Christmas dinner - What are you making?

[kareng]

I am completely uninspired for what to serve for Christmas dinner.  Last year, my BIL smoked ribs and I made sides like scalloped potatoes in the crockpot and cheesy corn bake and cornbread.  In past years, I make lasagna and different pasta dishes.  The good thing about lasagna is that all you really need is a salad with it - so that is very easy. But I have a 21 year old son and a hub that will help with food ( they will help make it as well as eat it ), so making some sides isn't too much work.  We will have some cookies and choc & a PB fudge for dessert (son will make ).

What are you making for Christmas dinner?

I need to bring our food to another house on Christmas Day and I have not decided yet.  I like the ribs idea since I am bring baked beans for everyone to share.  On Christmas Eve, I am making a family tradition: stuffed cabbage rolls, sauerkraut, potatoes, and kolacky (cookies) for dessert.   My hubby loves  cranberry orange coconut shortbread cookies, so I’ll make a batch of those too.

I started a habit 2 years ago of cooking salmon for Christmas, Sorta Turkey on thanksgiving ham for New Years.....did some research and for the actual basis of the Christmas holiday neither red meat, or poultry were actually appropriate but fish would have been. SOO I opted for the one meat I really can eat. I have done a bake with a paprika, bit of cinnamon and a maple or honey glaze, and a smoked one over a plank. I serve along side green beans I cook with some bacon for flavoring, I normally do a dessert of some kind and another dish, this year I am thinking bacon or teriyaki brussels from my recipe blog....and a pan of keto dressing using my coconut keto bread with poultry seasoning and some blended sautes onion, and celery in a vegetable broth and cashew milk mix it up and bake, and my grain free sugar cookies. for dessert.
