Impress your Guests this Holiday with these Delicious Recipes

I may be a little late to the party, but here are some recipes I’ve been excited to try this holiday season! I’m hosting Christmas dinner at my mom’s this year and wanted to prepare some dishes that will impress my guests—but still be simple enough to put together, and of course, taste amazing!

Some of the recipes I share are from the LCBO food and drink magazine (which I’m obsessed with and will get every season), Nadia Bakes Cookbook, and one original dessert recipe with some baking mix help 🙂

In this video, I’ll share:

– Lemon Turmeric Accordion Potatoes
– French Onion Blue Cheese Tart
– Tea-Riffic Sangria
– Reindeer Brownies (a special holiday dessert!)

All the recipes, along with my notes and adjustments, are listed below.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below. Thank you so much for watching, happy holidays!
