so what does everyone eat for their holiday meals…..
since I came to this country (Canada age 4) my parents enjoyed Seafood as a pick food for guests along with cold cuts cheese ect ect on Christmas eve……. then a big Turkey dinner or Ham or both some times Christmas day
so my wife and I have continued the tradition by doing the same how about you…..
We usually go to my wifes familys house for Dinner,we usually have Ham for Xmas.
We have a seafood feast on Christmas Eve, (Italian Catholic roots) no meat, clams, mussels, perch, dried cod…
Christmas Day usually we have prime rib

Prime rib and ham. This is the first year we are having my family over to our house so we get to do the prime rib, $ouch$
We have been eating seafood too for the past few years. We have been get king crab legs sent to us from Alaska. A guy we built a house for sends them to us now. I guess he was really happy with his home and the way we treated him? They are huge man.

We will have prime rib on Christmas day
Deep fried turkey, smoked ham, beer butt chicken… We go overboard. Sometimes we do a Mexican Christmas but this year I made lasagna and we will serve it with meatballs for appetizer, pesto bread shaped like a Christmas tree, hot links, mac & cheese, beer butt chicken, and salad. I love to cook and leave the more traditional meals for the in laws.
We are going against the grain somewhat this year. Tired of turkey and all of that. Having Steak with mac and cheese, fresh green beans, baked potatos and Hawaiian rolls. Plus homemade sweet potato pie.
My side of the family does the seven fishes on Christmas eve and a HUGE pasta dinner on Christmas day. Usually homemade ravioli, hot & sweet sausage, braciole, etc. Very italian.
This year I spent the holiday with the in laws. We had turkey and goose (first time trying goose), stuffing, mashed potato and the usual fixings that go with that.

We will put out 7 different courses of seafood. Usually shrimp cocktail, some sort of crab dip, lobster ravioli, and so on. We kind of change it up every year so it isn’t always the same thing.

Wow, that looks amazing. Man I love me some good food.
yes this is something carried down from generations, this dish has been part of pretty much every special occasion dinner in our family forever…I can’t count how many people over the years that don’t like cabbage per say enjoy this once trying it…..took it to a pot luck dinner one time and almost everyone wanted the recipe……..

Hey Comp, got any recepie’s that can be made with a crock pot? A family member got me a crock pot cause she wants me to start cooking for myself more, instead of eating out and getting fat and ripped off. I am thinking that soups would be the easiest for me to make, otherwise I am just going to google some recepie’s but thought you might have some.
Theres literally a TON of recipes for crock pots and they’re incredibly easy. From soups and stews to pulled pork recipes. Just take a quick search on google and your bound to find something really good.
Thanks Giving is always a turkey. We usually get a ham for Christmas eve, and Christmas day can be a million different things from steaks to ribs, to prime rib depending on money and how much effort we want to put into it.
yes protoolnut, I by no means am the cook…..I know 3 things in the kitchen….
1 I smell food must be close to supper
2 someone is yelling at me to come eat, I know it is time for supper
3 I ate to much!
. Steaks!!Man that sounds good for New Years I’m telling the wifey to get some I haven’t had one in awhile, Thanks Jason!!Jasonc wrote:
