4. Orange & Cranberry Sauce

It's true something sweet needs to go with all that savory food . This welcome treat is a staple, and is one of the easiest recipes on the list. See the recipe here.

5. M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies

Desert is one of our favorite words, and it's also our favorite part of cooking during the holidays. Almost all deserts can be made the day before, but it wouldn't be the same fresh baked cookies! We recommend making the batter the night before for easy clean-up. Click here for the link.
