• Prime rib – This meat can be very expensive, but you can find it for a good price if you buy in bulk and look for it under its alias, “roast beef.” Pro-tip, serve it with horseradish. • Cranberry apple pork chops – Pork is even more affordable than roast beef, and health-conscious diners will probably appreciate pork chops more. Don’t forget the gravy! • Stuffing – I think stuffing has a higher ratio of people who absolutely love it than any other food I know of. Even if you’re not making a turkey to stuff, making stuffing is a must. • Christmas salad – Most Christmas foods are very heavy, but a salad that includes bleu cheese, candied nuts, and pomegranate seeds in addition to vegetables is a good way to lighten things up. • Brussel sprout bake – Most recipes involve baking brussel sprouts with cheese, cream, and bread crumbs. It’s creamy, it warms the stomach, and it’s not actually that bad for you. • Roasted butternut squash with cheese – Vegetables and cheese are just a very good combination. • Christmas cornbread – This is another heart-warming food that nearly everyone loves. • Candied sweet potato casserole – Don’t hold back with the melted sugar mixed into the sweet potatoes. • Potato leek soup • Pies – Apple, pumpkin, and pecan are the most popular flavors.
