Author: Stephanie Hansen

Month by month, each section opens with a personal narrative that speak to the highlights of the season, whether reflecting on traditional holidays or the quiet wonders of the winter landscape. With her trademark humor, Hansen opens her heart and her kitchen to readers and home cooks who may appreciate a tasty Pomegranate Old-Fashioned paired with a Baked Party Brie and who embrace the opportunity to gather with loved ones to enjoy comfort food at its finest.

From soups to salads to entrées to desserts—featuring dishes like Beer Cheese Wild Rice Soup, Braised Red Cabbage with Apples, Juicy Lucy Cheeseburger Tater Tot Hot Dish, and Banana Bread Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting—accompanied by tender remembrances and insightful tips, this cookbook continues the tradition of Hansen hospitality in the true north.
