New Twists On Traditional Holiday Favorites

(NAPSI)—During the holiday season, many creative cooks find ways to make their guests feel special by giving them something new to try. With some clever recipe tweaks, it can be easy to improve on traditional holiday favorites. Sometimes all it takes is a simple ingredient substitution to take a dish from “the usual” to “surprising and memorable.”

For example, substitute dried cranberries for raisins or nuts in a carrot salad, pumpkin bread or your favorite stuffing. Instead of stuffing made from plain white bread, the classic holiday roasted turkey can get a special new flavor from stuffing made with Aloha Spirit. King’s Hawaiian, the family-owned company best known for its line of Hawaiian bread products made from its authentic Island recipe, has developed a cranberry-studded stuffing that uses cubes of its Original Hawaiian Sweet Round Bread or Rolls in place of ordinary white bread, and adds another taste of Hawaii with macadamia nuts instead of traditional chestnuts.
