The holidays are upon us! Brewing spiced tea, wrapping gifts, and spending time with loved ones are only some of my favorite activities this time of year. Of course, cooking and enjoying comforting, special foods is also at the top of my list! There are so many delicious seasonal produce items and scrumptious recipes that I can’t seem to get enough on my holiday table. That’s why I asked some of my dietitian blogger friends to share their all-time favorite holiday recipes to help inspire your holiday menu planning this month. I love all of these recipes, and I just can’t wait to try them out this season!
