Apple Butter Muffins

Lasagna is a time-consuming dish to make, but it's so popular and easy to serve that the effort seems more than worth it. All the parts of this dish can be made ahead, and the lasagna assembled several hours before baking.
If you're fortunate enough to have extra after stuffing the bird, place it in a greased casserole and drizzle with 1/2 cup (125 mL) Giblet Stock; heat in 400°F (200°C) oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
Sandwich cookies take a little more effort than the average cookie, so they're that much more special. The red flecks of cranberries and sparkly sugar crystals give these cream-filled chocolate cookies a delicate prettiness.
Elizabeth Baird\'s make-ahead appetizer salad just needs assembling before guests arrive. The servings can wait, lightly covered, on plates in the refrigerator. Add a few cherry tomatoes cut in wedges, if desired, and drizzle on the dressing just before carrying the salads to the table.
These tart, lightly spiced berries are a vibrant addition to cheese platters, and a spoonful can also be used as a stand-in for cranberry sauce. A little goes a long way, so consider packing them in two smaller jars and tucking them into gift baskets with crackers and cheese.
Serve these smoky mini kabobs with toothpicks or small metal skewers.
Honey sweetens and enhances the flavour of this walnut-studded tart featuring a sweet crust as crisp and delicious as a cookie. (This is one of the mouthwatering desserts from our September issue "A Slice of Rosh Hashanah" story.)
