temp-tations® Holiday Countdown

I’m so excited to bring you my temp-tations Holiday Countdown. Throughout December, I’ll be sharing my all-time favorite holiday recipes and tips that are quick, easy, delicious, and will create a gorgeous presentation on your table. Because the holidays should be about more fun & family time, and less stress!

And be sure to check back, as I’ll be adding more recipes and tips over the coming weeks.

Here are the delicious temp-tations holiday recipes I’ve posted so far:

Main Dishes:

Rosemary Pork Tenderloin – One of the fastest cuts of meat you can roast.

Apple and Spice Roasted Turkey Breast – This holiday bird is so easy, you may want to make it year-round.

Orange and Honey Glazed Ham – Made with orange marmalade, honey, and brown sugar, it cooks up with a brown, crispy, sweet skin.

Side Dishes:

Scalloped Potatoes with Ham – Proof positive that scalloped potatoes don’t have to come from a box.

Creamed Corn – The secret ingredient to this dish is a tiny dash of vanilla extract.

Green Beans with Cherries and Candied Pecans – My favorite way to prepare green beans, this dish is made in minutes.

Appetizers/Party Foods:

Asparagus Swizzle Sticks – This fancy appetizer is surprisingly simple to make.

Buffalo Chicken Pizza Bagels – Get the flavor of Buffalo-style wings, without the mess.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip – This recipe is easily doubled and best when served nice and hot.

Desserts, Baked Goodies & Gifts:

Chocolate Chip Pound Cake – A simple and foolproof dessert that you can get in the oven in just minutes.

Microwave Peanut Butter Cup Fudge This fudge only takes 2 minutes in the microwave to make!

Pecan Pie – Enjoy a chewy, gooey, sweet, and delicious pie with minimal effort.

Mom’s Cheesecake Brownies – My mother’s surefire way to turn ordinary brownie mix into something spectacular.

And by the way, my exclusive 25-pc. Carved Old World temp-tations set is absolutely perfect for holiday cooking and baking. This set features a hand-crafted pattern in five gorgeous colors – old world green, cobalt blue, butter cream, cranberry and black.

I have a question: I bought a set of Temp-tations old world ovendish last year for xmas, through the shopping channel. During the weekend I saw they had your oven dish again plus a cookbook called Hot recipes in cool dish, but they are sold out. I checked your website to purchase this cookbook, but I did not find it. Can you help me with this?

Please let me know when you are putting out a new item, so I can continue to add to our collection. Temptations has taken over our kitchen! We also bought many of your items for Christmas gifts for family and friends. When we have.company everyone comments on our (your) items. Keep up the good work! Thank-You. Merry Christmas to you, and yours Kathy Lutz

I am new to Temptations and have really liked the products. The lids, trays, are so versatile. I freeze casseroles and love that they go straight to the oven then the table and still look lovely!

Will you be selling the bakeware set in Cranberry again? I really would love the pie plate and loaf pan but already have the cranberry set started.

Thanks.

I have been collecting Old World Green from QVC and recently bought carved Old World and Old World Rustico. I would love to see more Rustico. I especially love the cream. The Old World dish sets are just not for me because I want a simpler pattern and would love to see dishes in Rustico. I would buy them in a heartbeat. Thanks, Tara, for coming up with all this great bakeware and accessories. I used to buy dishes from another retailer because you could put them in the oven, but I have found they overheat and break in the microwave as they age. I am not sure why. This has not happened with Temp-tations so far so I am very pleased. I just love your products! Keep ‘em coming!

Thank you for all the Temp-tations, I just started collecting and can’t wait to get more. I would love it if you would make a large turkey roaster with a domed lid with handles. I have a couple of other brands and I do not like them. Every thing sticks to the sides and are not deep enough. I would like to have the turkey browned on top but yet not dried up to a prune.

The 2.5 quart was shattered caled customer servise this mor ning and have to say that was probably the most pleasant experience I have ever had to deal with. Daniel was amazng! The problem was taken care of immediately and will have the replacement in no time. I am in love with Temptations, such a “Beautiful” product. Love it!

I received my 13 peice round complete meal oven to table set in Confetti. I love the color but not the craftsmanship. At least three of the pieces have rough edges and I cut my finger on them. Its as if the sandpaper missed the spots. Any suggestions on how to remove them? It was a Christmas gift from my daughter and the first time ever I have had any Temptations.

Tara,
I would love to see you add some platters to your line of Old World. I use so many of your pieces when I am serving, but the one thing missing is a nice platter to serve from. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing such functional pieces to my kitchen. Happy Holidays!
Franca

dear tara,
For the next holiday season, could you bring back other pieces in the old world holiday. The piontcetta piece sold out so quickly this year. Thank you.
