Christmas Menu

This year is the first year where I'm preparing the Christmas dinner. I would much rather being playing with my boys and their new toys but my card was drawn to make the Turkey, haha. 

What is your Christmas menu consisting of? So far I have...

Shrimp ring appetizer

Turkey hopefully not burnt or raw

Stuffing- hopefully not filled with salmonella poisoning from the undercooked turkey.

Mashed potatoes, extra creamy

either butternut squash or candied sweet potatoes. Probably the squash

peas and corn

eggnog/rum jello ring- it sounds awful but its delicious

 

Dessert? I dunno- something yummy. Desserts are my specialty.

If you're looking for a dessert,I just made red velvet brownies w/cream cheese frosting. There was a recipe from Southern Living, but I just used my normal brownie recipe and added red food coloring. I made them for a girls' night, and they were a hit. Very pretty!

I think we're having prime rib, made by FIL. I like his cooking, but so help me, if he overcooks it, I will freak out.

We do a big Christmas Eve at my parents house: standing rib roast, cheesey potatoes and red skin potatoes, green beans with almonds and mushroom, rolls, homemade mac and cheese, salad, and their is always fried chicken, pizza and a deli platter( with all the fixings plus potatoe and pasta salads)for those who don't like the beef or want a little bit of everything.

We have apps and desserts as well. 

On Christmas day, its Turkey, honeybaked ham, scalloped potatoes, veggies, (mostly all the same as Thanksgiving)

My grandma makes ravioli (like, from scratch). They are delish. This probably does not help you though,.

I can ask how she makes them. They are amazing. She makes meat and cheese. So good.

Eve a Hispanic dish. I think I want pozole or maybe tacos. Or tamales. I haven't decided yet ; oh all made by my mom with my help

Christmas dinner is tradition with my Dhs family , which means he gets to decide what e wants for dinner since it is his birthday. : all I know is it will be some meat that will cook in the smoker for hours.

Ugh, I have no idea!  I was actually hoping that I got away without having to cook for the holidays this year, but alas, DH dropped the bombshell this morning that he wants me to cook a turkey for Christmas Day dinner.  We went to my brothers for Thanksgiving and for Christmas Eve dinner we are spending it with a very close friends family.

I was really hoping that Christmas Eve dinner could be our big dinner for the holiday and that we could just do finger foods/light foods for Christmas day.

I really, really do not want to cook a turkey just for DH, DD, and I.  There is no way we would even eat half of it.  Maybe if I come up with a killer finger food menu he'll change his mind.
