We also don't have a "standard" Christmas meal in our family, and there are a LOT of NBPR or NWPR turkey rebates out there right now.

Pasta at Christmas just seems wrong from my perspective, wrong for me.<br /><br />The only pasta we ever ate was spaghetti and not on Christmas. We never even ate macaroni and cheese at any time! Meat was central to all meals that Daddy ate. <br /><br />It's interesting what other people consider "normal." Thanks for all the traditions. I like the way your plans evolve from simple to a blowout. <br /><br />Right now, my meal plans this week include things I have already cooked--chicken, navy beans, slaw, tangerines, apples and bananas and pecans. My Christmas Day plans will involve turkey, dressing, gravy and a jello salad.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-26455825894595323602012-12-18T11:54:58.141-05:002012-12-18T11:54:58.141-05:00The husband is out of town (AGAIN), so it's an...The husband is out of town (AGAIN), so it's another easy week:<br />Tuesday - I'm going to make lentil soup <br />Wednesday - leftover soup + chicken<br />Thursday - kids are going to have tacos, I'll probably have soup<br />Friday - Chicken florentine (from the freezer)<br />Saturday - Chicken enchiladas (from the freezer)<br />Sunday - leftover of anything left in the fridge, as we're heading out of town<br /><br />Christmas Eve - I'm bringing Maggiano's to a family event<br />Christmas - We do the traditional turkey/sides fare<br /><br />After that, we're heading to the beach!Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.com
