A festive and nutritious menu for the Christmas week.

Here are this week's recipes:

• Grilled Fish Brine with Roasted Vegetables - Deliciously spicy.

• Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and homemade Gravy - A beautiful roast to serve during the Christmas dinner.

• Sarmale - Stuffed Cabbage Rolls - A delicious combination of meat, rice and spices, wrapped in flavorful marinated cabbage leaves for a mouth-watering experience.

• Red Green Christmas Salad with fresh Cranberries - A sweet and sour salad that is perfect for your Christmas dinner.

• Christmas Hot Cocoa - Cocoa and spice and everything nice.

We did not include a recipe for the pinecone appetizer - because this is soooo easy to make. You will need to mix cream cheese with chopped dill and green onions (adjust to taste). Use fresh almonds were to decorate the cheese and make it look like a pinecone and add a bit of fresh rosemary for the extra decorative touch.
