Favorite Christmas Recipes

This year I made all new desserts and side dishes for our Christmas dinner.  We had the traditional ham, but that was it.  Nothing else was our “norm”.  There were a few dishes that I probably won’t be making again, but there were a few that I really liked that I thought I’d share.  I got both of these from Paula Deen.

*Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies* – these were awesome little cookies that were easy to make, plus they stayed soft for a least two days.  They may have lasted even longer, but I have none left to test that theory. : )

*Spinach Stuffed Zucchini* – Jason helped with these a bit. He scooped out the zucchini pulp while I mixed the other ingredients together.  We used zucchini, but I bet it would be good with yellow squash, too.  They even reheated two days later and were just as yummy.

If you have a favorite recipe (peanut-free please), please feel free to share.  I’m always on the lookout for something new.  It feels like we eat the same old things all time.  I’m getting a little tired of spaghetti and backed chicken.

Happy Cooking!
