I just found out I need to cook Christmas Dinner.
That made me wonder what's on everyone else's menu?

Ham, lamb, sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, fried apples, broccolli and rosted garlic soup, some kind of veggie, don't know what else, mom's cooking.  I'm providing cookies.

Usually we have ham, sweet and mashed or scalloped potatoes, green beans and homemade cheesecake.  This year I may have a vegetarian guest, so will substitute a pecan loaf for the ham in that case (this is actually a really delicious treat even if you eat meat).  Almost forgot the homemade cranberry sauce...with toasted walnuts and Grand Marnier.

Mama's Cooking!! *squeeeeee*

I believe we will be having: Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green bean casserole, stuffing, cranberries (the jellied kind, YAY!), possibly sweet potatoes with marshmellows on top (Dad and the pirate like them), crescent rolls, WINE, and I am willing to bet pumpkin pie!!! Oh Oh OH and how could I forget... Mom's Figgy pudding.. It's not really figgy pudding, we just call it that.. It's actually a trifle.. Sooooooo good... White cake, vanilla pudding, bananas, strawberries and cool whip... *drool*

Stretchy pants.. here I come!!   ;D

.... Oh there's no place like home for the holidays......  :-*

We do mostly an appetizer extravaganza so to speak every Christmas Eve - some standards and some new recipes usually.  (dad's tasty chicken wings, my sister's artichoke dip, bacon-wrapped lil smokies baked in BBQ goodness, meat & cheese & crackers, way too many baked goodies & candies, etc., etc.)  Oh, and don't forget the strawberry slushies - YUM!

Christms Eve:  Swedish meatballs, boiled potatoes, some sort of vegetable, and rice pudding. 

Christmas:  Roast beef, green bean casserole, German potato salad, green salad, rolls, pickles, olives, pumpkin pie, cherry cheesecake.

There will also be cookies, rice crispy treats, and fudge.

Christmas Eve at Dad's: Chicken Salad sandwiches, bbq meatballs, pimento cheese stuffed celery sticks, deviled eggs, olive/pickle assortment, chips, homemade onion dip, chile con queso, chex mix "trash" and lots o' beer. Followed by fruitcake, persimmon loaf, pecan pie, pumkin pie, and sugar cookies.

Christmas Day: Airport fare at DFW, then Lady Mikayla OOOPS! Err..., ummm, ... I mean whatever Lady Mikayla is serving at her Orphan's Christmas!  :D

We do Christmas at our house...always the same...

Chicken breast over wild seasoned rice smothered in a cranberry/orange suace (I hate cranberries and yet I love this!).

Cornbread and oyster stuffing (actually made with clams, which I hate, but love this stuff anyway).

Acorn squash (Hate squash too, but yep, love acorn squash).

And cheesecake, who could hate cheesecake?

Which one?  XD  Well, this year, there's only two.  Normally, Christmas Eve calls for lasagna, garlic bread, a HUUUGE lovely salad, and cheesecake...but my friends and I cannot get together this year, so that's out.  T.T

This coming Sunday, my hubby and I will be going to my gramma's for her family Christmas, and that will consist of:
Ham, mashed potatoes, homemade noodles, sweet potato casserole (which is THE best way to have sweet potatoes), homemade stuffing, deviled eggs (probably with bacon, which is incredible), salad, potato salad, the "best rolls EVER," pecan pie, apple pie, peach pie (but that's just for my uncle), cherry pie (for another uncle and my hubby), and (if I manage to start feeling better so I can make it) Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle.  Of course, there may also be a stromboli show up, like it did last year.  I "LOLed," but it was deeeelicious.

His gramma's family Christmas is the same day this year, so we'll be missing that meal.

Then, on Christmas Day (with his parents), it'll be ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing (that's always for me XD), green beans, corn casserole (I'm still not totally sure about that...), deviled eggs, macaroni salad, banana cream cheesecake, and pumpkin pie or (if I don't make it for my Grandma's) the Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle.  =D

Well, we have Christmas eve dinner at my cousin's. Everyone brings something... green bean casserole, veggies, pickle tray, turkey and/or ham, roles, salad, pies, mashed potatoes and gravy, etc.
Christmas day is at my sister's and she is fixing prime rib, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, salad, i'm not sure what else, and pies for dessert.

Christmas Eve dinner just for us-my husband and kids usually consists of a standing prime rib roast  (this year it will likely be a cheaper cut of roast),  yorkshire pudding, and either mashed potatoes and gravy or roasted potatoes, carrots, and onions. Followed by Sid's (my husbands') mom's English trifle.  (pound cake liberally laced with  good Sherry, egg custard, pound cake slices covered in black raspberry jam, pears, and freshly whippped cream. 

Christmas day dinner at my moms with the whole family usually consists of turkey with all the trimmings, pies, cookies, cheeses, crackers, pepperoni, summer sausages, and more trifle.  Along with the english trifle I want to try one I've seen with chocolate cake, Baileys, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream.

Normally i make lasagna  for christmas eve, and we usually aslo nibble on chesse  and  sausage  and on Christmas day i cook  a ham, mash potatoes, and usually some other vegetable, and then we have homemade pecan pie  and homemade  fudge, and christmas cookies.

But this year we are going to my parents. My mom use to cook abig fancy meal   when  I  was growing up. we would have roast beef, filet migon, mashed potatos, sweet potatos, beans, cranberry,  corn,    a couple different salads, 3 different pies, homemade breads  and  cookies.
    But this year  with all my sisters, brother in laws,   their kids, and  their kids  kids, there will be 25 of us, so my mom is having it catered by a italian  restaurant near them. there will be Chicken in a marsala  wine, a eggplant dish, two diifernt pasta dishes, and  a antipasto  salad.   and then of course  my dad's homemade  pies  and my  mom's  cookies.  Guess i know where i got my love of cooking and  baking  from ! :)
