it’s one meal. Christmas is
wonderful, too, but you have
all these different possibilities
for Christmas Eve dinner
and Christmas-morning

How did Ladd
get the nickname
Marlboro Man?
— Kathy Anderson, Elyria, OH
Years ago when my best friend Hyacinth

had her third child, I threw a baby shower
for her and invited a bunch of people who
had never been to my house. Ladd was on
the porch, and as guests were arriving,
I heard one of them, Carla Brown, say,
“My gosh, who is that Marlboro Man sitting
on the porch?” When I started my blog
back in 2006, I thought you should never
reveal your real name on the Internet, so
I just referred to Ladd as Marlboro Man!

If taffy tastes like fried

chicken, can you have
it for dinner? It’s one
of about 25 kinds of
saltwater taffy the
store stocks around the
holidays, including other
fun flavors like cinnamon
roll, passion fruit, maple
bacon and apple pie.

On weekends during the
holidays, the bakery sells
about 1,000 cookies a
day, which explains why
the chefs go through
two tons of butter
a week! The cookie
options include sugar,
molasses, gingerbread
and snickerdoodle.
The bakery team set up

a cookie-decorating
station that’s open to all.
They originally designed
it for kids, but it’s just
as popular with adults.
A mere $2 buys you

of frosting and all the
sprinkles you can handle.

on the tradition and open a shop of his own: Kyle wanted his shop

magic: My usual three-hour-plus roast
was ready in an hour—and I swear it was
juicier than ever (plus, the stream of
steam that comes out at the end is so
satisfying!). I was so excited about the
Instant Pot that I partnered with the
company to create my own collection,
and it’s finally here! To celebrate, I’m
sharing an Instant Pot version of my
Dr Pepper pulled pork. The original
recipe appeared in the first issue of
my magazine, but that one took about
six hours of low-and-slow cooking in
the oven—this one takes just an hour.
Friends, I’m giving you back five hours
of your life!

Citrus-Brined Roast Turkey
Prep time: 45 minutes ★ Total time: 5 hours (plus 24-hour brining)
BRINE
5 bay leaves
5 garlic cloves, minced
Peel of 3 oranges, plus 1 orange, cut into wedges
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 lime, cut into wedges
3 cups apple juice or apple cider
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1½ cups kosher salt
3 tablespoons peppercorns
TURKEY
1 12- to 14-pound turkey (save the giblets
and neck for the gravy)
1 orange
1 stick salted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus 4 to 5 sprigs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 Combine all the brine ingredients in a large pot

with 2 gallons cold water. Stir until the sugar and salt
dissolve. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover.
Let cool completely.
2 Pour the cooled brine into a large brining bag or pot.
Add the turkey and refrigerate for 16 to 24 hours.
3 When ready to roast, remove the turkey from the brine.
Submerge the turkey in a pot of fresh cold water. Allow to sit
in the clean water for 15 minutes to remove the excess salt.

in a large roasting pan. Using a vegetable peeler, shave off
thick pieces of orange peel and slice them very thin (reserve
the orange). Combine with the butter, thyme leaves, salt and
pepper in a bowl. Smear the butter mixture all over the skin
and in the crevices so that the turkey is totally covered. Slice
the reserved orange into wedges and place in the cavity of the
turkey along with the thyme sprigs. Cross the legs and tie them
together with kitchen twine. Pour the chicken broth and wine
into the bottom of the pan. Cover the whole pan with heavy-

Giblet Gravy
Prep time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Makes: 4 cups
Turkey giblets and neck

Turkey pan drippings
5 to 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey
broth, plus more if needed
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 Put the giblets and neck in a saucepan

and cover with water by 2 inches. Bring
to a gentle boil over medium heat, then
reduce the heat to low and simmer for
1 hour. Remove the giblets and neck and
set them aside. Reserve the cooking water.
2 Pour the turkey drippings into a bowl.
Let them separate, then use a ladle to
scoop the clear fat into a separate bowl.
Strain the remaining darker drippings.
3 Heat 5 tablespoons of the fat in a
medium saucepan over medium heat.
Sprinkle in 5 tablespoons flour and
immediately begin whisking it around to
make a paste. If the mixture looks a little
greasy, whisk in 1 more tablespoon flour.
Once the paste is the right consistency,
cook until a deep golden brown, whisking
frequently, 15 to 20 minutes. A nice brown
roux is the secret to good gravy!
4 Pour in the broth along with 1 cup
of the strained drippings. Cook, whisking
constantly, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
5 Meanwhile, remove the neck meat and
finely chop the giblets. Add as much as
you like to the gravy and thin with some
of the giblet cooking water if necessary.
Season with salt and pepper.

Total time: 40 minutes
¼ cup olive oil

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into

into sticks (about ½ inch thick)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme,

3 tablespoons honey
1 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over

medium-high heat. Add the carrots,

2 Reduce the heat to low and add the
butter, thyme and 2 tablespoons honey.
Toss until the butter is melted and the
vegetables are well coated, 2 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with
the remaining 1 tablespoon honey and top

For every memorable holiday dish,
only a dollop of Daisy® will do.
Every December, our pastor
hosts an epic open house. He
invites the whole congregation
to the parsonage, and we all
show up! His lovely wife, Capie, does
the baking, and she spends weeks and
weeks preparing. She makes all sorts of
appetizers, plus every Christmas cookie
you can imagine. It’s a beautiful thing.
My version of a holiday open house is a
lot simpler: I’ll put out a big ham and all
the fixings, plus easy snacks for a crowd.

t’s not easy to take a vacation when you
run a cattle ranch: The cows never take
a day off, even during the holidays! But
the Drummonds make sure to carve out
time every year to go to Vail, CO, their
favorite getaway. Ladd first came to this
picturesque ski town with his family
when he was little, and in 2012, he and Ree decided
they would continue the tradition with their own
kids. Ever since, the Drummonds have been piling
into their SUV and driving more than nine hours from
Oklahoma to Colorado a couple of times a year. They
usually visit in the summer and winter (sometimes
Ladd has to skip the summer trip), and while both
are dreamy, the ski season can’t be beat. Ladd and
the kids hit the slopes and Ree gets to lie low. “I
have a clinical fear of standing at the top of steep
inclines,” she says. She has become an expert on Vail’s
nonskiing activities instead—and she knows where
to find the best lattes, cute winter gear and perfect
