Whether you are spending the holiday season with friends or family, good food often anchors our celebrations. AHRN.com has gathered some of our favorite holiday recipes to inspire your holiday table!
For friends near and far, home baked treats can be the perfect you to say that you appreciate someone.
For Kara, blogger at The Happy Milspouse, these deliciously adorable Snowball cookies are perfect to “always make a batch for our family (along with other homemade cookies) then also some to give as gifts in a festive tin.”
A few years ago, Army Wife Network pulled together their favorite cookie recipes for 12 Days of Holiday Cookies – complete with recipes and pictures of each one!
Sometimes, time is short and there is too much to do, so we need simple recipes to share. This 3 ingredient Peppermint Oreo Fudge is a gift that is – literally – easy to give!
Want to give something that stands out from the usual cookie/chocolate gifts? This Buttermilk Banana Bread makes a delicious Christmas morning snack – if they can wait that long!
Party Fare
The holidays are a wonderful time to get together – with friends, colleagues, the neighbors. Have no worries about coming empty-handed with these scrumptious options.
When you have only a few minutes to spare, this tangy and creamy cheese ball is just the thing. AND — it can be made ahead of time to eliminate last minute rushing (at least in the kitchen).
Give your holiday party a little extra spice by bringing this Jalapeno Popper Crescent Ring – creamy jalapeno popper dip combined with flaky crescent rolls in one convenient, make-ahead package.
Desserts and Drinks
Pecan pie is a classic holiday flavor but pie isn’t always the most convenient option for party where people are moving around and often eating while standing. Problem solved with these amazing little bites of Pecan Pie Baklava!
A festive drink is an excellent way to round out any gathering – an one this beautiful can serve as decor as well! Simple Holiday Sangria only takes a few minutes of chopping to make but the crisp, bright taste will serve as a counterpoint to the sweetness of your favorite holiday treats. You can also sub out another bottle of sparkling grape juice for the wine for a nonalcoholic version.
However you celebrate the holiday season, delicious food is a excellent reason to spend time with those we care about.
