Re: Crafting/Making/Cooking/Baking - December 2022

  • So I’m stuck on what to make for Christmas Eve dinner. I’ll be hosting for 10 people and I’ll be in the kitchen a lot on Christmas Day, so I’m looking for something a bit easy to make for a crowd. Any ideas? What do you all eat on Christmas Eve?

  • @maggiemadeit we usually go to in-laws and they do a prime rib dinner. Which really isn’t too bad since you throat the roast in the oven and then can cook other things. A big pasta feed is what we usually do on Xmas at my moms, and that could be pretty easy too! Ask everyone to bring an app or side dish :)

  • @maggiemadeit definitely agree with @bearmomma1 asking others to pitch in with side dishes!! 

    I usually make little gingerbread men this time of the month but with everyone in my house sick, I’m not sure that is going to happen.

  • @maggiemadeit Ok so maybe a curve ball, but a favorite local taqueria here makes homemade tamales for pre-order for Xmas idea. I’ve always wanted to do this if we weren’t going to the in-laws. Maybe there’s something like that around you? Unless you don’t like Mexican of course

  • @bearmomma1 Thanks for the suggestions! We do rib roast on Xmas day, but a pasta bake or tamales sound like great options. And bonus points because they could be made ahead of time. 

    @AmMcc12 I hope you all get feeling better and you can find some time for your cookie tradition.
  • We used to always do like a soup feed on Christmas Eve. Several crockpots full of soup some crusty bread. Dessert. Bam a meal for all.
