    Default What are you cooking for Christmas dinner?

    I'm making pretty much the whole meal. It's a repeat of Thanksgiving which is traditional here. My mom does the dressing but I'll be doing all of the following.

    Turkey
    Mashed potatoes
    Gravy
    Salad
    Pinto Beans
    Pink stuff (jello salad)
    Pumpkin Pie
    Pecan Pie
    Cherry Cheesecake

    I've also planned on making a Jewish Coffee Cake for breakfast for the day of and we'll be having mamosas to go with.

    What are you cooking?

    There's only 3 of us, so I try not to go too overboard, but still fix Momma and DH's favorites. We'll be having ham, chicken & dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, coleslaw, green bean casserole, rolls and a couple of desserts.
