Lately, I refuse to repeat Thanksgiving dishes. I do 2 meals. One on Christmas Eve with my children and our aunt.
I'll do salmon, herbed rice, a chicken and pasta dish, broccoli salad (her fave), a green veggie dish, hot rolls, and a dessert.
On Christmas: Shrimp, crab cakes, talapia fillets, potato salad, a small beef roast, mac -n-cheese, a small dish of stuffing (one Christmas carryover for DD), Left over herbed rice, sweet potato pie.
