I don’t usually post a Christmas menu because Christmas is spent at my parents’ home and I’m not in charge of cooking. However, my mom is awesome, asks for my input with meals, and she and I enjoy cooking the family feasts together. I figure this means that I’ve got the right to post the menu to my blog and, by doing so, help both of our memories for next year!
Friday
Dinner: Lebanese Feast! My mom was stumped for ideas and I suggested this theme because she spent her foreign study quarters living in Lebanon during college. Hummus, pita, Chicken Shawarma, Tabbouleh, Tahini Sauce, and Tomato Relish.
Saturday
Breakfast: bagels, breads, cream cheeses, jams, etc.
Lunch: diy sandwiches, fruit
Dinner: spaghetti, garlic bread, tossed salad
Sunday
Breakfast: Our traditional Christmas breakfast consists of scrambled eggs, Coffee Cake, grapefruit, and the bacon my dad managed to convince my mom was part of our tradition.
Lunch: “nibble food” since it’s unlikely that we’ll eat a proper lunch!
Dinner: grilled filet mignon, Sundried Tomato Butter, Green Bean Casserole, French Onion Casserole, baked potatoes (white and sweet), tossed salad, ice cream pie
Monday(my brother and nephew will be arriving in time for dinner!)
Breakfast: bagels, breads, cream cheeses, jams, etc.
Lunch: Out to Peppermill for hoagies, stromboli, and cheesesteaks!
Dinner: grilled salmon and filet mignon, Garlic Roasted Mushrooms, Lemon Broccoli Risotto (made with veggie broth), tossed salad
Tuesday
Breakfast: Our traditional Christmas breakfast consists of scrambled eggs, Coffee Cake, grapefruit, bacon. (This is a repeat of Christmas breakfast since we’ll be doing the whole Christmas Thing for a second time with my brother and nephew!)
Lunch: diy sandwiches, fruit
And that’s the plan! Lots of delicious food and fun times cooking with my mom. I can’t wait!
