That really sounds yummy. I'm going to have to make that as a main meal for us.

Merry Christmas!

Forgot to add: One of our favorite Christmas traditions is Field Peas and Okra, sometimes with cubed tomatoes, most often without.

We all are really liking this corn dish: cream cheese corn.

Heat up two cans of whole kernel corn, drain, then add an 8oz pkg of cream cheese - maybe a splash of milk if it is too thick. A dash of garlic salt and a pat of butter. Very easy.

I'm with the Brussell sprouts. Shred/Slice with a mandolin. Add olive oil to high sided skillet. Toss shreds over medium heat till bright green. Turn off heat. Add romano/parmesan blend grated cheese and toss. Squeeze half lemon over all; toss again. Thus, a warm brussell sprout salad

Our christmas dinner will be for just the two of us. We are having beef and homemade noodles with garlic cheese bread from homemade bread. Simple and delicious. Family Christmas will be Friday because that was the day that worked best for everyone.

Broccoli casserole, corn casserole, rice dressing, baked asparagus, mac-n-cheese, twice baked potatoes, I could go on for days, can you tell I'm hungry!

I was out for dinner last night and she served asparagus - was that ever good - long thin stalks. And I love asparagus. Edie

We absolutely love these we use a little bacon and little onion. everything is better with bacon you know. I also use a little cider vinegar to dress mine.

I am making a turnip casserole and my daughter is making and bringing a broccoli/cauliflower/onion casserole. And I do some plain corn for the grandkiddies....

I used to do it all. favorite was a sweet potato casserole with pecans on top, NO marshmellows, butter cream cheese, nutmeg, salt pepper.. all smashed then pecans on top. tada easy to do wonderful to eat. favorite with everyone. I am making for Christmas this year.. drum roll please.. tacos. The man wanted Tacos. far be it from me to cook something elaborate when all he wants is tacos lol. We are alone this holiday and did our big event in Oct and then again in Nov when the kids came out. its ok. I find we eat every single night lol. oh and we are going to maybe watch a couple fireworks tonight. I know its not firework time but things like this happen at times :) in the snow. no less :)

ps that salad sounds great .. any recipe for the dressing by any chance? thanks!
