Need imput re: our Family Christmas meal
Comments (9)Diane, sounds like another great family gathering! I remember when I first tried the yorkshire puddings for the frist time thanks to this forum. It was Ann, CindyNY, and Sharon that shared their recipes and tips. Cindy posted a pick of a big one in a 9 x 13 inch pan....I'm guessing you would just add enough drippings from the steak to coat the pan very well..1/8 of an inch??,,,heat it up in the oven and then add the batter....I remember it rising up along the sides of the pan and being somewhat less on the bottom....just like it should for the most part if you made individual ones. I would do this method for a big group....even it they have to wait for a second pan of them depending upon how many ovens you have. This salad is a T&T if you want to add another salad to your choices.. Posted by: Cindy_Mac (My Page) on Tue, Jul 15, 03 at 22:17 Sue, this is one of my favorite green bean salads. I've also been experimenting with pasta and black bean salads. Really liked the BB salad I made the other night. Plan on adding diced avocado next time. GREEN BEAN, PECAN, AND FETA SALAD 2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed 1 small purple onion, thinly sliced 2-3 ounces crumbled feta cheese 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic coarse salt and fresh ground pepper to taste CUT green beans into thirds, and arrange in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 5-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Immediately plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process; drain and pat dry. TOSS together green beans, onion, cheese, and pecans in a large bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour. WHISK together olive oil and next 5 ingredients; cover and chill 1 hour. POUR vinaigrette over green bean mixture, and chill 1 hour; toss just before serving. ~adapted from Southern Living magazine Like you, we always have a big group during the holidays...love it!

Comments (32)I have finally regained a little bit of function in my arms and hand so I am going to attempt to cook. I have so many people who like one thing or the other that I try to make a little variety in meat. Some don't eat Ham some don't eat Turkey. Sigh. I really don't care for either lol. So on New Years Day I have my perfect dinner for me which is Prime Rib, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Loaded Baked Potato. That has always been my reward to myself for making Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner. I finally get to eat what I enjoy. For Christmas I will attempt to make: Spiral Ham Turkey Sausage Stuffing Regular Stuffing for those who don't like sausage stuffing Butter and Onion Potatoes to go with Ham Mashed Potatoes and Gravy Roasted Asparagus Green Beans Baked Sweet Potatoes Rolls Pumpkin Pie Cranberry Apple Crisp I am going to start cooking what I can on Thursday and everyday until Christmas so I don't overwhelm myself. The last few years with the neurological issues I have had a hard time. I am having people over this year who don't have family to have dinner with and I want to make sure the kids have a nice family atmosphere to have dinner that they wouldn't normally get to experience. It amazes me that only 2 years ago I was doing all of Thanksgiving Dinner for 25 people, Christmas Eve party with full buffet for at least 50 people, cleaning up Christmas Eve night to do a full Christmas dinner for another 25 and then doing a full New Year's Eve party just a week after. After I got sick I just wasn't able to do it anymore and no one picked up and took over so it all just ended. To think about doing all of that now makes me want crawl under the covers and hide :)...See MoreHad my evening meal, now time to do dishes
Comments (32)On that cold, rainy, sleety and snowy Thursday I finished off my leftover pot roast. Last night was not memorable -- some leftover chicken with a veggie mix from the freezer. Today I made pumpkin jerk soup (chicken stock, chicken, a little smoked sausage, fresh pumpkin, kale, zucchini, mushrooms, carrot & seasoned with jerk seasoning). Very tasty and warming! Arkansas girl, that is how I broke ribs and a vertebra a couple of years ago. I didn't know there was ice under the snow, started to sweep the snow off the porch, and the next thing I knew I had flown off the porch and landed at the bottom of the cement steps. So glad you escaped with just bumps and bruises!...See MoreHow Many are Now Planning Their Christmas Menu?
Comments (45)I sometimes make Seafood Gumbo for Christmas eve. Regretfully, DSIL doesn’t care for shrimp and my gumbo is full of it. For him, I might make a small pot of Chicken and Sausage gumbo. Christmas Day is spent with my sister and her family, DD, DSIL, and the kiddos, about 12 of us at table. Frequently, we have Eggs Benedict, cheese grits, fruit, Bloody Marys and Mimosas for brunch. Our evening meal is often a whole tenderloin, potatoes au gratin, asparagus or something else green, and dessert. This year, I‘m going to suggest that the tenderloin be oven-roasted with a peppercorn crust. When DSIL and DSS grill it, it is often too rare for most of us. @functionthenlook if you aren’t already set on a recipe for your Ham and Potato Casserole look at Ham, Cheese, and Potato Casserole from Leite’s Culinaria. It is sooooo good! It is basically dressed up potatoes au gratin....See More
