Check out these Christmas dinner menus:
Traditional Christmas Dinner Menu
If Christmas dinner means coming home to the food you remember as a kid, this menu is for you.- Roast Turkey -- This is my traditional Thanksgiving turkey recipe. An herb butter rubbed under the skin of the turkey keeps it moist.
- Green Bean Casserole -- Easy and delicious, this green bean casserole is a classic.
- Scalloped Potatoes -- Creamy, cheesy and oh so good, the hardest part about this recipe is waiting for the potatoes to bake!
- Cranberry Jello Salad -- Anything made with cranberries is festive on the holidays. This Jello salad looks great on a Christmas dinner table, and it's always popular.
- Corn Pudding -- This recipe takes only minutes to prepare, and it's guaranteed to make both the kids and adults happy.
- Red Velvet Cake -- Festive, moist and tender, this red velvet cake is the perfect ending to Christmas dinner.
Creative Christmas Dinner Menu
With this Christmas dinner menu, it's all about making foods the family likes. They don't have to be traditional. They just have to taste great.- Shrimp Pasta Recipe with Lemon Butter Sauce -- Jumbo shrimp are tossed with garlic, olive oil, butter and linguine in this tasty main dish recipe that is special enough to serve for Christmas dinner.
- Garlic Bread -- Nothing goes better with pasta than garlic bread. And this version of garlic bread is my absolute favorite. Once you taste it, you'll know why.
- Christmas Salad -- Panettone croutons make this Christmas salad sweet and delicious. Your guests will beg you for the recipe.
- Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Hazelnuts -- Brussels sprouts are shredded, then tossed with bacon, maple syrup and hazelnuts in this recipe even the kids will like. Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano tops off this tasty side dish.
- Tres Leches Cake -- If you've never had tres leches cake before, you won't believe how moist and tasty this cake is. If you have had it before, you won't believe how easy this tres leches cake recipe is.
- Crockpot Turkey Breast Recipe -- A turkey breast is easier to cook than a whole turkey, and since this recipe is done in the slow cooker, you can set it and forget it.
- Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes -- Fluffy, creamy and oh so good, these mashed potatoes are perfect for Christmas dinner, because you can make them a day or two in advance.
- Broccoli Salad Recipe -- Crunchy, creamy, salty and sweet, this broccoli salad recipe is a flavor sensation. And it looks great on a buffet table, too. Make this broccoli salad a day in advance.
- Cranberry Relish -- If you can operate a food processor, you can make this cranberry relish. It pairs beautifully with turkey, and you can even make it two to three days in advance.
- Watergate Salad Recipe -- Sweet and creamy, this recipe harkens back to the 1970s. Serve it as a sweet side dish or a light dessert.
- Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe -- This pumpkin pie starts with a frozen pie crust. The hardest part about this recipe is knowing when to take the pie out of the oven (when it's still a big jiggly in the center). Be sure to leave time to let the pie cool before serving.
