This appetizer is destined to become your football party food favorite! With all the flavor of hot wings minus the mess, these mini skewers, made with precooked chicken chunks, come together quickly. Serve with your favorite Buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing.

The flavor of bright lemon mixed with the tangy sweet kick of cranberries make this meal a win. With minimal prep and mess, this dinner is ready from fridge to table in just 50 minutes. This dish looks beautiful when served in the same pan, but you can also toss all the cranberries into a bowl or blender to make a side sauce. Squeeze the lemon into the cranberries, add a touch of sweetness with sugar or honey and in just a few minutes have yourself a cranberry dipping sauce for both the chicken and Brussels sprouts. Feel free to get fun with the veggies, too! Add any other greens or root veggies your family loves — especially if you are serving any picky eaters.

Inspired by an Epicurious.com recipe for short ribs, this dish features a complex flavor profile — spiciness from chiles, bitterness from coffee, slight sweetness from maple syrup and acidity from lime juice. Flavors blend together in a warming and delicious symphony of taste. The slow cooking brings the brisket to the peak of tenderness. Serve brisket over a bed of mashed potatoes or polenta, and it's also good with crispy smashed potatoes on the side. Shred leftovers for taco filling or add to mac and cheese for a second tasty meal.

This may be the best turkey recipe ever! Why? Because it's easy -- the perfect recipe for someone who is roasting turkey for the first time. A mixture of oil and herbs coats the skin and lends flavor and moisture as the turkey slow roasts in the oven. Basting during the second half of the cooking process also infuses the whole bird with flavor. A classic main dish for the holidays!
