Mine will be lamb chops in the crock-pot w/ onion , celery , bell peppers, and a few small red taters....veggie broth for liquid, and seasoned the way i like.

My desert later will be over ice....:eek:

Oh, that sounds oh so good! Food from the crock pot is always so tender! And what will that be over ice? :)
 

Does anyone else have some Real Christmas meals and beverages they are going to have to get back to the topic?
 
What's the matter with you Ruthanne...I really am going to have bread and jam....I'll be having other things... but I'll be having bread and jam on Christmas day as well... as I do every day...
 
It's my turn to have dinner with youngest son and family this year. His partner's sister is doing the cooking and having been there a couple of years back I can expect an excellent meal. Going by last time there will probably be a seafood starter of some kind, followed by a choice of turkey and beef, roast potatoes, loads of different veg, pickled red cabbage and other bits and pieces. Definitely be a trifle for dessert and probably Christmas pudding and so on. She really does put on a good spread. My son is vegan so he makes his own meal and his own desserts.

Edited to say that I don't drink alcohol throughout the year but may have a glass or two of wine on Christmas Day.

Wow, sounds delightful and delicious Pam! Enjoy your holiday! :)
 
My dinner for Christmas is beef stroganoff with green beans, scalloped potatoes and rum cake for dessert. We like to have something different from the usual Christmas dinner we have with relatives when invited to their homes. It will just be the two of us this year.

When my kids were still at home (and my first wife was still living) we typically had Ham for Christmas, with scalloped/au gratin potatoes, etc. That was a long time ago, but I still miss those days. These days, it can be anything. Last year, on the Big Island, I think I had a frozen pizza....

It will just be my husband and I. I am making Cornish Game hens. Probably a salad. Not sure what else. For drinks, maybe soda.

Oooh, beef stroganoff is to die for! I'd like to have that, too. I hope the 2 of you enjoy your Christmas.

I love scalloped potatoes. Yes, I miss the old days a way back. I have lots of memories and it makes me kind of sad...That pizza sounded like it was good, no?
 
We'll be having things like, spinach, cod liver oil, salmon, blueberries, oatmeal, flaxseed, almond milk, bananas, thai rice, lentils, blackbeans and plenty of high Ph water - close to the ratio of 50% carbs, 35% fat, 15% protein. :D
Dessert? What is dessert? :cool:
 
Great idea RR. Let me write that down. :D

Actually I had a juicy grapefruit today, but good reminder to eat more fruits.

I have added to my menu. Going to make deviled eggs (of course) and I also found a recipe for apple turnovers that I want to try.

Yummy Marie! I love both of those, I love food in general! lol
 
We had Prime Rib for the first time 4 years ago and we all agreed that will be our Christmas meat for all of the future Christmas dinners. It is so, so good.

For Christmas Eve, we are doing simple Italian: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Salad, and Garlic Bread. No dessert.

One of my granddaughters has also decided she want to prepare a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning. I think we will be stuffed for days. And then New Year's will rear it's head.
