Rhubarb Rugelach

1 hr

This recipe is a true keeper, with a surprisingly easy-to-make dough that relies on the magic of whipped butter and cream cheese. While the soft dough chills, prepare a luscious jam with a classic pairing of strawberries and rhubarb. Cook it down to the perfect consistency, ready to be spread and rolled between the dough. For a tantalizing twist, we chose the concentrated flavor of ginger and added a secret ingredient — mace. This lighter and peppery spice complements the tangy fruit, enhances the lemon zest, and fills the jam with a sweet and aromatic spice allure. Get ready to savor each bite of these heavenly treats.

Cascade Turkey Roulade

After years of grilling the turkey, we decided to try something entirely new this year. Inspired by the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, we created a menu to showcase regional flavors with this delicious turkey roulade as the centerpiece. Perfect for smaller gatherings, it is moist and satisfying. As a bonus feature, it is a great hack to safely get the stuffing inside the turkey! The larger the turkey breast, the easier it will be to butterfly and roll. A larger breast gives you more surface area to spreading the stuffing, and it will result in a more impressive pinwheel when you slice the finished roulade. We began by brining the breast with our Northwest Forest Brine, infusing the meat with flavors of the forest, like juniper and California bay leaf. Then, we rubbed it with classic, sagey Poultry Rub. This recipe makes enough for both sides of the breast, but you can dial it down for a half if needed, or double up on the stuffing if, like us, you can eat a whole extra pan.Cornbread and Cascade Mushroom Mix are the foundation of the stuffing, and the earthy flavors are deeply delicious. As an accent on top of the celery and onion, we added in dried tart cranberries, for a little pop of flavor. The mouthwatering presentation of this beautiful roulade made the perfect centerpiece for our Best of the Northwest holiday meal, and the fresh bounty of the region shines through with complimentary spicing.If you've never tied a roast or just want a refresher, here's a sweet clip on How to Tie a Roulade.

Maple Spiced Carrots

Here's a side dish that indulges your sweet tooth during dinner. With some inspiration from pecan pie and some from our pan-Asian super-spice Seattle Salmon Rub, the dish comes together beautifully. Can you put salmon rub on carrots, you ask???? Heck, yes! The toasted savory base of pepper, cumin and coriander is accented with sweet top-notes to make the perfect seasoning. Add a generous amount of maple syrup and butter and these carrots cook down candied and tender. They'll smell of star anise and orange from the Seattle Salmon Rub as the glaze thickens and coats the carrots to perfection. We did an oblique and festive cut on the carrots and, for a bit of crunch, we added toasted whole pecans. This is a delightful change from candied yams but the glaze will work equally well on both. As always, marshmallows optional.

Galaxy Pops

While ice pops are a classic, summertime staple; these are simply out of this world. They naturally get their starry night color from Butterfly Pea Flowers. This recipe was inspired by our Butterfly Pea Flower Horchata. Horchata is a Mexican rice milk beverage that is traditionally flavored with cinnamon. We made these pops a little richer using sweetened condensed milk to add creaminess. Additionally, we took some of the rice pudding base and pureed butterfly pea flowers that have a slight green tea flavor. A galaxy-like effect was created by pouring the creamy white horchata mix on top of the beautiful, deep blue, butterfly base. These pops easily freeze in Dixie cups as a mold. For the green Martian pops, we used some basil and lime juice. Treat yourself to one of each! They're sure to be the star of your hot summer day.To make this a completely vegan/dairy-free recipe, substitute cream of coconut for the sweetened condensed milk in the horchata mix.

Rooibos is an herbal tea from South Africa. It has delicate hints of caramel and woody flavors. Once steeped, it turns a gorgeous rusty-red color. We added aromatic Jamaican Allspice as the secret ingredient in this brew, having notes of nutmeg, cloves and black pepper. For a touch of warmth we added Cassia Chip Cinnamon and sweet mango puree to brighten your glass. Delicious, thirst quenching, and good for you; sipping this tea is a great way to keep cool on a hot summer day!
