Might be a dinner for 2 or maybe 4 with a couple of days for leftovers... The DD's: 1 says probably, the other says...maybe. Okay. What I would like is a couple of WOW recipes. Something that's not too tricky but tastes like a million bucks! Also, the girls...do not cook-never even liked to help in the kitchen-can I say avoid it like the plague? I like cooking-especially holiday meals (trying out new recipes). At least they don't mind the washing up part-the part I hate!
Should I go with a smaller turkey or stuffed turkey breast? 2 must haves as sides are: my mashed potatoes and corn pudding. What other sides? I used to do small fancy salads and a hot vegetable like green beans or broccoli. I'd love to have a nice bread/roll recipe that's easy-I hate the flavor of canned/those packaged rolls in a cardboard tray. Should I do a vegetable tray instead or a soup/soup shooters? Appetizers? Is there something I could make-ahead or make and freeze now? Smaller portion things?
I also hate when the fridge is packed to the brim and you can't even grab some iced tea. I was thinking maybe like individual pie/cake in mugs instead of whole cakes or pies calling to me to send my diabetes through the roof! We usually do a dinner hour (5-7 pm) time frame so everyone can get their errands and whatever done. Then we plan for Christmas over coffee/dessert. Help?
