Christmas Foods!

[vernacular_life]

I THINK this is food list for the next few days:   


Christmas Eve:
playing this one by ear....probably having a big salad with pommegrante seeds, candied pecans, gorg;  and tapas (bean salad on polenta;

Christmas Morning:
Stollen (we've had this for Christmas morning breakfast for as long as I can remember)
fruit salad

Christmas Dinner
-appitizers (will leave up to Steve and Dixie or frozen Costco ones)

--Roasted Red Pepper Soup w/ Parmesean crisps
--Individual beef Wellingtons (w/ no Pate for Dix)**
--Fresh french green beans w/ thyme and lemon
--cookies for dessert

After Christmas visit w/ my parents and brother
-some kind of breakfast casserole or quiche (brother 'stole' my favorite one, so have to try something new)
-more fruit salad!

Later in week when IL's come
-black bean chili 'casserole' with cornbread topping
-

To have around the house for the next week
-packged roast beef and good bread for sandwiches
-pita chips and some kind of dip (white bean and red pepper?)

Shopping list for above is INSANE.

**totally rethinking this, as maybe I should cook a roast or something that will allow for leftovers!
