Last year I made a roast pork.

This year I think I'm making an antipasto and lasagna and of course apps and desserts.

It is only DH,DS, my parents and my inlaws (who are vegetarian and not big eaters) so I am going easy. We are having a 2nd Christmas dinner the next day at my parents with my brother & his gf (ham, and all the trimmings) so....

Antipasto platter consisting of:
olives, marinated artichoke hearts, grilled vegetables (eggplant, asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash), ricotta salata, fresh mozzerella, roasted red peppers, maybe genoa salami slices

Pot of sauce, meatballs & braciole or sausage

baked stuffed shells

Assorted desserts, coffee
