Recipes for Christmas – Breakfast, Brunch, Dinner, Sweets and Gifts to Share

by 3 Comments

If you’re still looking for recipes to make this season, this post is for you.  I’ve gathered Holiday recipes from the blog that my family loves and that have been popular for years here on the blog. You know me, so none of these recipes are super complicated to make. I love cooking but I don’t want to spend all my time over the holidays in the kitchen, and so I like to keep it relatively simple. christmasround-up

There are ideas for creating a delightful Christmas breakfast, easy ideas for Dinner menus, perfect side dishes, and lots of yummy sweet treats to make and to share. There’s even some no-bake treats that I love whipping up as gifts for my neighbors and friends over the holidays!

Oatmeal White Chocolate Chip and Cranberry Cookies

Last year, I saw recipes for cookies like this floating around the internet.  A friend brought some to my house and they were so good.  How can you go wrong with white chocolate chips and cranberries?

I decided to make them yesterday, but didn’t want to look up the recipe.  Googling is so hard, you know?

So I tweaked the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip recipe from the back of the Walmart brand oat box.  As soon as I finished making them, I noticed the recipe on the back of the Craisin package.  Oh well.  My tweaked recipe tasted buttery, with the sweet-tart flavors of the white chips and cranberries.  And the recipe made a lot.  Enough to munch and freeze some for later.

Low Carb Cranberry Sauce

This is a guest post from Dawn Farias.  She is going to be sharing her favorite low carb dishes with us in a new monthly series.

Cranberry sauce is a staple around the holidays and is a snap to convert to a more low-carb version.  You simply find a recipe you like and substitute your artificial sweetener of choice.  The trick is not adding too much because doing so can make your final product fairly bitter.  But in the final analysis, I suppose it’s all a matter of ‘taste’.  (Yes, I went there!)


At any rate, here’s what you’ll need: [Read more…] about Low Carb Cranberry Sauce
