We had Christmas dinner with ILs and I brought the cheesy starches lol. I made DH's grandmother's hashbrown casserole and this potato gratin I've posted a couple times. The gratin was every bit as impressive and delicious as it looks. Everybody loved it and they all completely forgot about their usual favorites.
ETA - I also made this quiche earlier in the week and the 9 people who tried it all loved it, too.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
We had about 17 people at our house for Christmas - family and friends. I made a ton of food - lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, string bean casserole, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry chutney and crab cakes. I'm Italian so I bring the Italian part and my husband's a little of everything and his family always did ham or turkey for Christmas - so we bring both family traditions to the table and it's a nice selection for everyone.
Just wish I had a few extra days off from work - would like to just relax a bit and not have to do anything. Looking forward to the long new-year's weekend.
My Christmas day was very low key, but very nice. DH and my 3 yo made cinnamon griddle cakes for breakfast then MIL and sFIL came for dinner. They are the pickiest people under the sun, but ate and ENJOYED every last thing I made. sFIL "doesn't eat meat" because of gastric bypass but he ate the tenderloin I made.
It was a perfect menu
apss: shrimp cocktail, veggies, cheese and trail bologna and crackers
dinner: pumpkin soup, beef tenderloin, bacon wrapped green beans, rosemary mashed potatoes and yams, crescent rolls, and MIL's lime fluff (there were 2 scoops out of that)
dessert: cheesecake and cookies
Thank you! Everything sounded awesome. Due to family stuff I think I'm getting Thanksgiving again though...
