What you all cookin for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

[WildWill]

Last night was our first of three Christmas parties. Had a bunch of people at the SIL house and decided to do a BBQ greatest hits type meal pulled pork, tri-tip, and a small hunk of brisket. Also had quite the finger food spread.

Oh and my interesting dirty Santa gift. I love my group of friends.

The Best Pizza Dough Recipe

This is the easiest, BEST pizza dough recipe. With just 6 ingredients and no fancy flours required (I've included instructions for using all-purpose OR bread flour), this pizza crust requires just one bowl (no stand mixer, though you can use one if you'd like), about 3 seconds of kneading, and...

This has been an easy pizza dough that works good for us. If you have a pellet grill use that, it tastes like wood fired pizza

Christmas Day is a big potluck with lots of family, prime rib n all the fixings. I'm not in charge of that.

Christmas Eve will be small with just my family. Will start by brining some shanks overnight, then cold smoke for a few hours, then transfer to the dutch oven with carrots and a tiny bit of broth. Take meat out, wrap in foil while I make the dutch oven broth into gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes.

Our next holiday meal will be a 7lb CAB standing rib roast, with twice baked potatoes, and salad on Christmas eve. Christmas morning i have a assortment of Danish kringles made in Wisconsin almond, raspberry, and cherry. Gonna make elk wellington with my last piece of elk backstrap for Christmas dinner.

Christmas Eve my wife and I are cooking an all seafood Italian Christmas Eve dinner for a very close friend and her family.

Appetizers:
anchovy filets on toast with butter
Oysters on the halfshell
Fried calamari
Crab Louie salad cups
Shrimp cocktail

Mains:
Garlicky linguine with clams and mussels in a white wine sauce
Bacala alla napoletano


Gonna be too much food and too much wine. Just the way it ought to be.

Guess my thoughts on smoking a prime rib for Christmas were spot on. My daughter wants to come up with her family for the day and watch Die Hard. Won't be alone after all.

What is your brine recipe?

I eye ball it haha. But roughly 1 cup salt to 1 gallon of water. Then I add seasoning for flavor. This year Im trying herbs de provenance. Basically anything with rosemary, sage, and other savory seasonings will work.

This year it’s appetizers for lunch ….

Cheeseburger dip, deviled eggs, BLT dip, spinach dip and cheese ball.

Dinner that night will be beef stew.

 

[mevertsen]

Will be my wife, 10 year old daughter and I.

Ham
Potatoes
Rolls
Some type of vegetable
Stuffing
A peppermint cream pie (We've never made that before).

Pretty simple.

We did go to the town Christmas parade and dinner.

Aside from that, no parties for us this Christmas.

We like it that way.

Shrimp cocktail

If there isn't shrimp cocktail is it even a holiday?
