Christmas Day Menu?

I feel like I ask this every year...haha

Dinner is just 8 adults & my 2.5 year old DD (who will only eat pasta, so she doesn't count)

Menu is:

Antipasto (cheese, sausage, olives, etc)
Roasted Shrimp Cocktail

Stuffed Rigatoni
Chicken Parm
Eggplant Parm (for my vegetarian sister)

Salad
Stuffed Mushrooms


I'd like to make like 2 more veggie side dishes.


Ideas, please?

TIA!

Christmas Day Menu?

Since your menu is on the Italian side with heavy sauces and breaded items I would do any vegetables tossed in light olive oil and garlic like broccoli or string beans.

What about stuffed artichokes?

Re: Christmas Day Menu?

Maybe roasted red potatoes and broccoli tossed in garlic and oil?

Another option for broccoli is grilling it with garlic and anchovies (not the actual anchovie, but the drippings from the can). I'm not an anchovie lover at all, but this gives the brocolli a slightly salty flavor (not fishy AT ALL). It's phenomenal.
