Gluten-Free Stained Glass Cookies

My Gluten-Free Stained Glass Window Cookies are a firm family favorite that looks very impressive but are quick and simple to make, even my kids can help! What I really I love about them is that they require no special decorating skills, as long as you have a couple of cookie cutters and my great cookie recipe you're good to go!" — Sheena Strain, Jackson, Mississippi

No-Knead Brioche

"My holiday go-to is this No-Knead Brioche. Breakfast can get lost in the chaos of the holidays, but this brioche solves that problem. It hardly takes any work, has an unseemly amount of butter that makes it taste spectacular, and can be made ahead of time and stashed in the freezer. It makes a perfect breakfast with a simple smear of jam, and it also makes amazing French toast. (And as a bonus, I love that the dough can also be made into cinnamon rolls.)" — Mary Kasprzak, Chicago

Easy 4-Ingredient Classic Prime Rib

"This recipe has been a family favorite since I was little. The recipe is one my mom made for all of our special occasions. At Christmas or New Years she would put it in the oven while we played board games and it required very little attention. I have continued the family tradition serving it with mashed potatoes, peas and Yorkshire pudding!" — Michele Hall, Woodland Hills, California

Peppermint Fudge Doughnuts

"My Christmas morning is a blur. From opening presents to visiting relatives, we are seldom able to relax and have an easy morning. To help ease this I make breakfast ahead of time. One of my favorites is my Peppermint Fudge Doughnuts recipe because it can be made ahead and be beautifully decorated. And as a plus, these doughnuts are baked and not fried, which really makes it an easy go-to recipe." — Michelle Boulé, Antrim, New Hampshire
