Holiday Food

Gathering with family and friends almost always calls for a special meal.Ā Ā 

Our Thanksgiving table always features my Grandma’s Dressing Recipe, Scalloped Corn Casserole, Jiffy Corn Pudding, Sweet Potato Souffle and these Farmhouse Mashed Potatoes.

When traveling we like to take Make Ahead Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes and Cornbread Dressing.

A special Christmas brunch features a Fruit Tray and our Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole or Brioche French Toast Casserole and our Christmas Chex Mix.

The holidays wouldn't be complete without a couple great candy recipes like our Crock Pot Peanut Clusters and Classic Peanut Butter Balls.

Holiday desserts include our Pumpkin Carrot Cake, Lime Jello Salad with Cottage Cheese,Ā Heath Bar Cake or Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bars.

Sometimes when we meet with extended family our Big Batch of Cheesy Potatoes or Crock Pot Mac & Cheese which is popular with kids is great to have on hand!

Summer holidays and picnics often feature our Linguine Salad or Cucumber Salad with Mayo & Sour Cream.

Just remember special meals don’t have to be difficult meals.Ā  I hope you find a new favorite easy recipe from our collection that will bring joy to your family!
