2. EGG NOG

Homemade holiday egg nog recipes
What is Christmas without a holiday nog? If you are the type of holiday purist who refuses to buy nog in a carton, you'll love stirring up one of these rich and creamy egg nog recipes (there is even a Skinny Nog for the diet-conscious!).

3. LEG OF LAMB

Stuffed Leg of Lamb with Mint Pesto
An elegant holiday entrée, a juicy slice of boneless lamb spiraled with a homemade mint pesto will make for a memorable mouthwatering affair.

4. ROASTED TURKEY

A new way to roast turkey
If the turkey bones are getting in the way of you carving perfect slices for the Christmas feast, try roasting a boneless turkey. Not only is deboning easy, your boneless turkey cooks faster – a bonus when you need the oven to finish up the sides or pies.

5. TURKEY STUFFING

Cornbread Turkey Stuffing
A simple cornbread stuffing can often be the most loved side on the Christmas table. Moist, fluffy and flavorful, this recipe is a comfort food all by itself.

6. CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Candied sweet potatoes
If you like upping the sweetness of your sweet potatoes, give these candied sweet potatoes a place on your Christmas table. (If those aren't sweet enough, give the Bourbon Sweet Potato Pie a try!)

7. CRANBERRY SAUCE

Homemade cranberry sauce recipes
Though cranberry sauce in a can is a convenient grab, its flavor pales in comparison to a homemade simmered sauce with ruby red berries and your choice of signature ingredients.

8. PUMPKIN PECAN PIE

Pumpkin Pecan Pie with Cognac Whipped Cream
Love pumpkin but can't pass up that rich, nutty slice of pecan pie? Give yourself a double treat – make a pumpkin pecan pie and top it off with a cognac-spiked whipped cream.
