Bridget Moynahan’s Unexpected Christmas Recipe Revealed in The Blue Bloods Cookbook
The cast of Blue Bloods has taken their on-screen family dinners to the next level by turning them into a real-life cookbook. Each cast member shared a personal family recipe for The Blue Bloods Cookbook, giving fans a taste of the warmth and tradition that define the Reagan family.
For years, viewers have loved watching the Reagans gather around the table each episode a ritual rooted in family history. As Jamie Reagan once explained, the tradition began with his grandmother in Ireland, who turned modest meals into a celebration of togetherness. That spirit of abundance followed the family to New York and now, into their cookbook.
Among the many recipes featured, Bridget Moynahan stands out with her unconventional Christmas Eve dish: Swedish meatballs. While most families serve ham or turkey during the holidays, Moynahan’s household celebrates with this savory Scandinavian favorite.
Her recipe included both in the cookbook and online calls for a blend of one pound of ground beef and a quarter pound of pork to create 15 rich, flavorful meatballs. They’re perfect served with egg noodles, rice, bread, or mashed potatoes a comforting twist on the traditional Christmas dinner.
And for those who still crave something classic, The Blue Bloods Cookbook also features a delicious glazed ham recipe, described by Moynahan as “a perfect mix of sweet and salty.” According to the cast, the ham quickly became a favorite snack during filming breaks
proving that the Reagans’ table, both on and off screen, always has room for everyone.
