11 Must-Try Recipes to Make This December, According to Our Editors

I am strictly a “no Christmas music until after Thanksgiving” kind of person, but with companies trying to usher in the holiday season earlier and earlier each year, it can be hard to resist. But I’m proud to say that this year I didn’t give in! Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, I’m in full winter holiday mode, embracing every aspect of the season I can—including as much baking and cooking as possible. 

December means a continuation of cozy foods, both for holiday parties and weeknights at home. Our editors are looking forward to some cooking and baking projects this month, like a Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Pie, but they’re also craving simple dinner recipes for nights at home, like easy sausage and lentils made in a pressure cooker.
