Some how, some way Christmas week is here! My college boys get home on Thursday and my daughter will arrive home from Spain on Friday and all I want to do is fill my house with all of their favorite foods and friends so they’ll never want to leave again! So I have a big week of cooking in front of me and thought I’d share everything I’m planning to make for the holiday weekend. And then so I don’t leave you hanging wondering what to make for dinner the rest of the week, I’ll share my recipe on Instagram stories each morning. Sound like a plan? Let’s do this.
Christmas Eve Appetizers
We are doing Christmas Eve at my brother’s house this year and they have lasagna on the menu. I only need to bring appetizers. Here’s what I’m bringing:
Pigs in a Blanket, but make it look like Christmas
Grace’s Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board
Christmas Morning Brunch
We usually have breakfast right after the kids open their presents—thankfully these days it’s more like 10:30 a.m. than 5:30 a.m. What I like about these recipes is that I can make them ahead and just stick them in the oven when I wake up so they are ready to go when we are.
Christmas Dinner
Beef Tenderloin (game-time decision for my husband_
Christmas Desserts
Chocolate Peppermint Cheesecake
I hope having these recipes a little early in the week help you enjoy what’s most important about Christmas—spending time with your family! Have the best holiday!
