I'll Be Home for Christmas Cookbook

At Christmas, we think of people and places that have meant so much to us, and of going home to them...even if only in our hearts. Christmas carols, fresh-cut pine, steamy hot cocoa and of course Mom's best cookies baking in the oven all bring cherished memories back to us.

For I'll Be Home for Christmas, we've gathered recipes perfect for every occasion. For a brunch buffet with friends, Ham & Swiss Quiche and White Hot Chocolate are sure to be a hit. On Christmas morning, you'll love Sticky Pecan Buns and Scrambled Egg, Ham & Cheese Casserole...they bake while you're opening gifts!

On chilly days, Slow-Cooker Corn Chowder and Too-Busy-to-Cook Chili are perfect winter warm-ups after sledding or shopping. Round it out with a basket of Spicy Cheddar Cornbread.

Hosting family & friends for dinner? Serve up Christmas Shepherd's Pie, Sandy's Chicken Lasagna or Grandma's Holiday Beef Brisket...there's comfort in every bite. Round out the menu with Artichoke-Rice Salad, Ridiculously Good Scalloped Potatoes and Lemony Skillet Broccoli.

Christmastime is party time! Nutty Cheddar Cheese Log, Sassy Shrimp Spread and Mulled Cranberry Wassail will put everyone in a holiday mood. Want a little more? Edith's Chipped Ham Bar-B-Q makes delicious sandwiches.

We couldn't forget dessert, of course! Make a batch of Peppermint Butter Balls, Suzie's Holidaze Fudge and of course, Crispy Sugar Cookies to decorate. Pumpkin Crunch Cobbler and Italian Christmas Cream are scrumptious endings to a festive meal.

You'll find easy-to-follow recipes using familiar ingredients, clever tips for adding all the holiday trimmings and heartfelt memories of Christmases past. So get ready...we'll set a place for you!
