    Christmas Eve dinner is slow cooker venison, pork and ham, homemade mac and cheese, green bean casserole, glazed carrots, deviled eggs, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, cherry cobbler, and cookies.
    Christmas day: Breakfast casserole then make your own pizzas! Keeping it simple!
    Merry Christmas!

    Christmas Eve dinner will include 2 different types of chili and beans, a big mixed greens salad, fruit tray, and cornbread muffins. Desserts to be chosen from oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, milk chocolate brownies, pumpkin pie, Rice Crispy treats, and homemade fudge. Yum! Best part, the food will be shared with extended family and friends.

    Simply Salmon!! I wanted a dinner this year that will not break the calorie bank, yet will be something totally satisfying and special. (something I do not eat that often). Shrimp and Salmon are my absolute favorite!! I will simply be making a yummy batch of salmon with lemon baked on top. That's enough to flavor it for me! As a side, I will probably get a little fancy and do asparagus or a tomato/mozzarella caprese salad. All of these options are still very healthy! I do not use any oil when I cook... if I need to I use fat free Italian dressing to cook with.

    I got the reverse of a Christmas bonus...the company paid us early, but shorted me almost 14 hours...so no shopping for Christmas dinner. Instead I shopped out of the freezer. I am throwing together a Hot Italian Sausage-Spaghetti Squash bake, with some ricotta, mozz, and parmesan cheese. Tomato gravy with LOTS of garlic, onion and mushrooms. YUM!

    We're having some snacks in the morning (sweet bread and/or cheese and/or smoked salmon and/or wine and/or coffee and/or tea), but dinner is "normal". I mean, what we would eat on a regular day. There is some chocolate mousse for dessert, though.

    A repeat of Thanksgiving dinner with all the traditional foods: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pie, etc.
    I'm looking forward to the day when I can start some of my own traditions, including being more innovative with the menu.

    Christmas Eve was beef estouffade with barley pilaf and grilled asparagus.

    Christmas lunch logs in at 1014 cals before wine. Nam Prik Ong with raw veg (google it) followed by more traditional fare. Roast chicken with bread stuffing with bacon and raisins. Cranberry sauce and roast brussel sprouts. Clafoutis with whipped cream for dessert. A guest is bringing Spanish charcuterie and cheeses which I haven't logged yet.

    Family. You, sir, are doing it right.

    We have a Christmas tradition: candy for breakfast. Dinner will be whatever my MIL prepares, and it'll be great because I didn't have to make it. :happy:
