Re: What is your Christmas Day Menu???
I am having the hardest time deciding this year's menu. there are only a few of us and I will be 8.5 months pregnant so I am trying to keep it simple - which i am sure won't happen!
Originally I was going to do pasta and meatballs as the main course, but we have a turkey frozen and i am thinking maybe i should use it now so i can make room in the freezer.
here is the menu as of now:
antipasti - fresh mozz, roasted peppers, salami, prosciutto
homemade bread
meatballs
not sure what else yet
turkey
stuffing
mashed potatoes
veggie of some sort
mac and cheese or some other pasta dish
chicken cutlets (for me since i dont like turkey)
chocolate ice box cake
gingerbread cake
assortment of cookies
