Christmas is a wonderful time of year that’s full of family, friends, and food! Food has always been a good excuse to gather people together, and cooking and sharing delicious festive meals is one of my favorite things to do. But, sometimes, it can be hard to know what to make.
Also, many Christmas recipes are very complicated, time-consuming, and hard to follow. I understand that your Christmas meals should be tasty and exciting, but I don’t want to have to spend all day in the kitchen on Christmas day, and I’m sure you don’t either.
With all that in mind, I’ve spent the last few months seeking out simple but delicious Christmas recipes to share with you. I’ve tried each one, much to delight to my friends and family, who have been able to enjoy them weeks before Christmas even arrived.
I’ve purposely sought out recipes that are easy to delicious, easy to make, but don’t contain too many ingredients. That way, you’ll be free to spend time with your guests, rather than being locked in the kitchen, chained to the stove for the day!
I wish you all a happy Christmas and hope you enjoy these festive recipes.
