What's Your Christmas Dinner?

I made a roast pork loin with crackle, slow cooked beef pot roast with gravy, cheesy scalloped potatoes, mixed roast veggies and a mango, avocado and prawn salad (I'm in Australia) for the main meal. For desert we had a rich chocolate mud cake and ice cream !

Meh, I might do a veggie pizza or I might do scalloped potatoes, steamed veggies, and ham. It's just the man and me, and he has to work.

I know the feeling exactly, my hubby worked also (12 hours), so I was here alone. Made him some burgers when he got home, and I had a little stouffer's lasagna. I might have eaten a burger( usually I have veggie burgers because the cals are lower) but i didnt want to weigh the ground beef I used for his, and didnt feel like using a separate pan for veggie burgers. Made some veggies to go with, planned to eat the whole container, but couldnt eat as much as I thought! Ended up under target.

My family had ham, fried oysters, stuffing, green beans, rolls, mashed potatoes, some kind of macaroni dish, apple pie, fruitcake, pecan pie, and apple cake.

I, on the other hand, was having a bout of digestive issues, so I just sipped on a combination of kombucha, herbal tea, and bone broth before coming home and eating some soft veggies and bananas.

We had a spiral ham, mashed potatoes made with an obscene amount of butter and creamed spinach.

Stuffed shells and salad

That's what I had for Thanksgiving this year! It was a spur of the moment decision. I actually hadn't had any since my mom passed away (she would make that as one of the dishes for most holiday meals). It came out really good! I'd forgotten how tasty it is.

For Christmas, I made shrimp scampi. For appetizers we had cheese,olives, and beer. Dessert was homemade pumpkin pie & cookies, and store bought babka. There wasn't really any coherent culinary theme to the day.

@janicelo1971 That pie looks delicious!

We do Christmas brunch. I made a freaking delicious lemon blueberry cream cheese coffee cake.
