    Yes, I'm cooking for 15. We will be having a traditional PuertoRican Christmas eve dinner.

    1. Rice and pigeon peas (arroz con gandules),
    2. Pasteles (like tamales but not really),
    3. green bananas,
    4. roasted pork (pernil),
    5. flan (like egg custard),
    6. arroz con dulce (like rice pudding but it has the consistency of bread pudding),
    7. alcapurrias (no description available but I know they are very, very bad),
    8. sorrullitos (made out of cornmeal)
    9. Homemade, 100% PuertoRican cake
    10. Pan sobao (sweet bread)
    11. Salad and veggies
    12. Ham, topped with pineapple, cherries, and brown sugar.
    I know... but Christmas is not the same without the traditional tastes. The key will be to pick what I want the most and just have a very small amount of it.

    It's Christmas dinner, why would I want to ruin it by making it low-calorie? That's not what baby Jesus would have done

    haha..love it!!! :bigsmile:
