Are you in the need of some foolproof Christmas dinner recipes? I haven’t decided if my husband and I will go out for dinner or if we will cook a nice dinner at home. We went out for Thanksgiving, and it was fun. For the past few years, we’ve been doing the entertaining. It’s a nice break to have someone else worry about the food preparation.

With that said, I love searching for winning recipes. So, I decided to hop on the ‘net and find some great options in case I do decide to cook. Here’s a roundup of my favorite finds:

From Epicurious.com - This is one of my favorite cooking websites. This includes recipes from Gourmet.com, Bonapetit.com, Cookinglight.com, and Self.com. They have a page on their site completely devoted to Christmas.

Greek Butter Cookie - Kourabiedes - This is my all time favorite Christmas cookie. This is an improvement on my family recipe. The link takes you to a recipe posted on my Greek cooking blog.

Healthier Recipes at Cooking Light - Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean it’s okay to overeat. The wonderful recipes on this site are figure friendly without sacrificing taste.

When I sit down to make Christmas dinner, there are a few essentials that need to be there such as roast turkey and apple pie. In fact, the dinner mirrors Thanksgiving in a lot of ways. I also like to serve ham - especially if I am entertaining a sizeable crowd.

But lately I’ve been wanting to do something interested, such as roast a goose. Maybe because I’ve mastered the turkey thing, and my first goose was a bit of a disaster that makes me want to try again. So if I do decide to cook dinner, I will likely shy away from the typical menu items and do something different.
