holiday recipe raves
our christmas dinner was all new recipes for me and they were seriously awesome!
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/roast-prime-rib-with-thyme-au-jus-recipe/index.html
i got a smaller piece so i just cooked it 15 minutes/lb so it would be rare/medium rare. i also used veal stock instead of beef stock for the au jus.
PW's mashed potatoes

i halved the recipe, cut back on the butter, and added some sour cream. these were the best mashed potatoes i've ever made and i think i may like them more than my aunt suzanne's (which i love, love, LOVE). i also love that they can be made the day before, just had to reheat on christmas day.
Green
Beans with Glazed Shallots and Lemon (thanks ad52905)
these were very good and easy to do just before serving dinner
for me, it's just not christmas without Chocolate
Trifle so i made a small(ish) one for josh & i (instead of the huge one required for my family).

I do that every. single. time. I make mashed. Love, love, love them. I would much rather lick a spoon with mashed on it than a spoon with brownie batter, YUM-O.
(We had prime rib for christmas dinner too, thanks to my mother in law!!)
i laughed out loud when i read your post about V eating all the leftovers and asking for more, that is one to tell when she gets older! we have like 2 pounds in the freezer and i think i'm just going to make a really big steak when we feel ready to eat hunks of beef again.
