Festive Christmas Recipe Ideas You Need to Try

Well, if you’ve been following me for awhile, you might already know.

The kitchen is not my favorite place to be.

In fact, I’d just assume be responsible for decorating the tables and let all the talented ladies in my family take care of the food! ????

And that is usually exactly what happens.  (My husband says I’m a good cook, so I guess that counts for something, but it’s not my favorite thing to do!)

Today, you get the treat of enjoying some of our family’s favorites from my mom’s recipes.  Every Christmas, we always request the same things and she does them perfectly every time!

I am also sharing some Christmas recipes from some of my blogging friends!  Each recipe looks so delicious and may just make me get in the kitchen and try a few this season!

You can find my family’s Christmas dinner recipe list here:

• The best beef tenderloin EVER
• Bacon wrapped green bean bundles (because everything is better with bacon!)
• Chestnuts-n-Bacon
