Holiday Recipe Round-Up

I’m gonna be honest. I don’t often love to be in the kitchen. But when there are some snowflakes softly falling or twinkle lights winking through the windows, bring on the baking! There’s something about the right kind of food that gets me in that holiday spirit. Hence, this holiday recipe round-up.

Thank you to TLC Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical for sponsoring this guide.

The holidays are the most wonderful time of the year, but they can also be stressful for your home. Between hosting guests, extra appliances running, and everyone needing a warm shower on those chilly mornings, your home is running to its max.

There’s nothing worse than having your heat go out, a water heater fail, or an electrical issue pop up right in the middle of your holiday celebrations. TLC hopes you won’t need them this season, but if you do, they’re available 24/7 to keep your home safe, warm, and comfortable.

TLC has been locally owned and operated for the past 35+ years, and their licensed Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electrical technicians are dedicated to helping fellow New Mexicans so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying time with family and friends.

Right now, TLC is offering special holiday deals to help you save:

• Free electrical panel inspection *homes older than 1985

Don’t let a home emergency steal your holiday cheer. Trust TLC, your local comfort experts, to be there when you need them most.

Below you’ll find sweet and savory holiday recipes from our team that conjure up all the cozy winter feels.

Let us know which ones are your favorites.

Here are a few recipes that are my personal favorites.

• My family has turkey for Thanksgiving, but beef for Christmas. I make Pioneer Woman’s herb-roasted prime rib. This is a gem of a recipe and always turns out perfectly.
• For a holiday side dish, I wholeheartedly recommend these to-die-for Whiskey Glazed Carrots. You’re welcome.
• For cookies, I have a few family recipes I love. But I go to the Queen of the Kitchen herself, Martha Stewart, of course, for her perfect sugar cookie and gingerbread cookie recipes.

If you grew up with a New Mexican Abuela, move along. But if you’re like me and are from out of state, you’re gonna need some traditional fare from the Land of Enchantment. Check out these recipes below.
