Winter Comfort Foods

The holidays have a way of turning a relaxed kitchen into a big source of stress- every dish needs to be special and perfect. This collection pushes back on that. Every recipe here is impressive and is the kind that gets compliments, requested year after year and becomes part of family traditions.

But you don't need a culinary degree to make any of them. And none take all day to prep or are made with so much effort that you can't even enjoy the day. I bake these appetizer mini potatoes in 20 minutes with no prep and cook hot chocolate in the crockpot so it can cook itself and be easily served right from the slow cooker. No extra dishes or cleanup required!
