My Favorite Old School Holiday Foods
Hey, everyone! It’s your girl, Ronni Hawk. Not sure if you noticed but seems like everything “old school” is way cool again. I have friends who put polaroid cameras and record players on their Christmas lists! And it almost makes you nostalgic for the land line too. ☎️
If you want to jump on this trend, you can start with one of my favorite topics… food. Man, do I love food, and I really heart an old school Christmas spread. Try one of these holiday classics and then play some Pac-man.🕹️
1. Honey Glazed Ham
There is a reason why they have entire stores dedicated to ham. The combination of sweet honey over savory ham is to die for. And it’s so easy to pop in the oven. Your friends and family will think your super skilled in the kitchen even if you’re not!
2. Christmas Quiche
There are many different ways to make a solid quiche, but I found that adding cranberries and sage during the baking process takes it to a whole new level. And your friends will give you props for being super fancy. Plus, if you have out of town guests, a quiche is a fab dish to throw out on the breakfast table.
3. Roasted Chestnuts
I know roasted chestnuts sounds like something your grandad roasted on an open fire. But trust me, these are always a knockout at Christmas parties. So, put down your raw almonds during the holidays and embrace the chestnuts. If you want to try make them yourself, I like to precut the shells and soak chestnuts in hot water for a minute, which helps them steam while roasting. When I want to go a little highbrow with my recipe, I also coat chestnuts in rosemary, butter, nutmeg, and, of course salt and pepper.
4. Cinnamon Gingerbread Cake
Trust me, you don’t want to find yourself “stuck in the middle” 🤣 of a Christmas get-together without a dessert. My personal favorite is a cinnamon gingerbread cake. Remember, don’t be shy with the cinnamon; that’s what makes it so…Christmassy. 👌
