Well the Christmas 'rush' is over and all the holiday guests have departed. We had as many as 7 additional people sleeping over at one point and it lasted from the 23rd until the 28th. Below is a brief rundown of what I cooked:
Christmas Eve Dinner - what we call a 'turkey pie' - made from leftover turkey, mashed potatoes and veggies (usually peas) all put together in a 9 X 13 casserole dish and frozen along with turkey gravy (frozen separately). Top the pie with pie crust and bake.
Christmas Dinner - about 19 lbs of Standing Rib Roast (2 roasts, one done on my Big Green Egg), mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, steamed carrots (steamed with chicken stock - the BEST!!), green bean casserole, lima beans in cream sauce and beef gravy (made and saved from leftovers of countless pot roasts and frozen in little pouches then combined), a pumpkin pie, a lemon meringue pie and a chocolate 'log' made with those thin chocolate cookies and whipped cream.
Day After Christmas - I had made about two gallons of spaghetti sauce with pork ribs, meatballs and sausages - simmered for hours. Served with rosemary garlic toast.
Two days after Christmas - choice of some leftover pulled pork that I had frozen along with the remaining meatballs & sausage from the previous night in small rolls along with french fries.
Breakfasts - one morning was a big batch of soft-scrambled eggs with smoked gouda cheese (YOU GOTTA TRY THIS), another day was a big batch of French Toast with bacon and ham steaks on the side........ others I can't remember
Right now I'm making a beef stew from the left-over roast beef (gonna be AWESOME!!) but I'm ready for a REST!
I hope everyone had a great holiday and I wish you a Happy New Year!!
