What's for Christmas Dinner? by Sarah Rossi {book review}

How is it December already? 

It's the question we ask ourselves every year because time just seems to go faster and faster as we get older. Today is December First and although the majority of my Christmas shopping is done I am still feeling the pressure of the big day. 

My little family isn't traditional and even less traditional for me as I live abroad. So, it means we have had less than traditional Christmas meals over the years. This year I thought I'd try to go back to what is consider traditional Christmas food, but I didn't want the fuss or hassle. Hence my excuse to purchase yet another cookbook, specifically this one What's for Christmas Dinner by Sarah Rossi. 

Sarah's What's for Dinner? and What's For Dinner? In One Pot have been life savers the last couple years and I have made the majority of recipes from both books. So, I cannot wait to put this one to good use this Christmas. She give us some great guides in the beginning for timings and prep and menu suggestions. The book covers everything from the main meal on the big day to parties, breakfasts, baked goods, and homemade gifts; literally everything is covered. 

This book was clearly written by someone with years of experience prepping and executing Christmas dinners and food for the whole season! 

So, I used the recipe for Braised Red Cabbage for my Thanksgiving dinner and it was great - it added cranberry sauce and I had never tried that before it was good. I look forward to trying more recipes from this book this month and I am sure some will become favorites that we use very year.
