The Weekend Cook: Holiday Weekend

There are only two more weekends before the big day. Whether that's Christmas, Hannukah, or another holiday is up to you. Still, you need to plan and get to work! So make meals this weekend a breeze with this collection of recipes. My crockpot is working overtime; the only thing better would be to have a cook on staff. Enjoy these recipes and the holiday spirit!
