Is holiday cooking a thing of the past?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At Evening Edge, our goal, quite simply, is to help you figure out what’s for dinner. Whether you’re looking for a quick home-cooked meal, a restaurant reservation or a take-out suggestion, we try to provide easy alternatives for you.
A colleague and I were having a “discussion” (sounds so much nicer than a disagreement, doesn’t it) on which Easter recipes to offer. Since the focus of the website is fast and easy, he suggested ham steaks or lamb chops. Even though I tried to be open-minded, it was obvious that we were not seeing eye to eye. My first thought was “Dude, it’s Easter.” Surely this is one time to make a little extra effort, basically, coating a ham with mustard and brown sugar and sticking it in the oven for an hour. After all, it’s not like you’re gonna serve turkey burgers on Thanksgiving just because it’s faster.
Of course, I always like to think I’m right, but there have been one or two occasions when that hasn’t been the case (don’t tell). I began to wonder. Am I totally off base? Is holiday cooking still worth the added time or is that a thing of the past?
