November 14 – Farmhouse Christmas, by my guest Melissa Behan
Melissa Bahen’s Farmhouse Christmas will enchant and inspire readers with the hallmarks of the Farmhouse series—wholesome, homemade, from-scratch recipes—through a festive, holiday lens: over 70 recipes with 12 bonus holiday crafts and gifts.
Christmas at the farmhouse has all the wonder of a classic Christmas, plus extra doses of coziness and charm. Think festive brunches, family gatherings around a table laden with the most delicious foods, party appetizers, holiday punches and hot drinks, and, of course, cookies, sweet treats, and seasonal desserts.
Melissa Bahen’s third book in the Farmhouse series, Farmhouse Christmas offers holiday meal planning and entertaining straight from the kitchen in her farmhouse to your table. While cookie plate favorites and scrumptious desserts are included, the cookbook also offers a host of breakfast options and holiday dinners along with party foods and beverages for the season. As a bonus, the book also includes Christmas crafts and homemade gifts like Orange Pomanders, Milk Jug Luminarias, Birdseed Ornaments, Christmas Simmering Spices, Homemade Vanilla Extract, and Candy Trains. Farmhouse Christmas will soon be your go-to holiday cookbook for your family holidays.
November 21 – It’s all about a new whiskey, Winchester Bourbon with two guests
David Salmon CEO/Partner, and Ben Stacy National Sales Manager for this wine spirit.
Winchester Bourbon is a whiskey brand licensed by Winchester Ammunition and produced in partnership with the Model 1866 Distillery by Ugly Dog Distillery in Chelsea, Michigan, with spirits distilled in Western Kentucky.
Since 1866, Winchester Ammunition has stood for reliability, craftsmanship, and American ingenuity in the field. For generations, Winchester has been trusted by sports men and women who demand equipment that performs when it matters most.
To honor that shared heritage, Ugly Dog Distillery has created Model 1866 Distillery, a name that nods to Winchester’s founding year and the era of American innovation it represents. This endeavor reflects respect for legacy, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence, and we have made it our mission to echo those ideals in the creation of our bourbons.
Winchester Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the result of that alignment; carefully crafted Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey designed to honor both names. It reflects the same principles that define great hunts and great spirits alike.
