My friend Andrew Zimmern and I are throwing a Holiday Party on Magnolia Network and we hope you’ll join us! Tune in Sunday 12/3 at 2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT on Magnolia Network and streaming (HBO) Max and discovery+!

Put on your holiday sweaters (you won’t be alone, Andrew is in full holiday cheer) and come along for a hilarious afternoon of planning and preparing the party we’ve been meaning to throw for the nearly 30 years we’ve been friends. The menu is delicious and I haven’t laughed (or cried) like this in a while! I hope you’ll join us!

All recipes from the show below. Happy Holidays!

Every year for Hanukkah I make jelly doughnuts (Sufganiyot). They are fried in oil, which is the most significant ingredient of the holiday. This year I made an orange, olive oil, and poppyseed mini bundt cakes instead. Although they are baked instead of fried, they still have the oil in the batter. I finished them with a dark chocolate glaze and a bit of gold to give a nod to the gelt found on many Hanukkah tables. I used marmalade in these mini bundt cakes because it is one of my favorites, but feel free to change up the flavors to suit your taste.

When you’re hosting, oven space is often a challenging feat of timing and choreography, so I “baked” the dinner rolls in the Crockpot. These Crockpot rolls are fluffy, rich with butter and the smell of rosemary will fill your house. The brilliant part is you can plug in your slow cooker anywhere so it is out of the way and your oven is free for the rest of the meal. Just before serving, I brown the tops under the broiler but that is an optional move.

This spicy spinach artichoke dip is my family’s favorite recipe I make every Christmas Eve to eat while we decorate our tree. It is easy and so satisfying. My boys like it SPICY but you can turn that up or down to suit your taste. We also make it for the Super Bowl and pretty much every other gathering, it’s that good!
