredients between your thumbs,
fingers.
In a small bowl, add the oats, cinnamon, and salt, and mix together.
Evenly sprinkle the mixture over the berries.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is slightly brown. Serve the crisp hot or cold.

Sugar Cookies
From Lynn Zhang, DI Class of 2014
This recipe actually came from my high school English teacher. This was the first
cookie I made from scratch (not from a box or refrigerated tube). They were so easy
and so delicious that I have made these nearly every year for my family around the
holidays.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
tsp salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tbsp cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Over a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut in the butter and blend with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles
cornmeal.
Stir in the lightly beaten egg, cream and vanilla. Blend well. Dough may be chilled,
if desired.
On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Sprinkle with sugar, cut
into desired shapes. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until delicately brown.
45
46
DIRECTIONS:
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar and cocoa.
Cut in butter (or soften the butter and mix with the dry ingredients) until mixture
resembles coarse crumbs (I used my food processor).
Press firmly into a greased 13 x 9 in. x 2 in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for
10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in saucepan (I used the microwave), heat milk, vanilla and 1 cup of
chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
Pour over the crust. Sprinkle with nuts, coconut, toffee bits and remaining chocolate
chips, press down firmly.
Bake for 18- 20 minutes. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
1 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners sugar
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners'
sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paperlined cookie sheet.
2.
3. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping)
and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
4.
5. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely
simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
6. Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small
portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put
back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
