We are celebrating Christmas tomorrow with family...I'm not sure what I should make for dinner tonight? I guess I should class it up a notch and cook something special!
What are you eating tonight?
-
Well we are having Cheistmas with DHs family tonight and I'm making pulled pork as the main meal. Ill have some sides, appetizers and desserts too.
-
I'm Italian, so growing up, we always did a big Christmas Eve fish dinner. Since most of the girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives weren't Italian, they and their SOs from my family would do Christmas at their family's house, so Christmas was just a traditional ham and other stuff for the smaller family group. So that's what I still do today - either my dad and stepmom (only family in town) come over and I cook all the fishes, or like today when I'm 8.5 months pregnant and refusing to cook seafood all day, we go over to their place. Then Christmas is just for DH and I.
-
DH is making beef stroganoff and salad. Then we're going to church. After church we'll go back to DH's parents, along with DH's sisters and their children, for hot hors d'oeuvres, a cold seafood plate and champagne (for everyone who isn't pregnant).
-
We are ordering pizza. I have company and have been cooking for two days straight and tomorrow will be another big day of cooking so we are taking it easy tonight.
-
Gonna make some Korean food for dinner

-
Christmas tradition for Jews: go out for Chinese food! (It's usually all that's open.) It's also kind of a treat for my hubby, because I don't usually get excited for Chinese, but...it's tradition!
-
Leftovers from Christmas dinner with my folks this past Saturday: roasted pork loin, butternut squash risotto, brown sugar lima beans.
-
We have about 40 family members at my parents house. We do heavy appetizers for dinner. Everyone brings one or two. So much food and oh so good!
-

Not sure about dinner. But we're going out for brunch before church! I'm so excited for sweet cream blueberry pancakes, lol. I think I'm going to make it a tradition
-
Won ton soup this year
-
@prettylizy: Yes!!!
@Mrs. Jacks: That sounds so good!
-
We host Christmas eve dinner every year. This year we have 7 guests and DH is cooking. He is doing bruschetta to start, then pan fried duck breasts with baby roasted potatoes and bacony cabbage for main, then I have made a chocolate torte for dessert.
-
We're celebrating Christmas Eve with my fam, and Christmas Day Dinner with my in-laws... so I'm bringing Korean braised short ribs and homemade pumpkin pie - have no idea what else will be there tonight but I'm sure it'll be a feast!
-
Mr SH is of Norwgian descent so we're having rice pudding and lefsa (like crepes made with mashed potatoes)
-
We always have hot pot (shabu shabu) on Xmas eve. Its become a tradition in my family.
-
My husband is grilling steak and shrimp. I'm in charge of potatoes and vegetables. I can't wait!
-
Dinner with friends. We are bringing the bbq turkey (because our tradition in SoCal is to bbq over the winter break because we can), sweet potatoes, green beans and carrots. Our friends are making mashed potatoes, pies (pumpkin and apple), and gluten free rolls.
It's kind a hard to make food for everyone as we have milk allergy, soy allergy, pork allergy, gluten allergy and peanut allergy.
-
We are going out for a nice Italian dinner, but a beef tenderloin would be fabulous!
-
We're having tacos tonight, nothing special. Going to my mom's house tomorrow for Christmas dinner.
-
DH wants grilled cheese, fries and tomato soup...
-
last night we had a big get-together with family and we had smoked turkey, a ham, wild rice salad, sweet potatoes, regular mashed potatoes, and for dessert cookies, rum cake, and trifle. Tonight it is just my parents, DH and I so we are doing a crock pot meal. Tomorrow we will have brunch (quiche, fruit salad, latkes) and then go over to my cousin's house for christmas dinner.
-
@ladyfingers: my family does shrimp scampi every year. I've only not had fish/seafood once on Christmas Eve and it was kinda weird!
-
Christmas Eve is a big extended family dinner/party w/DHs family. This year my parents and brother were even invited. Typical holiday main dishes & potluck style. I'm brining Butternut Squash Penne Pasta w/Goat Cheese, Basil, and Walnuts. Christmas Day dinner is probably w/the IL's though we haven't confirmed anything yet.
-
Since we had no plans, we ended up eating waffles with blueberry sauce and hashbrowns for dinner. We're still hungry though, so we're headed out the door now for a carry-out pizza.
