Free eCookbook from Mr. Food – Christmas Celebrations

You’ve barely put down your Thanksgiving fork but yes, the holiday season is upon us! In no time at all, you’ll be walkin’ in a winter wonderland with Frosty the Snowman and rockin’ around the Christmas tree with chestnuts roasting on an open fire. After all, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! And as the holiday season kicks into high gear, there’s plenty of festive events to help us countdown to Christmas: parties to attend, trees to trim, Secret Santa exchanges with friends, caroling parties with neighbors, and more yuletide celebrations.

Our brand-new Christmas Celebrations eCookbook is full of easy recipes for every Christmas celebration you can imagine, whether you’re preparing a big holiday meal, making a bring-along dish, hosting a holiday party, or anything in between! For a tasty and hassle-free holiday, our latest eCookbook features 5 holiday-special menus with 34 “anyone can do it” holiday recipes. No matter the celebration, you’ll be ready with crowd-pleasing appetizers, cocktails, main dishes, sides and desserts.

Our eCookbook sponsor, Youngstown Fresh Pomegranate Arils, shares their passion for pomegranate this holiday season; you may have seen this red, apple-like fruit in your local grocery store around this time of year. Pomegranate arils are the delicious edible seeds inside, and they’re jam-packed with antioxidants. Wait’ll you see the amazing recipes the Mr. Food Test Kitchen developed that feature these ruby red gems! Pomegranate arils are just the thing to give your Christmas menu that seasonal color.

It seems there’s hardly a free weekend in the month of December! You’ll probably be hosting or attending a handful of parties this season, and the Mr. Food Test Kitchen has plenty of easy holiday appetizers for any size get-together. Planning a holiday open house? Savor the flavors of the season with our sampling of Christmas party food ideas – from Cocktail Bundles to Sticky Red Wings. We’ve even put together this jolly Tree Trimmin’ Menu features Christmas drink recipes like the Santa Spritzer and warm-you-up hearty dishes like Deck the Halls Chili.

The Mr. Food Test Kitchen has taken all the guesswork out of serving amazing Christmas food with our classic menus for Christmas Eve Menu and Traditional Christmas Dinner Menu. Easy-yet-elegant Pepper-Crusted Prime Rib rivals anything you can find at the fanciest restaurant, especially when paired with muffin-style Yorkshire Pudding. With no-fuss main dishes like Sherry-Glazed Ham and super-simple shortcuts like serving two sides in one a la Mashed Potato Suffing, our low-maintenance dinner lets you enjoy the Christmas celebration without all the stress. Be sure to leave room for one of our holiday desserts, like Creamy Cheesecake with Pomegranate Topping and Pistachio Poinsettia Cake.

On Christmas morning, after the stockings have been emptied and the presents ripped open, thoughts usually turn to breakfast!

Easy breakfast recipes like Holiday Sausage Rollups, Christmas Morning Strata, and Holiday Hot Chocolate on the menu have holiday-festive taste with very little fuss, so you can enjoy unwrapping your gifts instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
