Another holiday favorite in our home growing up was Canadian pork pie. My father was French Canadian and this was passed down from his side. I make it every New Years day in my own home. It is similar to shepherds’ pie. The recipe as it was passed down to me, includes a mixture of lean ground pork and beef, potatoes and onions, and various spices including clove and nutmeg.

A winter staple recipe for us is homemade chicken soup. Needing no one else’s accolades, I humbly admit I think my chicken soup is the best I have ever had. I tweak it a bit each time I make it, so it is always a bit of a surprise, but I do love it and never tire of this principal dining delight.
