Get ready for the (holiday) main event!


Hi friends,

'Tis the day we share some of our favourite holiday main dishes with you! Scroll down for a collection of recipes to inspire you, two condiments you cannot skip, AND two of my most important holiday cooking tips!

This Vegetarian Mushroom Pot Pie is the perfect vegetarian main dish (with vegan option) featuring fresh mushrooms in a creamy gravy with garlic and thyme, topped with a tender pastry crust.

And finally, if you can't imagine a holiday without a whole turkey, here's your recipe - Easy Juicy Roast Turkey. If you are new to cooking a turkey, don't stress. I walk you through step by step.

Looking for two of my most important cooking tips?

An instant read thermometer is a must! (We love this one.) Don't have one? Buy yourself an early holiday gift. Trust me. It will take the guess work out of your cooking/roasting and is one key to moist and juicy meat and poultry. The other key? Let. It. Rest.

You've got this!

Cheers,

Chrissie Baker
