Wfd tonight and special meals tomorrow

[kershnic]

Tonight is traditional wild rice soup for the women and children and oyster stew for the men folk, plus homemade rolls. And champagne. Chocolate fondue for desert after the children are snug in their beds.

Tomorrow were having ham and turkey and whatever million sides you serve to 25 people.

[cinco]

I haven't even thought about it yet. Yikes. It's just me and the kids tonight, so leftover ham and veggies? Cinnamon buns tomorrow am, snacky stuff here for lunch, and dinner at my parents.

[Brie]

Tonight: ham, pineapple casserole, Christmas rice, salad, rolls, pumpkin pie and Christmas cookies

Christmas breakfast: ham/egg/cheese sandwiches, sweet rolls, coffee with Bailey's and poinsettias

Christmas dinner: balsamic glazed pork tenderloin, spaetzle and gravy, cranberry orange sauce, salad, rolls, chocolate cake

[krystee]

I think we'll do appetizers for dinner and watch Christmas movies. Tomorrow is cinnamon rolls at home, followed by "breakfast" (it's at noon, so I am considering it lunch) at my parents' house: French toast, bacon, eggs. Then we'll have dinner at my aunt's: beef tenderloin, turkey and a million sides.

I got tasked with making seven-layer salad and I am not having a good morning sickness day. I am ready to vomit at all of this mayo I have to put in there. Only in the Midwest!

[noodleskooze]

Tonight: pasta with Italian sausage meat sauce, garlic bread, and oyster stew.
Tomorrow am: Pillsbury Orange Cinnamon Rolls

Breakfast tomorrow is at the ILs: French toast, Scotch eggs, Cinnamon Rolls, Mimosas

I'm hosting dinner: Beef Tenderloin, Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Corn, Roasted Carrots & Brussels, and Rolls. Dessert is Eggnog Cheesecake brownies & Sticky Toffee Pudding. ILs are bringing appetizers.

[Deleted]

I think we might get Chinese takeout on the way home from church, as it's just DH, DD and I. I'm making breakfast/brunch at my house tomorrow. I don't know exactly what I'm serving (as in what recipes I have bookmarked to use), but I have 3 lbs of bacon, 2 lbs of sausage, 3 dozen eggs, cheese, cinnamon rolls, a few types of bread, a gallon of orange juice, 2 bottles of champagne, tons of coffee, and 2 quarts of cream - I can whip up basically anything for the 9 of us adults with that.

Tomorrow for dinner we're having fried turkey and all the trimmings, and pie... which I still have to make to take to DH's aunt's!

[greycat]

Tonight (at MILs): borsch with mushroom filled pasta, pergis, fish, and baked shrimp scampi (I'm bringing the shrimp).

Tomorrow:
AM- chocolate croissants (from trader joes)

PM: antipasti (assorted meats, cheese, olives, roasted red peppers), lasagna, sausage (sweet & hot), meatballs, braciole, raviolis, and garlic bread. I'm making everything except the raviolis (had to buy because my parents didn't make them as planned). Cookies for dessert.

This is the recipe for the baked shrimp scampi - it's delicious: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/baked-shrimp-scampi-recipe.html

[niq]

We had some mind blowing French toast thing today. The recipe is from the NYT, i will post a link.

Not sure what the menu is at FILs tonight.

MIL always does a lobster brunch on Christmas. Well she stopped for a few years, but now that V is here msniq asked her to bring it back.

We're having goose for dinner tomorrow.

[DarcyLongfellow]

Tonight: Still to be decided. Historically, we host both sides of the family at our house and my parents pay for dinner (catered), usually from a local Italian place. But this year, almost everyone in the family is sick, so we're just doing our own thing. My parents are visiting, so they'll be with us. My mom just got back from the doctor because she looks like death warmed over (thankfully it's a sinus infection and not the flu or something) and DD2 has a fever, so we'll do something super easy for dinner. Maybe a prepared meal from Fresh Market (fancy grocery store), maybe a meal from one of those catering type places where it's pre-made and you pick it up.

The only definite is the "Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus" cake that DD1 insisted we buy :-) Oh, and cookies for Santa. I bought Pillsbury dough, so hopefully that will require very little effort, but will fulfill all of DD1's cookie-making-for-Santa fantasies.

Christmas Breakfast: Coffee cake (our family's tradition -- super yummy) and then I have bacon, turkey sausage, and eggs. Not sure if I'll cook all of those separately of if I'll make some sort of a casserole. DH sometimes likes to make omelets on Christmas morning, so we'll see what we feel like.

Christmas dinner (at my in laws): Standing rib roast, ham, and many assorted yummy sides, all of it made by my sweet MIL who refused to let me help since I have a houseful of sickies. She also offered to deliver it to our house if we're too sick to go over there.

[hermione]

Tonight: I have no idea.maybe pizza. It's just us unless we got to a friend's open house.

Tomorrow: ham, meatballs, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, random apps and other sides. We've eaten the same food on Christmas my whole life. My brothers would likely riot if I did something else.

[azurely]

Tonight, we're having baked ziti, salad, and garlic bread with the ILs.

Tomorrow morning, we're having breakfast casserole and cinnamon and orange rolls.

Tomorrow afternoon, we're having the traditional Christmas meal with ham. I'm not sure what sides though, my mom is making it all because she's awesome. The only thing I am making is cranberry fluff.

[cincodemayo]

Tonight is filet mignon with funeral potatoes, spinach salad and appetizers - we are hosting friends. I don't think we have dessert or wine, eek.

Tomorrow morning is PW french toast bake and bacon. Dinner will be whatever my mom makes, but we aren't technically celebrating tomorrow so it will be lower key.

We fly out to visit my ILs tomorrow afternoon, so we will be missing out on a big Christmas dinner. I am sure my MIL will make something yummy on the 26th when we are all together, though. I am pulling for beef tenderloin and/or crab cakes. She's a great cook.
