Butternut Squash Soup

A nice seasonal soup is a perfect first course for a holiday meal. I especially love this recipe because it’s light, but packed with flavor. ~ Charlene

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

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

Oma’s Holiday Seafood Casserole

My mother is known to many as Oma, and she always went above and beyond in decorating, entertaining and baking for the holidays. This was one of her special dinner entrees for company over at our festive home when I was growing up. ~ Nancy

Jay’s Ham Mac & Cheese Bake

This has been my go-to comfort food favorite for as long as I can remember! My dad (Jay) has always made this for birthdays and when I would come home from college. It’s perfect for a special holiday meal, too! ~ Whitney

Muffuletta Sandwich

This is something we always have when our family comes together, especially around the holidays. Sliced in 1-inch sections, it is perfect to add to a plate during a buffet style meal or all by itself. My mom usually makes two to bring to our annual family Christmas party and we always leave empty handed. Be careful though, it can be quite messy! ~ Emma
