Not sure what I'm going to eat this year. There'll be nine of us for dinner. - I'm cooking. Two kids who eat mostly paleo, two fitness fanatics who are (I think) completely paleo, Dad, who's kinda low carb but won't eat turkey, three others who like things traditional. (- I'm sorry, but I draw the line at mushy sprouts!) and me.
So,
Turkey,
Roast beef
Roast potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Roast parsnips
Roast carrots
Roast onions
Butternut squash,Stilton and pecan nuts
Cauliflower cheese
Runner beans
Broccoli
Sprouts, thinly sliced,fried in butter
Turkey gravy
Beef gravy
Sausages wrapped in pancetta
Mushroom stuffing
Haven't decided what to do for starters yet.
Dessert will probably be something along the lines of
strawberry and passion fruit pavlova,
Honey and cinnamon icecream "cheese cake with a crushed nut and praline crust,
Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate with extra thick double cream,
Or stuff out of my new paleo dessert book. - depends how "paleo" my brother and his family decide they want to be this year.
Obviously I can't eat a lot of that, but, to be honest, after I've cooked it and got it on the table, I'm kinda over the whole eating thing.
I aim to have something for everyone and enough leftovers to not have to do any substantial cooking for a day or two, despite there being what feels like hoards of people in the house! Cold cuts, some weird and wonderful salad type combinations, roast vegetable Falafel type things, - what ever I feel like making up really. It's not hard to keep things relatively low carb if you think outside the box.
'Course, vodka helps.
