As most of my friends and family know, I am no expert in the kitchen. I love easy recipe ideas whatever the season (and God only knows how busy Christmas is!). So here, I’ve gathered up 20 easy Christmas recipe ideas – from simple desserts to easy to assemble appetizers – for those of us looking to simplify things over the holidays. Regardless, these recipes are great for both the seasoned cook and the newbie host or hostess who’d like to impress their guests – and all while using ingredients that are easily accessible and with kitchen gadgets that most of us already have in our kitchens.
Here are my top 20 pics for this season:
3. 3-Ingredient Skittles Fudge
5. The Easiest Holiday Cookie Ever
8. Olive You Holiday Antipasto Wreath
9. Cranberry Pecan Mini Goat Cheese Balls
10. How To Build The Ultimate Cheese Board
12. Gluten Free Spiced Hot Fruit Bake
13. Thanksgiving Leftover Pumpkin Pie Shake
14. Christmas Morning Barcelona Hot Chocolate
18. Rudolph Noses Holiday Drink
20. Pear and Thyme Fizzy Drink
I am excited to sample some of these this year. Who knows? I just may start a little early to do some taste testing – for quality control purposes of course 😉

Fortunately hubby knows how to make fudge, that’s way above my level of cooking skills, so that’s going to be his. Me – I’m going to do the cheese balls. Thanks Jelica for the scrumptious round up
