Our recipes may cause hunger!
Holiday recipes used to make me miserable every season trying to create the perfect menu. Then I realized the secret – make food you actually enjoy cooking, not what you think you should make.
These dishes work for every celebration throughout the year. Make-ahead appetizers that free up your oven. Desserts that photograph beautifully for those family shots.
My kids love our holiday cooking traditions, especially when they get to help with the decorating and tasting. Those are the moments they’ll remember, not whether the turkey was Instagram-perfect.
Most of these holiday recipes can be prepped days in advance. Nobody wants to be stuck in the kitchen during the party – holidays are about being together.
