Vegetarian, dairy free app and main
So crazy me decided to cook Christmas dinner for my husband's family. We've been together ten years and this is the first Christmas we're spending with his family, so I want to do a good job. I love cooking and have never had any issues, but for some reason I'm nervous! This could be because its my first time cooking a holiday dinner, I'm doing it mostly on my own and I just had a baby a month ago!
My menu is basic:
Turkey
Mashed potatoes (thinking sweet potatoes)
Gravy
Steamed Broccoli/cauliflower
Stuffing and caesar salad and assorted baking by his aunt
Apps:
Bacon wrapped water chestnuts
Feta dip with cucumbers
Dill cheese dip
There's going to be 12-14 of us, and I emailed his cousin to double check no food allergies... Turns out she doesn't eat meat or dairy. She was sweet about it and said not to make anything special she'll just eat what she can. So, basically the veg and possibly the stuffing. I was thinking of doing a stuffed mushroom app instead of one of the dips, but can't think of a "main" that isn't like stuffing. Any suggestions? Is my menu too basic?
Thank you :-)
