From special Christmas morning breakfasts to holiday dinner menus, Taste of Home Christmas 2018 features plenty of delicious recipes that will have you salivating. I found so many appealing recipes for a variety of foods that I could easily have a buffet now. Why wait for the holidays when there’s so much good food to be had?! Sprinkled throughout are Holiday Helper tips and tricks, season inspired crafts, and a few holiday specific and visually impressive foods such as the Santa Deviled Eggs, Christmas Star Twisted Bread, Elf Cupcakes, or Reindeer Rolls. Wrapping it all up is a chapter on gifts from the kitchen, a bonus chapter with Thanksgiving recipes, and a recipe index.

Just to whet your appetite, I’ll list a few of the dishes that caught my eye: Butternut-Gouda Pot Stickers, Chocolate Crepes with Raspberry Sauce, Pear-Stuffed French Toast with Brie, Cranberries, & Pecans, Risotto with Chicken & Mushrooms, Chocolate-Cherry Thumbprint Cookies, Spiked Eggnog Bread Pudding, and Pear Cider. With so many delicious dishes waiting to be sampled, I can’t possibly wait until the holidays! I really enjoyed this collection of tempting treats and more, and I really look forward to treating myself early this year!

This one didn't have as much to tempt me as the previous Taste of Home Christmas Cookbook, but it's still a fun read with plenty of delicious-sounding recipes and easy crafts, if you're into that sort of thing.

May update rating once I've tried a few recipes. The coconut shortbread is calling my name...

Packed with recipes, this is the book if you want new ideas for holiday meals and treats!

More pictures than usual (a plus!), but no recipes that stood out for me.

This Christmas themed cookbook is loaded with a variety of recipes for appetizers, side dishes, mains, desserts, cookies, even breakfast. Color photos on every page for inspiration!

So many good recipes, lots of photos!

So. Many. Good. Recipes.

...it's going to take forever to write out all the recipes I want to keep. I may need my own copy of this cookbook!
