Holiday Food

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

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

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

Christmas day treats wouldn’t be complete without a tray of Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies, Oatmeal Butterscotch Delights, 5 Ingredient Chocolate & Peanut Butter Bars, Monster Cookies and No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies.

Holiday desserts include our Pumpkin Pie Cake, Cheesecake Cookie Bars, Heath Bar Cake or Milky Way Cake.

Sometimes when we meet with extended family our Big Batch of Cheesy Potatoes is great to have on hand!

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