Holiday baking can be loads of fun, but no-bake treats like Christmas rice krispie treats are often faster if you need something last minute to fill out a dessert spread or bring to a party. A little food coloring and themed toppings give the classic treat a festive touch!

The full printable recipe is linked above, but if you're making your grocery list here's what you'll need:

Inside Aisles: 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal, 10 oz mini marshmallows, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp sprinkles, 1/4 cup holiday M&Ms, 2 oz red candy melts, and 10-20 drops green food coloring

Cold: 1/2 cup butter

Kitchen Consumables: Parchment paper, small zip-top bag (optional, for drizzling candy melts)

Stuffed pork loin looks fancy, but it doesn't have to be hard! Anne talks through slicing it open for a spiral stuffed look that is not only nice visually, but keeps the filling evenly distributed and less likely to spill out.

The full printable recipe is linked above, but if you're making your grocery list here's what you'll need:

Meat: 3 lb boneless pork loin

Stuffing: 12 oz frozen spinach, 1/2 cup feta cheese

Seasoning: 4 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp oil

If you've been wanting to make a Standing Rib Roast (aka Prime Rib), the sous vide is fabulous for making it a consistent temperature edge to edge. If you don't have a sous vide or large enough equipment for your roast, Anne talks through using the reverse-sear method as well.

Anne talks through upgrading the usual chicken sandwich with apples for crunch. You can grab leftover chicken (or even turkey, 'tis the season), or cook up some in a skillet if needed. Fresh bakery rolls make this feel gourmet, but whatever bread you have will still make a tasty sandwich.

The full printable recipe card is linked above, but if you're making your grocery list here's what you'll need for 2 sandwiches:

Bakery section: 2 of your favorite rolls (ie ciabatta, torta)

Produce: Lettuce, 1 Apple,

Cold: 8 oz chicken breast, 2-4 slices white cheddar (depending on thickness)

Inside aisles: 1/4 cup honey mustard dressing

Anytime you have a ham bone or ham hocks, you've got the base for a great soup with homemade broth and minimal prep. This ham, potato, and green bean stew is especially perfect after holidays if you have a partial spiral ham hanging out in the fridge.

The full printable recipe is linked above, but if you're making your grocery list here's what you'll need:

Meat: 1 lb diced ham, 1 ham bone or ham hocks* plus 6 cups water

Vegetables: 1.5 lb red potatoes, 1 large onion, 12 oz green beans (fresh or frozen)

Seasonings: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper

*Can swap in broth instead, but bones will give the best flavor.
