As food lovers, the team at Red Cross Talks have been busy planning our menus for the holidays. We were curious what our fellow Red Crossers would be whipping up in their kitchens, so we asked them. Here’s what we found out!
It appears that there is more than one Red Crosser with a sweet tooth. Joan Savoie, from Ontario Zone injury prevention, enjoys making candy orange peels. Alison Frehlich, from National Office public affairs, enjoys baking cookies (lots of them!). And for Heather Cranney, district branch manger in Timmins, it’s all about the peanut brittle.
Len Murphy’s, president of the Woodstock and Stratford branches, most favourite holiday recipe is a morning starter entitled “Santa Breakfast”. Here’s the recipe:
