Recipe Ideas for your Christmas Brunch or Christmas Dinner

Who of us doesn't want to cook like our favorite celebrity chefs? I know that I do. I always want to try new recipes and incorporate new flavors into old dishes. However, the most important lesson that I have learned over the years is your guests won't remember every single dish you cook so it's best to let two or three dishes shine.

Check out our Green Bean Recipes to find the perfect Christmas side dish

If you've made a fabulous Madeira gravy from our recipe, stick with simple buttered mashed potatoes. If you're having candied sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts with prosciutto and parmesan serve your fresh green beans simply blanched. There is nothing wrong with incorporating new recipes and flavors into your old Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner menus, but don't go overboard. Everything you cook doesn't need something added to it.

Some families get together for a Christmas Brunch, some get together for Christmas Dinner.

Our family does both!

Christmas Brunch Menu:

We enjoy our Christmas Brunch. We like the idea of not having to rush in the morning. By brunch time everyone has had a chance to relax and open some gifts at their homes. We meet at my mother-in-laws home and everyone brings a dish. We've got some flavorful and easy to make and transport recipe ideas for you, including an Egg & Sausage Scramble Casserole and Grand Marnier French Toast. One of our recent favorites is a Classic Crumb Cake recipe given to us by our friend Alice Smith. Another recent addition to our Christmas brunch is a dish with Mediterranean roots, a Sweet Moroccan Couscous. It's easy to make with instant couscous, golden raisins, almonds and cinnamon and made even more flavorful with a drizzle of yogurt honey sauce. We start our brunch around 10A and it goes on until we're all filled-up.

Christmas Dinner Menu:

Our family meets at my sister-in-laws for Christmas dinner. Since we've just had turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner and the majority in our family like lamb we generally have lamb as our main meat course for Christmas dinner. We enjoy our Creme de Menthe Leg of Lamb. Some years we make an Apricot and Bourbon Pork Tenderloin. We also always cook a pineapple glazed ham for Christmas dinner.

What about those special Christmas cookies & desserts? We've got plenty of them too including a fabulous Red Velvet Cake Recipe.
