Homemade Cinnamon Rolls.
A pretty traditional dinner of Ham, Jello salad, deviled eggs, potatoes sweet and/or white), veggies and relish tray.

Sometimes it's turkey and this year I may make Prime Rib on Christmas Day since we'll have the Ham on Christmas Eve.

Mostly it's the company..........

Teresa's wild rice recipe? Please! For Christmas dinner.
Q
Comments (3)
Bellsmom I think the wild rice will be fantastic with the goose. Here is one of Teresa recipes that I followed: Heat oven to 350 degrees. You will need a covered casserole or pot (a 2 quart size is good). I use a glass casserole. Place in casserole: 1 cup raw rice (rinse thoroughly first) 2.5 cups of boiling water or stock Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Test rice for doneness. Cook another 15 minutes if you want more tender. Use excess water in wild rice soup. Note: I cook the rice in water for 30 minutes and it was perfect like that. When serving I added fresh sauteed mushrooms to put on top. Everyone liked it. I love the smell of the freshly cooked wild rice. Silvia

I've never had any particular traditional breakfast for Christmas - it varies. It seems to me that 2 year olds still eat pretty much anything, they haven't gotten too picky yet :) This is easy and festive and good, I'd serve it with bacon. APPLE PUFFED PANCAKE 6 eggs 1-1/2 cups milk 1 cup flour 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 lb. butter 2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced 3 tablespoons brown sugar Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In blender (or large bowl) mix eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon until blended. (If using a mixer, batter will remain slightly lumpy.) Melt butter in a 12 inch quiche dish or a 13 x 9 glass dish in the oven. Add the apple slices to the dish and return to the oven until the butter sizzles. Do not let brown. Remove the dish from the oven and immediately pour the batter over the apples. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in the middle of the oven 20 minutes or until puffed and brown. Serve immediately. 6-8 servings. From Marlene SoroskyÂs Cookery for Entertaining

While everyone is celebrating Christmas, I'll be hosting 2 Channukah dinners Sunday and Monday and getting our Weber fired up. Sunday is for one of my childhood friends and her family. Grandkids and Daughters coming on Monday. Looking forward to all the kids lighting the Menorah and reciting the prayers for the lighting. Here is my Sunday Menu: First, Pomegrante Cosmopolitans, wine and beer along with Eggplant Caviar. I always go light on appetizers. Salmon on a cedar plank grilled with a dressing of apricot preserves and horseradish Baked Chicken with mustard and capers sauce Potato Latkes with homemade applesauce and sour cream sides Roasted carrots More wine Dessert will be: Homemade Lemon Yogurt Pound Cake (Barefoot Contessa and easy) Brownies My guest is bringing a desseert made from a recipe handed down from her Grandmother (who came from England). More wine and coffee. I love when Channukah falls on the same time of Xmas. I usually just host dinner on Xmas Day regardless. It's become a tradition in our home.

A few years ago I made a ”Buttery Breakfast Casserole” from a New York Times recipe. It comsisted of about seven or eight split and toasted croissants chopped roughly and combined with about a half pound of sweet italian sausage that had been browned with scallions. That was placed in the bottom of a 9 x 13” pan. Then a mixture of beaten egg, whole milk and heavy cream and a little over a cup of shredded cheese is poured over the croissant sausage mixture. Bake at 350 for 25 min, then add a quarter cup more shredded cheese to the top and continue baking 20 more minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven. This recipe was the best ”strata” / bread pudding type recipe I have had. That said, it was nothing to write home about, and I agree with Arcy that most of these dishes taste very much the same. I prefer to cook a big pot of oatmeal and serve buffet style with different fruits (both fresh and cooked, like sauteed cinnamon apples) and sugars/ syrups. Alternatively, you can set out scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, cheeses and toasted English muffins for an assemble-your-own breakfast sandwich. I used to make a baked apple french toast every year for Christmas morning but none of us needs or wants anything that rich now.

Same Christmas dinner every year: Baked Glazed Ham, Brandied Candied Yam Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Broccoli, Dad's Baked Beans (I just posted this recipe for Linda under Your Favorite Crockpot Recipes), and Waldorf Jello Salad and Hoska. I started making this for Christmas dinner 17 years ago. Before that this menu was the New Years Day dinner menu. Back then we did fried fish, Kasha casserole, assorted veggies, mashed potatoes, and Hoska for Christmas dinner at my Aunt's house.

Our Christmas breakfast is probably very unusual but I've had it for as long as I can remember. It's actually the holiday meal I look forward to the most!

It actually starts with Christmas Eve dinner, which is Norwegian meatballs (made by my grandmother, none of us have ever made them as well as she did) and lefse and side dishes. Christmas breakfast then is always warmed-up leftover meatballs on toast (with lots of gravy), leftover mashed potatoes for those that wish, lefse, and orange juice. Strange, huh?

And for those that are wondering, Norwegian meatballs are very similar to Swedish meatballs, but don't let anyone of Norwegian descent hear you say so!

Um, I have to clarify. My grandmother no longer makes our meatballs, as she passed away long ago. I meant to say that growing up it was my grandmother's cooking on Christmas Eve and that since then, none of the family has been able to make the meatballs as well. Of course, it may be that our taste buds are clouded by our memories.

Christmas morning- overnight sausage breakfast casserole, hashbrowns- the shredded kind, bacon, english muffins with homemade jam- this year it will be my freezer jam thanks to peeps here, oj and coffee, lots of coffee.
Christmas dinner is still not decided it is one meal that is changeable year to year( unlike Thanksgiving, which is carved in stone)
Christmas Eves past at the request of DS when he was about 4 - was always a delly tray with all the fixins eaten picnic style in front of the fire. Maybe fondue this year as DD is 19 and DS is 24 and maybe time for a little change.
Christmas cookies for sure. Sue

We usually have Creme Brulee French Toast for breakfast (among other things), I make it the night before so all I have to do is pop it in the oven. My husband will make eggs and bacon or sausage. And lots and lots of coffee:)
For Christmas dinner it's just us and the kids (we have all our reletives over on Christmas Eve). After church we veg out. I make prime rib, mashed potatoes, spinach and string beans. It's funny to see, we are all in sweats eating such a formal meal, but it's so nice and relaxing.

It's just food, food, food all day! For breakfast, we always have an egg and sausage casserole, a jazzed up hashbrown casserole, ham biscuits and garlic cheese grits (with jalapenos -- Yum!) Fruit will be something very simple like cantaloupe wedges or fresh pineapple. I may or may not get around to making muffins or French toast fingers since sweets aren't a high priority with my crew, particularly early in the day.

As some leave to go to 'the other' family's house, and others wander in for the first time, we sort of gradually segue into the brunch phase. I'll add their favorite Cajun crab spread with toasted garlic rounds and a dip or two to the buffet. Once the biscuits are gone, we'll bake some rolls for the ham. I make a super-spicy mustard sauce that my children adore and an herb-flavored mayonnaise so everybody can put together mini-sandwiches. There's always some sort of seafood -- usually poached shrimp with cocktail sauce since it's so easy to do ahead -- and a couple of salads (broccoli and pasta are the faves). Oh, and Bloody Marys to help the cook forget how bad her feet are hurting at this point...

By the time everybody who had to leave has returned and we've all worked up a little bit of an appetite again, it's usually 7:30 or so. Our dinner menu varies a little, but this year we'll have Boston Clam Chowder as a starter. (Gift from a dear friend who feels sooo sorry for her poor, deprived Southern pal who didn't grow up eating this. lol) Spinach salad with poppy seed dressing. Beef tenderloin, if I can afford it. If many extras are going to turn up, it will be prime rib instead. A green vegetable TBD, and a potato gratin. Dessert will be Italian cheesecake with a strawberry/Grand Marnier topping -- not that anybody will have room for it, but you have to have one, right?

Christmas breakfast = Christmas cookies. When we're at my MIL's house, she makes eggs. My family always just did cookies and maybe toast or something.

My favorite Christmas dinner is prime rib and scalloped potatoes with goat cheese. Salad and asparagus go well with it, as well as some crusty bread.

Christmas is my sister's birthday and we always have a big brunch to celebrate her. Eggs, bacon, sausage with milk gravy, biscuits, hash brown casserole, grits, and cinnamon rolls with green/red sprinkles on top. When my grandfather was alive we also had country ham. Maybe we'll do that again this year.

Dinner is usually low key since we have to travel to her party. I'm thinking having the turkey, dressing, etc. Mom didn't have at Thanksgiving. She'd just had major back surgery (had to go where she was taken) and went to my sister's inlaws who only had ham.
