Cookbook Review: The Christmas Table & a GIVEAWAY
**This giveaway has ended. Thank you to everyone who participated.
*The postwoman dropped off the latest Gooseberry Patch Early Reviewer book and it is a good one! I love getting a sneak peek at these books and it is even more exciting to be able to give away a copy of the book. Read through the whole post for directions on how to enter the giveaway.
Gooseberry Patch’s The Christmas Table is a spiral bound cookbook with hundreds of recipes perfect for the holidays. Many of the recipes are great to bring or serve at parties. There are six sections: Cozy Christmas Brunch; Chill-Chasing Soups and Breads; Caroling Party Supper; Classic Christmas Dinner; Festive Holiday Fare; Sweet Treats to Share. Though many of the recipes definitely have a holiday feel, they can be used throughout the year. Many of the recipes have less than twelve ingredients and a lot of the ingredients are things that you likely have in your pantry.
The first recipe I tried was from the Cozy Christmas Brunch section. It was a crab quiche and it caught my eye because it seemed very easy but also kind of a luxurious snack.
Crab Quiche
5 T. all-purpose flour
1/2c mayonnaise
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
8 oz. package of shredded Swiss cheese
6 oz can of crabmeat, drained and flaked
9inch pie crust
Combine flour, mayo, eggs and milk in a large bowl and stir. Stir in onions, cheese and crabmeat. I forgot to flake the crab meat and I don’t think it affected the dish. Also, I only used a 5oz package of shredded Swiss cheese. It was on sale and there was no 8oz package to be seen. Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie crust.
Bake uncovered at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
This quiche was delicious! As it baked, the kitchen smelled wonderful. It was beautiful and would have been perfect for a brunch or meal with friends.
I thought it was only fitting that this recipe was on the same page as a lovely story about Christmas Eve pajamas, a tradition that is important to us in the Threaded Together household!
Even though I had my mom stop by and have some for dinner (she loved it too!), I still had a lot of the quiche leftover. I cut it into pie slice pieces and froze it in individual bags. I had a piece for dinner tonight and it still tasted great.

Any meal spent with those I love is the special one! We usually have ham since we just had turkey for Thanksgiving, and a baked pecan/brown sugar/squash dish along with corn mixed with cauliflower. We have some Filipino heritage so there is always rice along with the mashed potatoes or other starch for the American men who don’t “do” rice. :)

My favorite was Breakfast. My Grandfather was a town highway worker. Usually it snowed on christmas and he had to work all hours. He would stop by the house to see if I was up and tell Grandma and I he’d be back by in a certain amount of time. In that time Grandma would have eggs, bacon and the fluffiest pancakes made and waiting. It wasn’t so much a special recipe or a special dish. It was just the special love showed. And as a patent of grown children, I hear them remark about a special meal together, not so much a dish that was make.

I love preparing Thanksgiving meal and enjoying it with my family. I try to prepare all the dishes my Mother used to make. Also love the tradition of the Amalgamation Cake which comes from a family handed-down recipe since the 1950′s. I love all my Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, recipes, crafts and stories.
