No dinner here tonight (Christmas Eve) we had lunch out with family- which is a tradition with us. So we were pretty much set for the day. I had a bruschetta appetizer (only 1 piece though) and French Onion Soup for an entree.

Well I'm up early getting ready. While my hair does a little air-drying I thought I would say hello to my WFD friends We have to be at my mom's for breakfast at 8. We are having a big lunch with the rest of the family, too Hope you guys have a great day. I don't expect everyone to post every little thing they are having for dinner tonight ETA: here is the link to the awesome meatloaf I made the other day. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_24770,00.html?rsrc=search

ETA: I did a few things different to the meatloaf.
- I never measure out onions and peppers by cups. I just use small ones. I saute them until tender, let them cool, and then add them to the meatloaf mix.

- I didn't use the tomatoes in Paula's recipe. I used a good 4 tablespoons of ketchup instead. I hate pieces of tomato.

- I know the sauce that you put on top sounds nasty, but it totally rocks. I am going to try it on some chicken.

- I made it 2 lbs. instead of one, and I used a lb. of ground beef and a lb. of ground pork. Mmmmmmmmmm boy!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We just got back from the world last night so I am catching up on everybody's previous weeks meals. I cant wait to try the chicken stew! I think that will be tomorrow.

We will go to DD's boyfriends house for dinner tonight so no cooking for me. This has become a Christmas tradition and I love it! I am making Christmas brunch here now though. Just cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs with bacon and sausage.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Catching up: Christmas Eve we went to DH's aunts house--she had ordered Chinese food. Blech, I hate Chinese food. Luckily though, we had gone to my inlaws first so I just ate a lot of my MIL's awesome guacamole.

Christmas dinner: Lobster, shrimp and king crab in a thermidor sauce, twice baked potatoes, spinach-parmesean gratin, and sugar snap peas. There was pecan pie for dessert but we were all too full to eat it.

Tonight: Roast beef with gravy (not for me though!), the crushed potatoes I posted the recipe for here a while back, sauteed mushrooms, butternut squash roasted in honey, and green beans with almonds.

I was hoping to do creamy chicken stew but I have a cold and no energy to go to the store so I pulled out a lasagna from the freezer.

My mom and I are both off today so we are going shopping. I need a quick and easy meal, but a yummy one, so I am making the spaghetti and meatball stoup with Parmesan garlic bread sticks. One of my husband's Top 5 faves

We're still working on leftovers! Yesterday was leftover lobster, shrimp, mussells, crab, etc. etc. and today we're working on leftover mushroom soup, salads and ham, roast beef, etc. - probably making it into sandwiches, with soup and salads.
