“It breaks my heart to hear that the worst part of the holidays for a lot of people is making the holiday meal. By the time you shop for the food, and make the standard feast you’ve spent so long prepping, it’s no wonder you’re overwhelmed,” said host Mary Berg. “With my shortcuts and time saving strategies, I’m going to make the holidays so easy.”
In “Mary Makes It Merry”, Berg provides simple festive recipes that come together quickly, starting off with an enjoyable Cinnamon Roll Bread for breakfast. Then, for the main event, a Stuffed Turkey Roulade that cuts turkey worries in half, while keeping all of the classic components intact, including flavourful stuffing and tart cranberries. Holiday sides round out the plate with Berg’s recipes for Golden Crispy Potatoes and Caramelized Carrots, and then she finishes off the menu with homemade Cranberry Sauce with a twist.
In the spirit of easy and fun entertaining, the holiday-themed episode will be just the trick to surviving and enjoying the process of cooking a holiday feast.
