Weekend Cooking: An End of Year List of Lists
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Today's post is going to be short and sweet because I'm assuming most of you are involved with last-minute holiday prep. My big plans for the day are to bake and finish wrapping the gifts.
I know many families have traditions for their Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners. From a feast of the seven fishes to all-American turkeys to British roast goose or beef. Our only tradition is that I let Mr. BFR dictate the main course for Christmas Eve. This year he asked for steak.
Ha! I say. That means he's doing the main cooking (grilling), and there is little clean up. I had no objections! My biggest job will be baking a boozy cake (likely a rum Bundt cake or maybe a sherry cake).
Next week, I'm going to sum up 2017 on Weekend Cooking and look ahead to my goals for 2018. This week, thanks to the December holidays, I haven't had time to review a cookbook, watch a good foodie movie, or read a good food-related book. Thus I'm going to leave you with a short list of lists for your reading pleasure this long holiday weekend:
- From USA Today's Reviewed: The 15 Most Popular Instant Pot Recipes (including popcorn!)
- From 101 Cookbooks: My Ten Most Popular Recipes (all vegetarian)
- From the Kitchn: 10 Quick Appetizers for a Last-Minute Happy Hour (some planning ahead required)
- From Bon Appetit: The 3 Best Burgers of 2017 (for USA travelers)
- From Grub Street and Mark Bittman: A Year of Cooking Again: The Five Biggest Takeaways from a Year Spent (Back) in the Kitchen (fun read)
- From Southern Living: The Best Cookbooks of 2017 (some new-to-me books)
- From The Washington Post: The Best Cookbooks of 2017 (again, a few discoveries)
Weekend Cooking is open to anyone who has any kind of food-related post to share: Book reviews (novel, nonfiction), cookbook reviews, movie reviews, recipes, random thoughts, gadgets, quotations, photographs, restaurant reviews, travel information, or fun food facts. If your post is even vaguely foodie, feel free to grab the button and link up anytime over the weekend. You do not have to post on the weekend. Please link to your specific post, not your blog's home page.NOTE: Mr. Linky sometimes is mean and will give you an error message. He's usually wrong and your link went through just fine the first time. Grrrr.

Well I already checked one of the lists and printed out the recipe for Quick Vegan Enchiladas with Sweet Potato Sauce. Thanks for posting and linking to them!
We're so busy this time of year our meals revolve around simplicity. Merry Christmas to you!
Some of the cookbooks on the lists you linked are really tempting! I don't follow Southern Living so I was a bit amused by the idea implied and even stated that the reader would want cookbooks that help one to follow rituals of southern hospitality.

Those three burgers look delicious. Now I need to organize and think of goals too. For me, it's really difficult. Hope your new goals and ideas are a success.
Merry Christmas, Beth!
I read that Bittman article yesterday and really enjoyed it and I look forward to looking at the cookbook lists and other articles.
Have a wonderful, happy and healthy Christmas!
Happy Holidays to everyone. Cheers
