While we do have vegetables and more substantial offerings on hand (pulled pork sliders are a favorite) for those making a day of it, we love to go all in on dips. Hot dips, cold dips, dessert dips — we have them all.

For our extended family holiday gatherings, we’ve dispensed with the big meal and go all in on appetizers. We’ve found that not only does it take the pressure off the

The restaurant has the wood-paneled ceiling and nautical touches of a sea captain’s quarters, with indoor seating for 50 at bar, booths and tables. On every wall, even behind the bar, black-and-white photos capture a cavalcade of Englewood’s past, from old Dearborn Street and the Buchan’s Landing Royal Casino to family photos of Platts and Parkses.

In 1896, the three Nichols brothers from Chicago had visions of Englewood as a flourishing “grove town” blossoming with lemon trees.

“I think a lot of people facing food insecurity right now feel very alone and isolated and what I’m trying to do is make sure that they have the skills to feel normal and feel empowered, even though everything else feels like it’s on fire.” — Kiki Rough, on a PBS special

These floral blockbusters have flowers up to 12 inches in diameter, and up to 6-inch cluster, and colors in shades of pink, red and white with uses in containers for the holidays, and then in the landscape next year.

Of all of the holiday plants available, Amaryllis bulbs are often the first to appear in local garden centers – tempting impulse purchases promising magnificent blooms.

When family members or guests rouse from their post-countdown slumbers, these brunch ideas and tips can kick off the new year with flavor.

The first official meal of 2026 should be memorable and flavorful. Chances are late night New Year's Eve revelry will make breakfast a nonstarter, but a New Year's Day brunch

The glint of colorful lights on a big ice cube rattling through a tumbler of amber elixir. The toasty vanilla perfume of barrel char, the punchy spice of distilled rye, a whiff of peat smoke from a faraway land. A great bottle that captures this kind of magic is the definition of a win-win gift because, hopefully, whoever receives it will be in the cheerful mood to crack it open right there and share! That’s just good manners.

These marzipan treats bring edible Santa hats to life with bright-red marzipan, a white sugar pearl as a bobble and desiccated coconut for a furry snowy rim. With a little remodeling, they can even be reworked as Christmas stockings.

BERLIN — Sure, those Santa hat-shaped biscuits are fine, but are they three-dimensional? These marzipan treats bring edible Santa hats to life with bright-red marzipan, a white sugar pearl as
