Christmas menus?
If you entertain or help entertain for Christmas eve/Christmas day, have you thought about your menus for dinners, brunches/breakfast, appetizers?Im just trying to compile some ideas 
Re: Christmas menus?
Hi- I saw your post on Entertainment but I LOVE holiday festivities and the only cooking I really do is for holiday feasting so I'd be happy to share.
My family does C-mas brunch. I always bring the bagels, cream cheese and lox and stuff to make mimosas, my sister makes a scramble of some sort and my other sister makes hotcakes, bacon, and sausage. My dad and bro just bring breakfast cereals- we've been eating Golden Grahams for C-mas since we were kids.
If we are hosting C-mas dinner, DH usually makes a pork loin on the grille and I made lots of lots of finger foods. One of the biggest hits is so easy- mini-baked potatoes. All I do is boil tiny red potatoes in an inch of water for about 30 minutes, cut them in half, let them cool and then pipe on sour cream & onion sauce and top with chives. It is the easiest thing and everyone goes crazy for them! We also always make bacon-wrapped water chestnuts, stuffed mushrooms, salmon pinwheels and assorted cheese trays with crackers.
I've gotten some of my best appetizer recipes from the little Betty Crocker/Pillsbury Cookbooks you can find in the grocery check-out aisle- they make summer and winter seasonal recipes and they are always great! Now DH gets me one of those mini-cookbooks for my stocking each year.
Merry Christmas!
