MENU PLAN MONDAY

Crock Pot Maple Brown Sugar Ham is a must for Christmas dinner. It’s one of those recipes that has become a cherished family dinner tradition over the years. If you’re looking to start your own Christmas or Christmas Eve tradition, start with this dish. Pair it with my Garlic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes and Glazed Ranch Carrots for a holiday dinner everyone will remember.

Looking for a quick holiday drink recipe? Serve my refreshing Sparkling Cranberry Cider. It comes together in just under 5 minutes with just 3 simple ingredients. I love serving it for Christmas Eve, holiday parties, and at New Year’s Eve. It’s light, refreshing, and a nice change from all the hot drinks this time of year. Plus, it looks stunning in a pitcher or drink dispenser with fresh cranberries floating on top.

Celebrate the season with my Chocolate Candy Cane Cheesecake Cake. This Christmas dessert features layers of rich chocolate cake, creamy cheesecake, and festive peppermint. Topped with smooth cream cheese frosting and crushed candy canes, it’s the perfect holiday dessert to serve at Christmas dinner or any cozy winter celebration.
