Re: Please post your christmas eve menu
We alll bring something for Christmas Eve, so it's a little mismatched buffet
Apps: Baked Brie Dip & Crackers Spinach in Phylo Dough Olives & Cheeses
Dinner:
Pastas: Tortelinni Alfredo Baked Ziti with accompanied meats (meatballs, sausage, braciole) Linguini with Clams & Mussels in a white wine Sauce
Meats/Fishes: Ham Turkey Cod Fish in a Tomato Caper Sauce Stuffed Calamari Stuffed Shrimp Cold Fish Salad (octopus, scungili, shrimp, calamari, etc...) Chicken Dish (usually some sort of chicken with spinach in a cream sauce or something like that)
Sides: String Beans and Potatoes Pinapple Junk (don't ask, it's a family recipe made with crushed pineapples). You eat it with the ham Grilled Brussel Sprouts Green Salad
