Food based traditions during the holiday’s is probably one of my favorite things. I love creating meals that are cohesive and SOOOO delicious! Every year we have this one salad(listed below) that is soooo good and I crave it year round. 

So if you are spending Christmas with your loved ones or looking for a meal for two. Here is an affordable full course meal for your Christmas Eve/Day dinner.

Appetizer:

Cranberry Cream Cheese Spread is the perfect appetizer for your Christmas meal. This snack will allow you to snack appropriately while still leaving room for dinner. Looking to spice things up. Another variation is to use pepper jelly on cream cheese.

Entrée:

Crockpot Butter Chicken is our #1 choice for an affordable meal that the whole family can enjoy. If you are on a strict budget, red meat might be less affordable, so this delicious butter chicken will provide you ample protein as your main entrée for the choices below.

Sides:

Oven-Baked Sweet Potatoes are my families favorite side dish for the holidays. These sweet potatoes are really easy to make and melt in your mouth. You might even find one serving isn’t enough.

Festive Tossed Salad is my FAVORITE recipe in the whole world! I crave this recipe constantly, especially around this time of year. If you are like me and like 50% of your feast to be greens. This is the salad for you.

Dessert:

Did someone say cute, festival and affordable dessert? These Christmas Tree Brownies are so fun to make and in comparison to Christmas cooks, will take a lot less work.

To Cheers:

Champagne Punch might look like a simple, average drink. But, HOLY GUACAMOLE, this is theeee most delicious champagne style cocktail I’ve ever had. You won’t regret adding this to your meal plan.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope that no matter where you find yourself in this next year, you know that you are loved, cherished and important.

Warm Wishes,

Cassidy
