As the holiday season approaches, many of us would like our harried, contemporary lifestyles to suddenly transform into something that looks a lot like a Norman Rockwell painting the family sitting around the table, cheeks rosy, faces smiling, as mom brings the gorgeously browned turkey to the feast-laden table. Yes, it's a perfect picture - and one that's pretty difficult to re-create.
Or is it?
What if you could find a way to make some of your family's favorite dishes, fake the rest and still have that flawless holiday dinner - and actually be able to enjoy some time with your family?
Using our recipes, you can choose which parts of dinner you want to create from scratch, whether it's the centerpiece turkey, your signature potatoes or grandma's classic stuffing (or even all three). Then use our time-saving shortcuts to round out the rest of the meal. You'll have the chance to put all of your family's favorite homespun touches on the holiday dinner table while saving yourself valuable time and without sacrificing a thing.
We've provided two versions of each recipe for a classic holiday feast. One you can make from scratch or one that uses time-saving methods just take your pick. It's truly the perfect holiday solution.
