I don't know if I'm going to make a chicken dish - or a roast beef -- and I need more sides!

Re: Can you post your Christmas Menus please
I think for dinner sides you need something to go with a chicken dish if you make one ( or Beef)...like a casserole?
A green bean casserole? Or Cauliflower?
I love cauliflower or broccoli cheesy ones 
Depends really on what chicken or beef you do?
What about making a turkey breast? Easy and simple?
And what about a salad to go with the pasta?

Re: Can you post your Christmas Menus please
My MIL is making string bean casserole. I forgot to add that.
I'm not a big salad person - and my family never really does them when we have the big meals. Last yr. though I did make fresh mozz salad and tomato.

For desert I'm making a rum cake and bought pinnoli cookies.
