Good Shepherd Limited edition Porcelain ornament by American artist P Buckley Moss at Canada Goose Gallery in Waynesville, Ohio. Ornament comes in its own gift box.

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat meringue powder and water until frothy and starting to stiffen. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and thick. Add more water 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed. Icing should hold its shape without being too stiff to work with. Add desired food coloring and beat until well incorporated.
  2. To thin icing for flooding, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. It should hold its shape for a couple of seconds when drizzled on top of the icing and then start to slowly melt into itself.
CAULIFLOWER-AFREDO-Canada-Goose-Gallery
Jan 14, 2021

Quick, easy, and family-friendly, our first recipe of 2021 is from the Food Network Comfort Food Collection! This surprisingly simple and delicious cauliflower alfredo sauce with pasta and shrimp is perfect for a quiet, comforting meal at home.  It might even be a fun way to get everyone into the kitchen and away from their computers. Bon appétit

Ingredients

  • Sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 pound fettuccine noodles
  • 1 cup 2 percent milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, lightly smashed
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
  • Olive oil, for searing the shrimp
  • 15 to 20 peeled medium shrimp
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook at a low boil until very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the cauliflower with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain in a colander, reserving the boiling water for the pasta.
  2. Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 10 minutes).
  3. Make the sauce while the pasta cooks. In a blender, combine the cauliflower with the milk and puree until smooth.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the butter and garlic until the butter melts. Add the cauliflower puree and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the garlic. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan.
  5. Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat and add some olive oil. Sear the shrimp briefly on both sides until just cooked through.
  6. Use tongs to remove the pasta from the water and transfer it to the skillet with the sauce. Add 1/3 cup pasta water. Turn the heat back to medium and toss to combine until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Add the shrimp and garnish with the parsley.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until mixture is combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
  • Shape dough into 3/4-inch balls. For each full snowman cookie, on an ungreased or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet, place 2 dough balls side by side with one side touching. Press thumbs into each ball to form an indentation in each.  Repeat with remaining dough balls, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.  For heads only, use one dough ball.
  • Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack. Let cookies cool.  Fill each indentation with the icing (I used decorating bags and #2 or #3 tip. Let icing dry for several hours.
  • Tint some of the royal icing black, and some orange.  Using a small decorating (#1) tip and black icing, apply buttons and eyes.  With the orange, add a carrot nose.
  • Let cookies dry completely, ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (Crisco)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Clothespins wrapped in foil or lady lock molds

Filling:

  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening (Crisco)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • Additional confectioners’ sugar for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the butter, vegetable shortening, and sugar for about 4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Then mix in the egg yolks. Finally, mix in the flour and water until combined. Chill dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle your work surface with flour. Roll out 1/4 of the dough at a time until it’s about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into strips that are 1/2-inch wide and 10 inches long. Then wind the strips around the foil-wrapped clothespins (or lady lock molds.) Bake on a cookie sheet for about 15 minutes or until the horns are just barely starting to brown.
  • Remove the horns from the oven. Allow them to cool for about 2 minutes; then carefully remove them from the clothespins. (Don’t let the horns cool completely on the molds or the horns will crumble easily. The horns will also crack more if they are overbaked.) Let the horns finish cooling.
  • In the meantime, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, heat the milk and flour over medium-high heat while constantly whisking. Cook 8-10 minutes until thick. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter, vegetable shortening, and salt 5-6 minutes or until fluffy. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Then mix in the milk and flour paste and vanilla. Beat until combined and fluffy.
  • Put the filling in a piping bag and then fill each horn. Before serving, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.
