1. Apple cider
Apple cider recipes
Warm up your holiday get-togethers with a mug of apple cider. Consider these delicious apple cider variations or use them as inspiration to come up with a few of your own.
2. Egg nog
Homemade holiday egg nog recipes
What is Christmas without a holiday nog? If you are the type of holiday purist who refuses to buy nog in a carton, you’ll love stirring up one of these rich and creamy egg nog recipes (there is even a Skinny Nog for the diet-conscious!).
3. Leg of lamb
Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Mint Pesto
An elegant holiday entrée, a juicy slice of boneless lamb spiraled with a homemade mint pesto will make for a memorable mouthwatering affair.
4. Roasted Turkey
A new way to roast turkey
If the turkey bones are getting in the way of you carving perfect slices for the Christmas feast, try roasting a boneless turkey. Not only is deboning easy, your boneless turkey cooks faster – a bonus when you need the oven to finish up the sides or pies.
5. Turkey Stuffing
Cornbread Turkey Stuffing
A simple cornbread stuffing can often be the most loved side on the Christmas table. Moist, fluffy and flavorful, this recipe is a comfort food all by itself.
6. Candied sweet potatoes
Candied sweet potatoes
If you like upping the sweetness of your sweet potatoes, give these candied sweet potatoes a place on your Christmas table. (If those aren’t sweet enough, give the Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie a try!)
7. Cranberry sauce
Homemade cranberry sauce recipes
Though cranberry sauce in a can is a convenient grab, its flavor pales in comparison to a homemade simmered sauce with ruby red berries and your choice of signature ingredients.
8. Pumpkin Pecan Pie
