Every
year I host Christmas Eve in my home for my in-laws. This year we are changing
things up and I will be hosting Christmas Day instead of Christmas Eve. Hosting
a big family holiday takes a lot of work. The hardest part for me is the menu
planning. I like to try and change things up a bit with some new recipes as
well as some tried and true family favorites. I thought since I was working so
hard on putting together a delicious Christmas Menu that you might like to see
what I am planning on serving for Christmas Dinner, just in case you are still
working on your menu too.
Since a
majority of the people attending the dinner are all about veggies and tend to take
it easy on the carbs I am trying for a healthier Christmas Dinner. And while I
love being healthy, I still want to enjoy my dinner and eat scrumptious food.
So over the next two weeks I will be perfecting some of my new recipes. Once
they have been tested, tweaked, and tasted – I will share them with you. Wish
me luck!
My
change of holiday plans does not actually change a whole lot for my family as
we no longer travel on Christmas day. We will attend a Christmas Eve service
and then we stay at home on Christmas Day and enjoy our family and our
traditions to the fullest. We will eat yummy food, watch the kiddos open gifts,
and enjoy each other’s company around a warm fire while giving thanks for our
blessings and listening to some holiday music.
If you
are looking for some delicious tried and true recipes to make I have some that
I have shared on Mom Mart over the past few years that are delicious and will
sure to be a hit. If you are in need of a tasty appetizer you can check out my Bruschetta
Recipe. If you are looking for an entrée that is not a turkey you can
always check out my Pork
Tenderloin with Pan Sauce Recipe. Some sure fire side dishes that my family
loves to eat over and over again are my Sweet
Italian Green Bean Recipe, My Cheesy
Mashed Cauliflower Recipe, and my Mushroom
and Asparagus Recipe. If some of my new ideas don’t pan out I may just be
coming back to some of these tried and true family favorites myself.
What
are your holiday plans?
Will
you be in the kitchen cooking up a storm? Will you be on the road or in the air
traveling to see family or friends?
