Individual Brandied Apricot Galettes

These brandy-scented apricot treats are perfect for elegant entertaining, but they're also a nice alternative to a Danish pastry for a holiday brunch. You'll appreciate how easy they are to make almost as much as you'll enjoy eating them. If the dried apricots are especially moist, you may have brandy remaining in the bowl after microwaving. If so, strain it and reserve for another use (such as adding to your coffee!).

Sweet-and-Sour Chicken Stir-Fry with Bean Sprouts

A little chicken goes a long way with a wealth of healthy vegetables that kids will gobble up. They'll love the sweet-and-sour flavours of this nice gloppy sauce, which is perfect over rice. If you don't have a microwave oven, serve the crunchy bean sprouts raw.
