What Is Everyone Making For Christmas Dinner?

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Wed, 23 Dec 2020 16:01:18 GMT

It will be just DD and I. I asked her for her thoughts about food for Friday and she asked me what I wanted. We just looked at each other and shrugged. lol We do that a lot.

We settled on chicken and biscuits. Easy and good. My oven is wonky so we bake biscuits in the Ninja.

What is everyone making? I always get a lot of ideas from you ladies.

I splurged and bought the beef tenderloin roast from HSN, the Chef Curtis Stone brand. We are making baked potatoes and fresh green beens. I keep it simple. Bought a frozen pumpkin pie. Forgot the rolls but I don't eat them anyway. There will only be 3 but at least we have our health. Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year.

Ham because I can make many things from the leftovers. And can always freeze some for later.

The Turkey Lean Cuisine I didn't eat on Thanksgiving because I had leftovers instead. My brother usually hosts 30 people but none of us are getting together this year. We are planning a 1/2 way to Christmas party in June.

It will just be me, but I'm making Chicken Piccata, over brown Jasmine rice, with a Caesar salad. Of course this calls for a nice glass of red, too.

No desserts, this celebration. I managed to eat an entire pumpkin pie over the last week. I'm cleaning up my act -- STAT.

@CrazyKittyLvr2

Thank Goodness for the Ninja. I sing it's praises everytime I have a chance.
I am having the Corkys ham and St. Claire sides. We had the turkey for Thanksgiving and the ham the following day. It was excellent.
Enjoy your meal and Merry Christmas!

We're getting our "Christmas" dinner tonight from a local restaurant because temps are expected to plummet tomorrow and Friday. For Christmas itself probably Trader Joe's paella.

We always celebrade with son and his family so I picked up a tenderloin to bring to their house. Unfortunately, dear daughter in law tested positive yesterday so I guess I will slice a couple of filets off and my husband and I will grill those with a baked potato and salad.

Things are definately fluid.

Since moving to California 20 years ago, we've been ordering Indian food from a local restaurant on Christmas Day. We haven't ordered anything from a restaurant since the pandemic started, but I'm going to take a walk on the wild side this week and follow our tradition. DH always wants me to cook, but this is the one day a year I insist on treating myself and I'm not about to give that up.

@kaydee50 I love Paella. I didn't know Trader Joe's carried it. What department is it in.....frozen foods? TIA

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal so much, we are going to repeat it. I think the leftovers from Thanksgiving lasted barely 2 days.

I can not wait. It was so good.

It's in a bag where the fish are, I think. It's enough for 2 people with a signficant amount of different types of fish in it along with rice. Makes a meal for us.

@BlueFinch I haven't made chicken piccata in awhile. I might see if DD would prefer that.

Thanks for jogging my memory.

Prime rib roast with St. Clair sides ... easy peasy.

I’m having surgery on Monday so DH and I will be home alone for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We don’t eat huge meals anymore. I’m making a turkey breast, mashed cauliflower, and a green vegetable. Then a keto carrot cake cupcake for dessert.

It will only be two of us, but making a ham, au gratin potatoes and whatever fresh vegetable I pick up today along with a fresh fruit salad and pumpkin pie.

Going to cut the ham in half and drop some off to my parents today since we are not getting together, but want them to have some ham to cook for their Christmas dinner.
