The holidays are again quickly approaching which means it’s time for another round of meal planning! For Christmas I like to go a little more non-traditional (last year I made myself barbacoa), but this year something is just screaming Christmas traditions! I know cranberries are often found on the Thanksgiving table in the form of a sauce shaped as a can that no one touches, but this year, for Christmas, we are doing things a little differently starting with these Cranberry Orange Blue Cheese Crostini.

I love the cranberry orange flavor combo so when I started thinking of new crostini ideas (because who doesn’t love crostini), I knew this had two be included. For cheese a went a little daring, but if you’re not into such a pungent cheese you could sub out brie and it would be fantastic. I sweetened things up a bit with some honey, then had the after thought that candied pecans would have been perfect, and the result was fantastic. These were so easy and yummy, you could make the simple chutney a couple of days in advance then you would have to do almost no work the day of to prep these. What are you looking most forward to on your Christmas table?
