How Sweet It Is, Feasting At Home, Foodie Crush, Minimalist Baker
Christmas is right around the corner and that means it's time to start planning the big dinner. We all tend to put a lot of time thinking about sweets around the holidays, but the actual meal we share to celebrate Christmas is just as important.
The feast for Christmas is not as labor intensive as Thanksgiving -- thank goodness -- but with the right recipes it can be just as memorable. And the best part is, anything goes. While prime rib is a natural choice for the main course, it's not the only one. We've got duck, turkey and scallop recipes to consider. Plus, delicious apps and savory sides to complete the meal too. And once you get that all planned out, don't forget to think about dessert.
