Holiday Helpers: 30 Easy Holiday Recipes for Thanksgiving & Christmas
 |
We all know that the holidays are a busy time of the year. Between coordinating plans with family, getting your holiday shopping done, and planning a holiday feast, it can feel a bit overwhelming at times. Luckily, the Mr. Food Test Kitchen, in partnership with the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association, Inc., has come up with some tasty ideas that’ll make your holiday meal planning a whole lot easier! Our latest eCookbook, Holiday Helpers: 30 Easy Holiday Recipes for Thanksgiving & Christmas is packed with easy recipes that use convenient ingredients from the frozen food and dairy aisles that’ll save you time and money, as well as make your holiday more enjoyable and full of, “OOH IT’S SO GOOD!!®”
Holiday Drink Recipes
Do you like to start the festivities with a spirited toast? If so, then you’re going to love our holiday drink recipes, including recipes with and without alcohol. Our recipe for Celebration Punch (page 1) is great for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, and can be made with a little bubbly or with ginger ale, depending on who you’re serving it to. And since it’s made with frozen fruit concentrates, you can bet that it’s super simple to make! If you like something a little creamier and spiced during the holidays, our No-Egg Eggnog (page 3) is fantastic! It may just become one of your favorite drink recipes for Christmas.
Holiday Appetizers
Turn on some holiday music and encourage your guests to mingle before dinner by setting out some perfectly yummy holiday appetizers. The holiday appetizer recipes in this eCookbook are so easy, you’ll probably choose to set out quite a few of ‘em! Our Warm Honey and Fruit Spread (page 5) is a can’t-miss wonder made with cream cheese and your favorite dried fruit. And our Sausage Roll-Ups (page 7) is one of our favorite Christmas menu ideas, because guests just love the simple combination of refrigerated crescent rolls, sausage, and melty cheese. You can even set these out with a variety of sauces for dipping! If you want to serve a soup before the main course, then our Butternut Squash Soup (page 10) is a real pleaser, and one of our favorite recipes for Thanksgiving!
Holiday Side Dishes
Whether you’re making a Thanksgiving turkey or a Christmas ham, you’re going to need some spectacular side dishes to serve alongside it. Good thing we’ve got you covered! In this eCookbook, you’ll find easy holiday recipes for some yummy vegetable side dishes, like Autumn Creamed Spinach (page 11) and Cheddar Carrot Pudding (page 12). These recipes make use of the convenience of frozen veggies, which are just as fresh and delicious, but more economical and time-saving (less prep work!). We’ve also made sure to include some easy holiday recipes for classic dishes, like mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet potato bake, and more. And if you thought there was no easy way to make a spectacular stuffing, then we know you’ll be surprised by our recipe for Shortcut Sausage Stuffing (page 20). It’s like nothing you’ve ever tasted before and it’s cooked and ready in under an hour! Who needs an out-of-the-box mix when making a homemade one is so simple?
Holiday Dessert Recipes
If you’re anything like us, then you believe that the holidays just aren’t the holidays unless there’s dessert, which is just the reason why we’ve made sure to include dessert recipes for Christmas and Thanksgiving in this eCookbook. From luscious pies to decadent ice cream cakes, we’ve included something for everyone. If pumpkin pie is one of those must-have recipes for Thanksgiving, then you’re going to love what we did with it in our recipe for Pumpkin Parfaits (page 26). If your Christmas traditions demand that you have something peppermint-flavored at the dessert table, then our Peppermint Mocha Dessert Shooters (page 25) is one of those easy recipes for Christmas desserts that everyone is going to rave about!

I can't get the e-book to down load. I tried both Chrome and Firefox and the page stays blank. Is there a list of the recipes so I can just find them on the site?
