My experience with purchasing the family’s entire Thanksgiving from Chef’d, the home delivery meal service, was so successful that I repeated for Christmas dinner. It’s become a tradition for us to have yummy prime rib on Christmas, so I was happy to see that Chef’d offered a recipe and ingredients for one. The prime rib that Chef’d delivered was beautiful! All of the other ingredients were fresh and high quality. I’m happy to share the recipe with you, as well as a tip for cooking from my husband, Chef Kevin!
