Christmas is all about celebrating the season with family and loved ones. This is often done around a tree, with gifts — and, of course, with FOOD! One of our favorite options for the main course is our prime rib with horseradish cream, or if you are looking for something that’s a little simpler, this brown sugar and bourbon slow cooker spiral ham is a great option!
Delicious side dishes we love include cheesy holiday potatoes and a refreshing cauliflower salad with lemon tahini dressing that is guaranteed to become a new holiday favorite.
Don’t forget about the night before, though! Our Christmas Eve salad is the perfect light meal before the big day — or a great option before you start digging into all those Christmas cookies.

Looking for a cute gift idea you can take with you on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to say ‘thank you’ to your host? Or maybe you are looking for a homemade gift idea you can give to your family or friends. No matter what you seek, you have come to the right place!
Which are our favorites? The sea salt caramels would have to be the number one! Who doesn’t love caramel — and it’s always a great gift during the holidays.
Looking for something cute but easy to make? Check out the hot cocoa shots. Kids (and adults) of all ages drink hot chocolate, and when it’s packaged so sweetly, it can be perfectly giftworthy.
When it comes to the award for adorablity, there’s nothing like these reindeer candy jars!

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons. It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
