Ideas for your Christmas Brunch or Christmas Dinner
Who of us doesn't want to cook like our favorite celebrity chefs? I know that
I do. I always want to try new recipes and incorporate new flavors into old dishes.
However, the most important lesson that I have learned over the years is your
guests won't remember every single dish you cook so it's best to let two or three
dishes shine.
Check
out our Green Bean Recipes
to find the perfect Christmas side dish
If you've made a fabulous Madeira gravy from our recipe, stick with simple
buttered mashed potatoes. If you're having candied sweet potatoes and brussels
sprouts with prosciutto and parmesan serve your fresh green beans simply blanched.
There is nothing wrong with incorporating new recipes and flavors into your old
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner menus, but don't go overboard. Everything you
cook doesn't need something added to it.
Some families get together
for a Christmas Brunch, some get together
for Christmas Dinner.
Our family
does both!
Christmas Brunch Menu:
We
enjoy our Christmas Brunch. We like the idea of not having to rush in the morning.
By brunch time everyone has had a chance to relax and open some gifts at their
homes. We meet at my mother-in-laws home and everyone brings a dish. We've got
some flavorful and easy to make and transport recipe ideas for you, including
an Egg & Sausage Scramble Casserole and Grand Marnier French Toast.
One of our recent favorites is a Classic Crumb Cake recipe given to us by our
friend Alice Smith. Another recent addition to our Christmas brunch is a dish
with Mediterranean roots, a Sweet
Moroccan Couscous. It's easy to make with instant couscous, golden raisins,
almonds and cinnamon and made even more flavorful with a drizzle of yogurt honey
sauce. We start our brunch around 10A and it goes on until we're all filled-up.
Christmas Dinner Menu:
Our family meets at my sister-in-laws for Christmas dinner. Since we've just had turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner and the majority in our family like lamb we generally have lamb as our main meat course for Christmas dinner. We enjoy our Creme de Menthe Leg of Lamb. Some years we make an Apricot and Bourbon Pork Tenderloin. We also always cook a pineapple glazed ham for Christmas dinner.
What about those special Christmas cookies & desserts? We've got plenty of them too including a fabulous Red Velvet Cake Recipe.
