Easy and Inexpensive Holiday Dinners (by Mihir Shah)

The appetizers look awesome. I always drag out the cheese and crackers for an appetizer which are boring and uninventive, but fast. But the baked cheese looks yummy, so do the greek triangle puffs - both doable and tasty. Also the zucchini fries might be another way to sneak in some more vegetables with my kids, at a time of year when they're pretty much surviving on gingerbread and candy canes.

Thanks for putting together this great collection of budget friendly but enticing recipes for the holidays. I have already made the Cranberry Yogurt Relish and it was fantastic. I plan to make it again at Christmas. My kids loved it too. I also plan to try the Corn Souffle and the Potatoes Gratin. I love it when I can find recipes that are economical but don't skimp on taste! These all look terrific! Great idea, thank you and Happy Holidays!

This is such a great list of recipes to have at my fingertips. I've had the opportunity to try a few of them in the past (baked brie, cranberry yogurt relish, potatoes gratin and the stuffed mushrooms) and they were terrific. I can't wait to try some more. I'm always looking for interesting side dishes. Thanks for putting them together.
