Easy NonTraditional Holiday Dishes

Happy Soon to Be Turkey Day!

I love Thanksgiving, I love it so much that I thought it was SOOO appropriate that my daughter was due on Thanksgiving. Every year we throw her a birthday party I try to gear the menu AWAY from Thanksgiving traditions just so we do not get sick of it. So below are some EASY non traditional holiday dishes you can serve for the holidays or at any event.

Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches- all you need is chicken salad and mini croissants. Make the salad or pick up your favorite at a local store. Toast croissants and stuff with salad. Awesome and yummy, and fancy too!

Pigs in a Blanket Artist Style-Every year I make the number my daughter turns out of crescent rolls and hot dogs. This year she turned 5 so I baked it in the shape of a 5. It is so cute and yummy.

Bean Dip- This is SO easy and yet SO yummy. Let the cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes so it is easy to spread. In a Pyrex spread cream cheese on the bottom, next top with refried beans (I used can ones, I know easy to make from scratch but who has time for that) last top with shredded cheddar. Warm up in microwave for 3 mins or until all cheese is melted. Serve with nacho chips.

Spanish Rice- Yum Yum Yum. I love the Goya yellow Spanish rice. I follow directions on package but about half way before it is done I add a cup of frozen peas and a teaspoons of salt. Then finish cooking. So Semi homemade!


Happy Eats :)
