It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Despite our holiday celebrations looking different this December than in years past, there are still holiday traditions to observe, gifts to give and receive, sweet memories to make with your family, and of course, scrumptious holiday treats and meals to make and enjoy. We might be biased, but all of the delicious holiday food might be our favorite part of the season. Coming together in the kitchen with family to bake traditional favorites or gathering around the table to share a special meal together is what the season is all about for us.
Pro Tip: invite your children and your family into the kitchen with you to cook this holiday season! Not only will you foster a love of cooking homemade meals with family, you’ll also find new traditions to celebrate in a year where many of your family’s beloved favorites might be cancelled or held virtually. Make it a special cooking date and Zoom with grandparents, aunts and uncles, or close family friends and prepare the same recipe together. It won’t be the same as being able to cook together in person, but it’ll help you connect with those you love the most throughout the holiday season.
Here are a few recipe ideas to get you started in the kitchen!
Holiday Party
Headed out to a socially-distanced holiday party this year? Don’t go empty handed! Give our Spicy Collard Dip a try this year. You can even make it super safe for everyone by serving the dip in mini individual cups with a side of sliced vegetables for dipping so that everyone has their own dip and they do not need to worry about sharing with others.
Cookies for Santa
Surprise Santa with a healthy, nutritional cookie when he stops by your family’s house on Christmas Eve. Our Chocolate Cherry Kale Cookies are so easy to make and so delicious that you’ll want to make an extra batch (or two!) for your family to enjoy throughout the season.
Christmas Morning
Christmas morning—especially with little ones running around—can be extremely hectic. Make your Christmas morning easier by preparing breakfast ahead of time and popping it in the oven when you head downstairs to see what Santa left and to open presents. Spend some time on Christmas even making our Superfood Lemon Blueberry Scones and serve them on Christmas morning with your favorite nut butter or jelly!
