Dishes to Elevate Your Holiday Meals
The clock is ticking and Christmas is almost here! Whether you still have shopping to do or have everything ready to go, you can always add a little more to the festivities with delicious food and drinks. Celebrating the holidays might look different from years past, but I suggest making great food that sets the tone for a memorable meal. Get out your nice dishes, add name plates and have fun!
Add a few of these items to your menu for your holiday celebrations.
Appetizers
Charcuterie boards are all the rage. Depending on how many people you are expecting. I also recommend a smaller appetizer such as a veggie platter. Here’s a little inspiration for you!
Main
Traditional Christmas dinners usually call for a turkey. I am still not ready to make one of those birds on my own. We plan to serve steaks Christmas Eve and I’m all about recreating a good steak house recipe. You can’t go wrong with eating tamales for the holidays. If you’re up for the challenge, give these vegetarian recipe a try.
Sides
Vegetables are so delicious and really make the best sides! Get in your greens while still splurging a little with this Broccoli Casserole Recipe. I am also a huge fan of Brussel Sprouts, I highly recommend adding this dish to your menu. Oh, and please don’t forget to add a salad. Choose between a Caesar, a traditional garden salad or this Christmas Salad with Citrus-Champagne Vinaigrette . Whatever you choose will be fantastic!
Desserts
I am a huge fan of holiday treats, I mean isn’t that something we all look forward to? Well, I feel that a sugar cookie is a staple for Christmas. Give this gluten-free sugar cookie recipe a try or go for a more traditional recipe by clicking here. If you are craving chocoloate
Drinks
Colorful drinks really add a fun splash of color to any setting. Give this Cranberry Margarita recipe a try! The good news is it only calls for four ingredients! Stir up a Shirley Temple for people of all ages.
I love a festive holiday celebration and it sure is worth it to put forth the extra details for others. Don’t let me fool you, I am not ready for Christmas. ! still need info to wrap presents, but I know that Aaron and I will get that task complete in the nick of time.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
