Stuffed dates are a simple and sweet way to elevate your holiday party table. With no cooking required, this low-fuss dish is as tasty as it is festive.
The flavors here lean on the sweet side, so you can serve it as an appetizera dessert.
Fresh goat cheese is relatively mild and welcomes other flavor additions, so I blended in some lemon, spicy honey, and thyme. Fill each date with the cheese mixture, then top with a crunchy sesame almond . I like to use the leftover thyme leaves and stems to garnish this dish, making a wreath shape for a festive look.

Rum Ball Cookies Recipe on Food52Rum balls remind me of a boozy chocolate baklava sans the pastry. One or two are probably enough, but I’ve been known to go through a whole handful in one sitting during the holidays. I prefer the texture of the vanilla/Nilla wafers to be as smooth as possible, with any crunch arising solely from the nuts. Don’t forget to mix the rum and honey together separately or else the honey won’t dissolve and the mixture might get unevenly sweet. I also like to add a little bit of cornstarch to the confectioners' sugar to reduce stickiness; this will vary with the humidity levels. Save those little bags of silica gel beads that show up in your dried food goods and reuse them when storing the rum balls.

Latke Patacones Recipe on Food52This recipe is inspired by the crunchiness of patacones, a snack that I was introduced to during grad school in Costa Rica and widely enjoyed across Central and Latin America. For the latke mix, I am a strong advocate for using a box grater over a food processor (the sooner you learn that the secret ingredient to any latke is knuckle skin, the better). Serve with a healthy dollop of refried black beans, and drizzle some Cholula chipotle hot sauce on top to bring it all together.
