Christmas feast!

What is everyone cooking for Christmas?

This is our first year without the traditional turkey. With thanksgiving turkey still on my taste buds I decided we are having tacos! Homemade salsa and guac!

Re: Christmas feast!

  • We are grazers... Fun appetizers all day! Still collecting recipes!

  • I'm making an Oreo cheesecake to bring over to my sister's. I think we're doing the turkey thing.

    Don't forget the pigs in blankets! Oooh and lots of meat stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, sprouts, bread sauce...
  • BIL is making a turkey, and I'm getting all the sides from Whole Foods this year. I already pre-ordered them on their website. I just have to think of dessert.

  • It's 630am and you all are making me so hungry!

    We have ham on Christmas eve just the two of us (it has always been the day we open our gifts to each other). Sometimes my mom comes for the dinner part too.

    Christmas is across the street at my brothers...having roast beef and gravy and I can't wait. I'm making cupcakes and sugar cookies for dessert!

    Day after Christmas is at mother in laws...she asked what we want so I get to choose!!! Yay!!! I'm thinking baked stuffed chicken.

    Not to mention I picked up some reses peanut butter trees yesterday. And some peppermint bark. Food glorious food! And mashed potatoes three days in a row is pretty much my dream.
  • No idea what the in laws are serving but I do know I'll be wearing my maternity jeans for maximum food consumption purposes. :-)
  • turkey thats cooked overnight with streaky bacon on it and pigs in blankets stuffed inside, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, yorkshire puddings, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, swede, butternut squash, stuffing, lots of gravy!

    I wondered if Yorkshire Pudding was served with Christmas Turkey. I should have asked my dad yesterday (from Yorkshire) when I asked what english xmas dinner was traditionally. Yum, Yorkshire pudding.

  • Chilli for the Eve. Bacon and eggs for breakfast with ham and pulled pork through the day. Gotta get some veggies in some where as everyone else will be eating dips and such as sides. I am bringing my avacado oil chips for some special snacking.
  • My family orders Chinese food cuz no one likes to spend the day cooking.
  • I won't be cooking as we travel to our families on Christmas.

    However, I am going to have to come up with something for Christmas Eve. DH works so it will be DD and I. I'll probably do some kind of takeout! Typically, we spend Christmas Eve with DH's family and have Italian food. It's not my favorite, but what they always do.

    Christmas is at my aunt's and we usually have tons of food including Honeybaked Ham, turkey, potatoes, corn casserole, and tons of cookies and candy buckeyes! It's pretty awesome.

    As a Yorkshire gal, I can tell you that we most certainly do in our house, with the full roast and then trifle afterwards. In fact we have yorksires most sundays cause my Canadian in-laws love 'em!

    I'm going to eat all of the things. For the health of my little poppet, obviously :P
  • @Joolschweetheart‌ - do you have a favored recipe to share?

  • I don't measure stuff anymore but this is a great recipe that works really well! Jamie O is a legend :)

    https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/eggs-recipes/amazing-yorkies/

    The key is getting the fat super hot to the point of smoking...and not opening the door until they puff up. Other than that they're pretty easy!

  • We are having our traditional:

    Standing Rib Roast and
    Coquilles St. Jacques (a scallop, white wine, cream sauce over rice. It's amazing!)
    Berry Trifel

    BFP on Sept 29, 2014: our 2 year anniversary

  • I'm bringing a breakfast casserole to my brother's house, and I have no idea what else will be there- they're pretty disorganized. Last year they were just really getting food together early afternoon when we had to leave and head back into town to go to the IL's. I also have no clue what the IL's will be serving for dinner. They're supposed to be letting me know if I need to bring anything and I haven't heard yet. I'm just going to keep my head down and fly under the radar, since it will be interesting coordinating that and the three hour round trip to my brother's earlier in the day. The IL's live close to us, though, so it would be feasible to swing by home first to pick things up, but I don't think bringing anything that needs to be hot on arrival will work.

  • Yummm. Y'all are making me hungry.

    We always do Christmas Eve with my side of the fam, and it's BYOS (bring your own steaks) and a nice green salad, twice-baked loaded potatoes and yeast rolls. And sweet tea of course, this is the South after all. :) then chocolate cheese cake for dessert.
    *drooling*
    Is is Christmas Eve yet? :)

    Oh yeah, and then we do Christmas Day with Dh's parents and she always just cooks up whatever (she is an amazing cook so everything she makes is like gourmet) and then we snack all day long.
  • Christmas morning I usually make cinnamon rolls. During the day I'll have a few munchies around, ususlly hot 3 cheese artichoke dip and some crudite w/ranch. Mulled apple cider will be in the crock pot.

    Dinner will be prime rib, rolls, cheesy mashed potatoes, and green beans almondine. Only three of us this year so I'm keeping it simple.

    Dessert will be cheesecake & cookies & the Doctor Who christmas special.

  • Yum!!! We will have a Lowcountry boil on Chrismas eve (think shrimp boil with sausage and potatoes) and crab legs. Christmas Day will be beef tenderloin with horseradish cream, roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted okra and Gorgonzola polenta- creme brûlée for dessert. Can't wait!

  • The thought of eating any sort of roast poultry totally grosses me out now (thanks Thanksgiving morning sickness) so I have bought a cottage ham to cook whenever DH and I decide to do our little family Christmas.

  • Roast beef, potatoes au gratin, popovers, and peas. People bring dessert so you never know what's going to happen but there is always a wide variety of deliciousness.
