Appetizers, main dishes, desserts... anything! Ideas needed!

I thought I had it all planned, but DH wants something different so now it is back to the drawing board. Eek.

    I have a new appetizer that I love. One package of Jimmy Dean hot sausage. Cook it and add 2 pkgs. cream cheese and two cans of Rotel one drained and one not. Serve with Scoop chips. Everyone always raves about it. I'm trying the famous Oreo Truffles this year too. I love Paula Deans green bean casserole too. I got it off of the Food Network site. It's so good!

    Appetizer: mini cheeseburgers with hot pepper jelly wrapped in crescent roll dough.

    If it were up to me, I'd have ham, cheesy potatoes, rolls, spinach salad and broccoli.

    Au Gratin Potatoes...mmm...I can't wait for Thursday. 

    I love me some ham, too, but if my family let me just have a whole plate full of potatoes, it would be the best Christmas gift ever.

    We're actually doing it up for Christmas Eve this year because my sis won't have her kids on Christmas Day.  I'm kind of liking that because it means that I won't have to worry about cooking on Christmas and we can lounge in our PJ's and just hang out as a family all day (with plenty of leftovers).

    We're planning to serve dinner around 2:00 and seriously, I think we probably have enough to feed half the neighborhood so come on over!

    LOL! I could eat lefse all day long - bad memories aside.
