Does Christmas Eve count?

If so, I do an Italian Christmas Eve fish/seafood dinner. This year I'll be serving:
lobster ravioli
shrimp cocktail
scallops
salmon
tilapia
tuna
crab legs

and as support, there will also be:
green beans
spaghetti aglio e olio
salad with raspberries, glazed walnuts and creamy goat cheese

I'm still trying to figure out if I need (or if it's worth the hassle) to make another vegetable dish. I tend to err on the side of having way too much food rather than end up with not enough.

 

[2Poodles]

Lasagna
Salad
Garlic Bread

Please explain "adult" mac n cheese?

Please explain "adult" mac n cheese?

I think they just mean homemade vs. Kraft. But, I have to admit, I had some pretty funny thoughts (provocatively shaped noodles? )

No idea what ours will be this year but I am leaning towards orange glazed pot roast, green beans, mashed potato, rolls and a salad. One of the first years I was married my mom and I decided we were sick of "tradition" and she served vegetarian lasagne. I thought DH was going to die, "You can't have LASAGNE for Christmas....OMG!! Is that an OLIVE in there?" LOL LOL

1. Christmas Eve is our traditional tortellini soup/salad/bread. We always have left over soup that we can heat up for a quick and yummy lunch on Christmas Day. This year, for the first time ever, I am going to cook the soup as usual, and then transfer it to the crockpot so we will eat after church. I hope it'll turn out OK.

2. Christmas dinner is basically a Thanksgiving II.

Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, corn, cranberry sauce, rolls. Dessert = cookies

3. When we do Christmas dinner with my parents the week after Christmas, I'm making my spaghetti sauce in the crockpot so all I'll have to do when they are here is boil pasta, assemble salads, and slice bread. Dessert = cookies and orange cranberry cake.

We're having Christmas Eve dinner at my parents house and we'll be having chicken cutlet and potato pancakes (my favourite!). We're having Christmas dinner at my boyfriend's family's house and his mom is making a ham and probably some standard sides like mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.

Someday I want to do a Christmas dinner with all Italian foods... baked ziti, chicken parm, garlic bread, minestrone soup, meatballs, etc.

 

[ChiCat]

Turkey (from a recipe on allrecipes)
cheesy potatoes (a recipe from my exboyfriends mother)
stuffing
crescent rolls
and an apple pie made by Feed I'm picking it up Friday

My dh is a picky eater so it's usually just a meat and potatoes kind of meal.
