[quote=Anonymous]I'd think about mains that you can have in the freezer. Lasagna would work well. Or you could get something like a beef tenderloin, wrap it well and freeze it, then transfer it to the fridge when you get home Christmas Eve. It'll thaw overnight. Sides that will keep well for a week - starches are easy, potatoes, pasta, rice. Some sturdy vegetables will last a week in the fridge, like brussel sprouts (roast with balsamic vinegar and garlic) or carrots (make maple-glazed carrots). Sweet potatoes or squash will last a week in a cool dark cupboard. A whole head of romaine lettuce should be ok, although you may need to discard the outer layers, so get a bigger head then you'll need. Carrots, celery, and bell peppers for a salad. For appetizers, you could make squash soup and freeze it. Most cheeses and some cured meats will be fine for a week. Celery and carrot sticks. Add some crackers. [/quote]
