This reminded me of those lengthy videos that used to feature on Kin, regularly. Loved this one...such practical, time saving and easy recipes. Versatile as well. Can be recreated at any given time, not necessarily only at a festival. Thank u Beth. Oh! The inclusion of the 🌲 ornaments also made it warm & charming!

[@tickletumtandy]

I made this today for my husband and friends, Beth! Everyone loved it! Thank you so much for your videos. Merry Christmas! ❤️💚🎄

I like to cook but it’s been a long time since my children lived at home. My husband and I direct most of our cooking towards health and weight control! Your menus and food prep look so fun and delicious! I’m motivated to make a few of your recipes to bring to our family potluck. Thank you for adding something so enjoyable to my life!

For Christmas it's just my boyfriend and me this year and we are doing bolognese with handmade pasta and tiramisu for dessert. Can't wait!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh wow that sounds totally delicious and amazing!! Have fun you two!! :)

[@oneworld24]

That sounds so fabulous. Happy holidays

[@Rhayra]

I know exactly how that is. Last year we did ham, this year will be ribs, but I think I might do something special for dessert. Maybe Beth's ice cream trick of Domestic Geek's pecan pie bars.

Perfect 💥

[@maggiedelgado5742]

Great menu and the game plan makes it even more attainable. I am saving your menu for a special occasion. This Christmas it will only be my daughter and I , but still the puerto rican traditional menu will be on the table: stewed rice with pigeon peas, pasteles (they are similar to tamales but the dough is made with grated root vegetables), potato salad and roasted pork shoulder. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you for your wonderful content.

[@DizDesignGirl]

Everything looks delicious!!! ❤

[@truegapeach6968]

Another phenomenal menu! Thank you so very much for your planning as well. I hope you and your family have the most wonderful Christmas ❄️🤍

This is the 1st video of yours that I've seen and WOW!! I'm a brand new subscriber and big fan! The planning ahead details are pricelessly helpful, the recipes are beautiful and extremely well thought out, your explanation insights are so very much appreciated. I wish I could have watched your videos 30 years ago when I became a stay at home wife and mother. What a difference it would have made to my peace of mind. Instead I will forward them ALL onto my 29 year old daughter. Dear, you are a treasure. God bless you this Christmas & always. 🙏❤

They are fancy and yet pocket friendly! Perfect for Xmas. Loved them all! I think the ice cream idea is brilliant.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh that ice cream is so great! And once you know this trick, there's no limit to the type of flavors you can dream up ha! I also do a vanilla, and crushed candy cane one for these baked Alaskas which are pretty insanely good! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpfKgHuJbLuDhbs&feature=emb_title
