WITF Cooks Chef Donna Marie Desfor makes her annual pre-holiday visit to Smart Talk Thursday and it's always a fun show.

This year our theme is "spicing up the holidays" by turning up the flavor on traditional meals -- easy, quick ideas you can use to make your meal even more flavorful.

That includes fresh and dried spices and different ways to use them, hot sauces and condiments like mayonaisse, mustard, sour cream and yogurt. Then there are onions, garlic and butter and oils. And of course none of this would be complete with a holiday beverage such as hot chocolate, wine, cider and all those infused vodkas.

This show is not just about food either. We like to hear about your holiday memories and traditions -- even if they don't involve good.
