Comfort foods are some of the best ways to allow yourself to feel happy and cozy: but what if we mixed them up a little bit?  From switching up how you fondue to making deviled eggs that would turn anyone green with envy: these are the best twists for any dish, you love that will surprise and thrill anyone who tries them!

These are delicious changes, so don’t be surprised if they become your new classic!

Fondue With Matcha White Chocolate

Fondue has been a staple in American households since the 1960s, allowing people to feel like they’re eating gourmet food while dipping whatever foods they want into the sweet or savory melting pot.

To bring these into the 21st century, with a taste of something sweet and familiar that you can’t find anywhere else.  Using matcha, heavy cream, white chocolate, and a good melting pot, you’ll be able to create a gorgeous green mixture that’s delicious for dipping anything sweet that you want! 

Bacon Jam Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies have been a staple in American holiday dishes for ages, and they aren’t going anywhere any time soon!  Made from either a shortbread cookie or sugar cookie base that’s then indented and filled with jam, these are most often topped with fruit jellies or jams to bring the sweetness over the top.

What if there were a type of jam you could add that would subvert expectations?  Bacon jam thumbprint cookies are delicious, tanging, and sweet all at the same time.  Once you try this once, you’ll want it again and will quickly realize how many people are going to start requesting it.  

Avocado Deviled Eggs

It’s no secret that avocado toast has taken over the modern breakfast menu, but these awesome green stone fruits don’t have to stop there!  When you make deviled eggs, simply add not only avocado oil but real chopped avocado to it, with mayo, lime juice, and a little bit of bacon and chives. 

This recipe is great for any family gathering, as well as a delicious breakfast for anyone who doesn’t mind putting in a little work early in the morning.  These taste creamy and delicious and will surprise anyone who hasn’t tried them before.

Sweet Potato Dinner Rolls

Dinner rolls are one of the best parts of the holiday: so you must make sure they’re as delicious as possible.  A fantastic way to add a little bit of a healthy twist to a part of dinner that’s usually empty calories is to switch out your normal dinner rolls for vegan ones!

To make these, you’ll need sweet potato puree, yeast, non-dairy milk, and everything else that’s required to make bread.  This treat is incredibly delicious, especially when paired with anything from honey to jelly, and will be an instant classic after you serve it! 

Your Dishes Can Be Anything You Want!

Many people seem to feel pinned to tradition, especially when making food for a family gathering: but this isn’t the way it has to be!  Instead of clinging to the classics, consider mixing them up and creating something that’s mind-blowing and delicious in every bite.
