Christmas Dinner

[verenaerin]

What is your menu?

I am doing mini beef wellingtons. They are actually pretty easy and you make them the day before and then they sit over night. Also their baking time isn't very long.

-garlic mashed potatoes
-green beans


I don't know what else. Still thinking about it.

Ham, cheesey potatoes, not sure what else yet.

My husband is smoking a half turkey.  I'll do the trimmings: rice dressing, salad, homemade Mac n cheese, and either green beans wrapped in bacon or sausage stuffed jalapeños.....maybe both....it's Christmas, after all.  Wine, home brew, and cranberry spritzers for the underage crowd

holy communion

My work gives me a case of wine and a free ham for Christmas, so we will be having those (not the whole case). In addition, we will be having green beans, eggplant parm (Wife is vegetarian) and these bad boys...



Gratin. Hasselback style.

Looks yummy! 

My mom's side of the family makes pierogi, kielbasa, ham, scalloped potatoes.... Pretty much any combination of pork and potatoes you can think of.

My husband is making pot roast at my parents' house. Sides include carrots, potatoes, broccoli casserole, corn, and maybe green beans amandine.

Whatever my mom decides to cook, I'm relaxing 

[Parresia]

Ham, mashed potatoes with ham gravy, some sides of some kind (still working on that part), and dessert (probably pie or bread pudding).

It's still up in the air for us. My sister's not getting here until Christmas night, so we'll be eating the official dinner on St. Stephen's Day.

[St. Drogo]

Suckling pig and roasted eel with various accompaniments.

[OCLittleFlower]

It's a team effort at my grandma's.

Roast beef and mashed potatoes.  Not sure what the other sides are.

Here's the link to the recipe for Hasselback Gratin. it's another one from Kenji at Serious Eats (he's the one who deconstructed the McD's french fry, Chick Fil A sandwich, etc.) The photo in the above isn't mine, but I've made them once and yes-they do turn out like that.
