Whats your Xmas dinner consist of?

Well i am gonna be adventurous and have a chicken pot noodle. I could have had the traditional stuff if i had gone to U.K but i have on 3 days holiday.

at my sister in laws house her husband made some beef n gravy, cheesey potatoes, water chestnuts wrapped in bacon and covered in bbq sauce...
thats what the dinner consisted off... I mainly gorged off the waterchestnuts... they were sooo good... have to make those sometimes...

no turkey, no mashed taters, no cranberries, simple, sweet, and yummy..

red beans and rice, jerk chicken wings, whole lemon pepper roasted chicken, and stuffed shells for the vegetarians in the family.

At my dad's parents house I had a lot of italian seafood dishes it was all seafood. I loved the food but seafood makes my stomach hurt so I had to suffer through a hurting stomach after that dinner. At my mom's parents I ate turkey, mashed patatoes, cranberry sauce, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Both dinners were good.

I did all the cooking this year, which means I got everything I like!
Welcome to my take on a Southern Christmas. It was a total bacon & sage theme.

I made:

*A turkey -- stuffed with sage, lemons & onions, and with sage stuffed under the skin of the breast. Towards the end of roasting time, I made a maple glaze for it and draped bacon over top.
*Homemade gravy
*Sausage, sage & cornbread stuffing
*Pumpkin Soup
*Garlic mashed potatoes (aka the most unhealthy mashed 'taters on the face of the earth)
*Sweet & sour green beans w/bacon
*Potato rolls & regular rolls
*Chocolate silk pie

It was goooooood, and I have nothing but the turkey carcass leftover! But that's okay, I'm making turkey soup.

I always follow the Christmas Puerto Rican tradition for dinner.

Pork roast with skin, saut� the night before on garlic, adobo and pepper.

Spanish yellow rice with chunks of ham.

Mashed potatoes, and my mother's famous potato salad Spanish style.

Green beens with bacon.

Pasteles, this is a very ethnic dish and a holiday tradition. It will take to long to explain what is made off.

And for desert My daughter made a red velvet cake from scratch and It was absolutely divine.

Yes, I always have lots of people for dinner during Christmas, I am a hell of a cook thanks to my mom.
