You clicked over to this blog post to look for Christmas dinner recipe ideas. \u00a0Right? \u00a0Well, I have to be brutally honest.<\/p>\n

When people ask me for ideas about recipes, I text my mom. \u00a0Then, if I need a baking idea, well, I ask my almost-15-year-old daughter.\u00a0 It\u2019s true.\u00a0 Setting the table was my childhood chore and many, MANY years later, it\u2019s still what my family expects me to do!\u00a0 (The great thing is that I love setting a pretty table, so we are all happy!)<\/p>\n

I also have to be honest that I grew up in the beautiful midwest, in the middle of fields and real farmhouses, and our family favorites very much reflect where we were born and raised.\u00a0 (Long story short, almost all of our favorites require bacon!)\u00a0 All in all, we are very traditional when it comes to our Christmas dinner recipe ideas and we love it that way! \u00a0In fact, it’s entirely possible that there would be an uprising from some members (including my husband) if our Christmas dinner menu were changed up.<\/p>\n

Do you have any special menu items like that? \u00a0Or family members who would have a similar reaction? \u00a0You will have to let me know in the comments!<\/p>\n

Today, you are in a for a real treat. \u00a0My mom was gracious to share our special Christmas dinner recipes with all of you. \u00a0I 100% guarantee that you’re going to love these delicious, mouth-watering dishes. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because we look forward to this meal all year long!<\/p>\n

As I said, I have to text my mom for the recipes though. \u00a0Give her a big thanks in the comments and let me know which dish you plan to try first! \u00a0Hint: they actually all pair perfectly together so I recommend making all three!<\/p>\n

Here are my three must-have dishes for our Traditional Christmas Dinner:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Best Beef Tenderloin\u00a0Christmas Dinner Recipe Ideas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What should be the menu for Christmas dinner?<\/em><\/h3>\n

“And he, he himself…the Grinch…carved the roast-beast!” \u00a0\u2015 Dr. Seuss, <\/span>How the Grinch Stole Christmas!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This recipe is so good that it literally could be the real, the one, the only beef recipe for all of Whoville! \u00a0At least, it’s the only Christmas dinner recipe idea for the main course that our family wants now! \u00a0I will be so bold as to say that I know you’d love it on your Christmas menu too!<\/p>\n

As I said, I grew up in the Midwest and we always had a lot of beef. \u00a0However, the way my mom makes this beef tenderloin recipe truly makes it the most tender and flavorful way I’ve ever had beef. \u00a0She will be the first to say that it is a recipe that takes some effort but we are all thankful that she does! \u00a0For our family, it is a favorite, from youngest to oldest!<\/p>\n

Even if you have a main course dish that is already the tradition for your family, make sure to pin this recipe and save it for later. \u00a0I promise you it will become a new favorite for you too!<\/p>\n
