During the holiday season, most of us are focused on spending time with family — and food. This week’s Sunday Edition is dedicated to holiday recipes.
Believe it or not, cooking is how I relax. Years ago, I created the BubbleLife Recipe Box in order to have an online home for my recipes so that I could find them easily or have them when I travel.
This weekend’s collection presents some of my favorite recipes and family traditions.

1. Smoked Turkey Breast on the Big Green Egg
Maybe Santa is bringing you a Big Green Egg for Christmas, so you need to be armed and ready with a great recipe. Hopefully, Santa’s elves delivered it a bit early. Click here to learn tips for perfectly smoking your turkey breast on the Big Green Egg: http://bubly.us/3tLk

2. What To Feed Your College Kids The Week Before Christmas
During the holidays, I try not to stress. But it seems like kids with big appetites are always coming and going with their friends — who also have big appetites. Do yourself a favor and pick up a ham, then follow this recipe to cook it in the crockpot. You can stretch it for days with ham sandwiches, ham salad and even Spanish bean soup to keep your cupboard from going bare. Get the recipe here: http://bubly.us/3tLl

3. Not Your Granny’s Cranberry Mold
My friend Julie, who visited for Thanksgiving, made this, and I couldn’t get enough. My favorite rendition was to use it as a spread for my turkey sandwiches the day after. You’ll love having it on your holiday table. Recipe: http://bubly.us/3tLm

7. Sometimes You Just Need A Festive Drink
I’ll probably get called on the carpet for this one, but a few of us like to partake.
The cranberry sangria is a festive favorite in my household. It can be served warmed, too. The Christmas Spritzer is a favorite of my little one. Obviously, I don’t put the vodka in, but he does love to have it poured in a fancy glass. Here are a few drink recipes to happy up your holidays.
