roundup

Check out these recipes for some holiday meal inspiration. Feel free to leave links in the comments of your favorite holiday recipes this year!  

And we begin with…

Appetizers

PicMonkey Collage app 1

Bacon Spinach Blossoms Appetizer via Kennary. Droolworthy. I could probably eat five.

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus with Gruyere via Avocado Pesto. Can everything be wrapped in bacon?

Fool Proof Spanakopita Tarts via The Housewife in Training. I love seeing these at parties!

Mushroom & Gruyère Appetizer Puffs via Bourbon and Honey. Two perfect sounding foods wrapped up into something also perfect.

Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms via Oh My Dish. Perfect for those veggie friends!

Spinach Artichoke Dip. A personal recipe– served this at dinner with my family and we demolished it!

Pear and Brie Crostini via Sweet and Savory Pursuits. These sound so sweet and savory.

Artichoke-Stuffed Potatoes via Jennifer’s Kitchen. These are so cute and tasty looking!

 

Soups

Simple Butternut Squash Soup. Another one of my recipes– simple and full of flavor.

Creamy Broccoli Soup via Binjal’s VEG Kitchen. Could this be any more Christmas green?

 Classic French Onion Soup via Naked Cuisine. Looks so savory and warm.

 Low Fat Mushroom Bisque via New Hippie Kitchen. Looks light yet filling!

 

Entrees

PicMonkey Collage entree 1

Maple Dijon Roasted Chicken via Neighborfood. How perfect does this chicken look?

Crab & Kale Lasagna Rolls with Creamy Herb Pumpkin Sauce. My parents absolutely loved this dish. The fresh crab meat pairs wonderfully with the savory pumpkin sauce.

Parmesan Garlic Salmon via Planes to Plates. Crusty cheesy salmon? Yes please.

Quinoa & Portabello Mushroom Stack via Home Sweet Jones. This looks amazing for those veggie friends as well.

 

Sides

PicMonkey Collage sides 1

Sweet Potato Gnocchi via Feasting on Fruit. Thinking about making these little guys for our holiday dinner this weekend.

Creamy Butternut Rosemary Risotto via GI 365. Creamy. Cheesy. Butternut squash-y.

Sautéed Pineapple with Spices via The Steaming Pot. Sauteeing pineapple? GENIUS!

Golden Buttermilk Cornbread via Super Nummy Yo. Nothing better than a warm piece of cornbread.

PicMonkey Collage sides 2

Whole Roasted Cauliflower via The Veg Life. This picture is awesome.

Sweet and Sour Brussels Sprouts via Cooking LSL. Best way to eat ’em!

Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Mash via The Fit Fork. Lighten up those carbs with cauliflower.

Easy Sparkling Cranberries via Petite Allergy Treats. These look like magical little treats.

Apple Pie-No Refined Flour or Sugar via Italicana Kitchen. Perfect looking pie.

Gingerbread Chocolate Truffles via Delish Knowledge. Little bits of heaven, most likely.
