Kristen Olson from Betty Crocker - 2013 “Top 10” Red Hot Holiday Trends

From savory to sweet, elegant appetizers, festive cocktails, divine desserts and exciting new twists on old favorites, Kristen can share the “Top 10” Red Hot Holiday Trends heating up from coast to coast for 2013 and recipes to bring them to life in home kitchens.

Betty Crocker's 2013 Red Hot Holiday Trends: Sweet & Savory Cookies - A biscuit-shortbread hybrid from France, sablés have been named the cookie of the year in our test kitchens. For a salty-sweet flavor contrast, we added an unusual savory element—Kalamata olives!—and dark chocolate chips. The result? Mind-blowing, melt-in-your mouth goodness.
