Though I’m guessing a lot of our Older Bolder readers have their holiday menu already planned by now, we thought it would be fun to throw out a list of suggestions for an uptown, something-different holiday meal main dish. (And yes, the list is protein-centric in terms of main dish offerings.)
We’re huge fans of flavorful, interesting, creative food, hence the inclusion of several “not your grandma’s typical holiday fare” recipes below.
And for the traditionalists out there, who can’t imagine the Christmas or New Year’s table without a medium rare Prime Rib Roast, the first link in the series is to Kenji Lopez’s Serious Eats post on Prime Rib – it’s the best we’ve ever come across; watch his video (on his site) if you’ve not before.

Break out of your routine this year and craft a culinary masterpiece that you’ve not shared with friends and family before.
