| Ham, stuffing, rice pilaf, sweet potatoes and apples, green bean casserole, corn, rolls, and applesauce. Our Christmas is always small, but includes a few family members who don’t get home cooked food much, so Christmas is a mash up of “traditional” dinner and favorite foods. Dessert is a toss up. Sometimes just Christmas cookies, sometimes something like cheesecake. I and a few of the “kids” (now young adults) like to bake so we discuss and assess our energy level and go from there. One year we made a Yule log that was fun. |

standing rib roast
Yorkshire pudding mashed potatoes gravy roasted green beans sweet and sour braised red cabbage salad (every holiday we have a salad my grandmother always made with baby lettuce, red onion, pomegranate seeds, citrus which is usually grapefruit sections, blue cheese, and a vinaigrette) I don't know about dessert, but I've been eyeing that pretty cranberry curd tart thing from the NYT -- so pretty and festive |
This is pretty much my all time fave food. |
