During the Holidays all you want to do is enjoy quality time with your loved ones. Everyone looks for dishes in the table that they usually do not eat in their normal days.  So you do want to make something special for them but you do not want to waste all the time in the kitchen instead of spending quality time with them.

My choice of method is crockpot cooking because it keeps me enough time to spend with my family, do some chores, make time to relax and at the same time I get a fabulous main course on the table.

Here are some chicken main course, Turkey and Beef recipe that would really impress all your guests.
