This pie is ideal for the holidays in Maine as it unites two of the state’s best things: maple syrup and wild blueberries. It has some excellent antioxidants from the berries and anti-inflammatory qualities from the syrup, too! And it tastes even better a couple of days after you bake it, so it can help alleviate some holiday stress. Enjoy! ~ Anna

Sausage, Veggie and Apple Sheet Pan Dinner

This is such an easy, delicious meal that will feed your holiday crowd, or last for several days. It also freezes well. Serve with a big salad and buttery rolls and/or add shredded cheddar cheese for an extra delight! Kat loves this recipe on winter nights she wants an easy go-to, without any of the dishes. Charlene made it and added Brussel sprouts. ~ Kat

Scalloped Oysters

This recipe is a Christmas Eve tradition in the Dimock family with the original recipe coming from my great grandmother. While it is a tradition, most of my family does not dare to try it! For years it was just me and my grandparents that would eat this dish, a memory with them that I cherish. Last year, my grandmother and I convinced most of the family to try it and the general consensus was that it really wasn’t that bad. I hope you give this recipe a try, even if you aren’t an oyster fan. ~ Emma

Healthy Crab Cakes

We are so fortunate to live in Maine and have access to fresh seafood that it’s easy to incorporate seafood into holiday meals. These crab cakes are perfect as an appetizer. Happy holidays! ~ Charlene

Lazy Mac ‘n Cheese

My mother specialized in no frills, tasty dishes that are easy to make. This mac ‘n cheese comes together fast and is ah-mazing reheated with butter! The perfect comfort food on cold Maine days. ~ Juli
