Here's a group to discuss favorite Christmas recipes, traditions, meal planning and more.
Holiday Dinners for the Immediate Family
In the past, I've been drawn to holiday cookies, desserts and of course recipes for the Christmas Dinner for the crowd of people who come over. This year, however, Iwant to focus on recipes with 4-6 servings for the weeknight family meals so we can celebrate during the entire season. I'm looking for entrees, sides and desserts that can be prepared and cooked within an hour or two that definitely take the "hum-bug" out of routine suppers. Thanks! ~lauriepooh

Breakfast Casserole
I always make a breakfast casserole the night before and then pop it into the oven christmas morning just as the last packages are being unwrapped. This year Im making "French Toast Casserole"(BO recipe). I had a chance to try it out on family visiting from Washington. There wasn't a bite left. It is melt in your mouth good.

Christmas Menus
Everyone who celebrates Christmas seems to have different traditions and timing around meals. In our household, we usually have a simple but elegant dinner (optimized for easy, quick cleanup!) on Christmas Eve with visiting relatives, then try to keep it as simple as possible throughout most of Christmas morning. Skipping lunch, by Christmas evening, we're often ready to enjoy some shrimp cocktail and drinks around the fire with friends and family, and an easy dinner. What's your menu tradition?
