5 Holiday Recipes Even The World’s Worst Cook Could Make

You want delicious AND simple? Well, here you go.

“Oh, this baked brie is to die for! And I must get the recipe for the crab dip before you leave!”

These words are spoken at holiday parties year after year. I often hear people beg for the recipes of favorite dishes.

And yet … no one has ever asked me for a recipe of any kind. I am a bad cook, and everyone knows it. I know it. I accept it, and so when I’m cooking, my expectations (along with everyone else’s) are low. But when the holidays roll around, it sure would be nice to have a recipe or two on hand that I could whip up, knowing with certainty that they would, indeed, taste good. Well, the holiday season is officially underway, girlfriends!  

So, if you are also recipe-challenged, then I have good news for you: Foolproof, party-approved, holiday recipes do exist! I did the research, which I’m now willing to share with my fellow bad cooks. Bookmark this page or take a screenshot and enjoy the praise from friends and family at your next party. I now present you with a recipe for every occasion.
