Holiday Dinner Menu Thread!

Thought it might be a good idea for everyone to post what they are having for their holiday dinner so that others could get ideas.

We're hosting, so my thoughts are this:

Snacks/Appetizers:
nuts
cheese and crackers
olive loaf and hummus/babaganouj


Soup and Salad:
Vegetable soup with pastina
Mixed Greens with tomatoes, cuc's, red onion, avocado

Mashed potatoes
String Beans
Corn
Spinach Pie
Baked Ziti or Lasagna
Turkey or Roast Chicken


Pumpkin Pie
Cheesecake
Banana Muffins

Assorted Teas
Coffee
