Last-Minute Christmas, New Year's Menu Ideas

If you're looking for some last-minute holiday-appropriate appetizers, main courses or desserts to serve your family and guests this Christmas and New Year's, Patch blogger Victoria Hart Glavin has got you covered.

A good place to start is her list of menu ideas for every taste and skill level—ranging from cold hors d'oeuvres like buttermilk biscuits with turkey and chutney to a red wine marinated London Broil main course with a side of sage-roasted beets and applesauce.

For dessert, she recommends "holiday traditions" like Buche de Noel, a gingerbread loaf or shortbread cookies.
