Prime rib with home made horse radish sauce. The Horse Radish is probably the BEST part of the entire meal. And some mashed taters and salad probably.0

How do you make the horseradish sauce? I love that stuff so much, but have never made it from scratch...

We always go out for Chinese food on Christmas Eve before our Christmas Eve church service. It's one thing I look forward to every year. The food is so good and there is so much!
Christmas morning we have a brunch that consists of an egg bake, (last year we had quiche) cinnamon rolls, biscuits and gravy, and fruit smoothies. This year my daughter has requested hash browns and I think we're going to either do waffles or lemon ricotta pancakes. Yum!
Not sure about Christmas dinner. We may just find some leftovers or a restaurant that's open. Either way, I'm not cooking.

Baked ham, macaroni and cheese casserole, roasted Brussels sprouts, Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls, and not sure about dessert yet. I'm going to make a separate mac and cheese for myself, using skim milk and low fat cheese. No one will notice since we dish up buffet style. I know I could have the regular dish, but I also know my own limits of self control. Homemade mac and cheese is one of my favorite high calorie foods. So, I just avoid them all together.0

Roast duck -- sounds absolutely heavenly!
We're doing:
Carrot ginger soup
Roast leg of lamb
French white beans (flageolets)
Green beans
Wild rice with sauteed mushrooms
Strawberry trifle
The meals on either side of this will be of the clear-broth-and-a-single-saltine variety.
Merry Christmas, everybody!0 -
Scandinavian rice porridge with butter, sugar and cinnamon for lunch
(An almond is slipped into the pot and whoever finds it gets a marzipan-pig)
Dinner is a huge pork rib cooked for several hours with lots of fat. I think an average christmasdinner portion is something like 1700 kcal.. xD

I'm in Australia too and it's hot. We're having a beach picnic with my sister. I'm taking roast chicken, creamy potato bake, Asian slaw and something I saw on Pinterest called cowboy crack, lol. Sis will be bringing lots of food to share, including a favourite savoury dish our great aunt made. I'll be drinking a nice NZ Sauvignon Blanc and hubs will guzzle (too much) beer.0

City Chicken (a receipe from my husband's Polish Grandmother), homemade potato salad, veggies (this year corn and brussel sprouts) rolls and a birthday cake.0

We've decided to have a roast duck this year, with roast veggies and crispy potatoes. I'm mostly looking forward to trying heston blumenthal pudding with custard.
Then we going to do it all again at both my relatives. The biggest danger is cheese and biscuits which will be on offer at my in-laws before lunch is served. So I've decided to take some veggie sticks and hummus along instead.
What's on your menu?
Everything.

Not going to be eating at home so no idea yet. Not that it really matters, I saved up enough calories to splurge all I want.0

Eating at the in-laws, traditional turkey roast. Chestnut stuffing, teeny pigs in blankets etc. but it's the roast potatoes I'm always most excited about.
I've made potted shrimp for starters and a trifle big enough to bathe in for afters. It's the third trifle I've made this week though. Today I used 900ml of cream and 12 egg yolks for the custard - it's not terrible gluttony as there will be a lot of people eating, but damn, that's a lot of custard Nigella.0 -
Yum I wish we were having trifle and Yorkshire puddings. They're my favourite.0
-
Boeuf bourguignon, noodle, spinach and cranberry upside down cake!0
-
liverwurst, rye bread, and a nicely made senf.0
-
Creamy tomato soup, using homegrown tomatoes and almond milk and homemade bread to start.
Vegan nut roast, traditional roast vegetables straight off our veg plot, vegan sosmix and stuffing with vegetable gravy.
- and for dessert, Summer fruits pudding with fruits gathered this summer from fields and garden with soya yogurt or almond milk based custard.
- well fed and not one animal dead.
- Merry Christmas everyone.0 -
There's only three of us this year, so it will be small. We're having roast prime rib, steamed sweet potatoes, cauliflower roasted with olive oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper, and a green salad with avocado and oranges. Dessert is pecan pie and whipped cream.0
