Christmas menu

[Allen]

Mom used to make pearled barley soup , What else can you make with it ?

Soup, I suppose...but I'm talking about beer.

BBQed New York strips, sautéed onions and mushrooms, 8-12 count shrimp seasoned with Citrus Grill seasoning, sautéed in butter, grilled shrimp marinated in a recipe I found on the internet, baked cheesy hash browns, ramen noodle cabbage salad, vegetable pizza.
Fruit pizza, pistachio dessert.
The mother in- law passed this last March so we baked a bunch of different Christmas goodies that she used to make.
Get to share all this goodness with the son, daughter in-law, 4 awesome grandchildren 9,6,2and 1, daughter and her boyfriend.

I’m going to need to go on a diet after Christmas

We went with ribs on the smoker, smoked reverse-seared sirloins, and marinaded pork tenderloin for meat, homemade mac-and-cheese, mashed potatoes, and scalloped corn for dinner. Snacks were meat and cheese tray featuring venison summer sausage, venison snack sticks, veggie tray, Dots southwest pretzels, and refrigerator pickles. Pecan pie and cookie salad for dessert.

WHAT? am I the only one who still roasts a turkey? At 79 with attempts at countless birds I finally got it right and won't give it up. Maple syrup/bourbon brine for 24 hours, smear with canola oil, roast uncovered in a 450 degree oven to brown, transfer to my white roaster, 325 degrees for 3-4 hours for a 12 - 13 lb bird, The oven is then clear to roast a home grown butter cup squash and green bean casserole.

No your not, oven roasted Turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing. Seafood pasta and cornbread. And Cheesecake, Pumpkin and Blueberry pie.

Turkey is like the spam of holiday meals

I will take Tradition anytime. I can have steak and prime rib anytime. Same as Turkey, but the family expect it and Turkey makes the best gravy. And Turkey sandwiches and Turkey noodle soup is the best.

Thumbs up not because I like turkey, but because I like tradition. Whatever you family feels is "what your family does"...I will make happen every year.
