LOL, we DO eat this all day when we make it. It's addicting. It keeps very well for several days. I'd forgotten, I also add half the oregano.

too much food so if you bring a salad you probably don't need appetizers too.How about a fruit salad or a platter of grapes?

Unfortunately one of my SIL's brings the fruit salad. I could probably bring a regular salad but it would need to pre dressed it as there are too many people to give them dressing options. However, in the past one of the nieces tried a regular salad and that went over like a lead ballon with these people. Christmas is their time to splurge on calories.

I'm also mulling around something Italian, no one brings anything in that venue and the little ones seem to prefer to eat stuff they are familiar with. Unfortunately some of the adults are like that too. LOL, I could always bring mac & cheese, they like that too.

The last resort, will be telling the one "over achiever niece" who brings four foods, that I will relieve her of making the haluski. I like mine better anyway.
