Christmas Menu

Jackie ♦ December 23, 2008 ♦ 3 Comments

This will be my last post till after the holidays, so I thought I’d share my Christmas menu with you!

This is the second year we’ve hosted a Christmas Day brunch for all our assorted relatives in the area. I like brunch because it’s easier to make for 15 or so people, and easier to seat that many people in my house. I also like the informality of it, and since almost all our relatives are within driving distance, everyone is on the road in the daytime, no one driving in the dark in possibly bad weather. My mother, an amateur china expert, has started giving me Christmas dishes, so this will be the first year that the brunch will be on Christmas china.

Here’s the list:

French Breakfast Puffs
Brie en Croute, served with sliced apples and pears
Turkey Bacon
Veggie Breakfast Sausage
Pecan Tassies
Blue Cheese Stuffed New Potatoes (Rachael Ray recipe not available online)
Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Coffee Cake (RR recipe, not available online)
Cheesecake Brownies
Belgian Waffles with Berries
Sugar Cookies

My stepmother is talking about either bringing an egg dish or juices, and if she doesn’t bring an egg dish, I’m thinking of adding some deli meat and sandwich fixins, so that the balance isn’t tilted too much towards sweet stuff.

I hope you are enjoying whatever holiday you are celebrating– at school, my girls have been learning about Ramadan, Hanukkah, Christmas, the winter solstive, and even the winter holiday of the Baha’i faith. I hope your family and loved ones are safe, that your home is filled with holiday cheer, and that I’ll see you around in the New Year.
