[quote=Anonymous]Here's a thought: carbonara. It's super junky amazingly decadent (cream and bacon!) but not expensive to make. It might feel festive and affordable... you could do it with frozen green peas and those little cocktail onions in it, for a "fancy" veggie side or you could buy frozen carrots and serve with fancy butter (like fresh dill and butter or lemon zest and butter.) A lot of what makes food festive it its presentation--think colorful touches. I would not do beef stew because it's actually fairly expensive (beef being fairly pricey) to make and usually doesn't seem as expensive a dish (in presentation) as it actually cost at the checkout line. However, you could see if you can find a good price on the beef and then maybe it would work out OK. That's just my two cents. (And believe me I'm one of those people who still believe 2 pennies is worth saving!)[/quote]
