In a year like no other, you may be looking for different ideas for Christmas dinner.
Well, I’ve got you covered with dinner recipe ideas to suit lots of tastes!
From a traditional turkey to other holiday dinner recipes, make this year special no matter what.I love turkey dinner at Christmas but with gatherings of less people I want to show you how to make other menus.
I firmly believe you can make any type of food special by setting the scene. Think: candles and greenery; a nice tablecloth; using the ‘good plates’ and a lovely playlist.
So with that in mind, here are 8 menus using recipes right from the blog & my e-Cookbook that you can make for your Christmas dinner and even New Year’s Eve!

Connecting over food around the table is one of the things I miss THE MOST this year. So, you could even make the same dinner menu as your family and friends from this list and then enjoy together virtually!

Until the next cooking adventure,
