Christmas Dinner

I try to not be too rigid about Christmas Dinner -- and yet our menu ends up being almost identical each year. This year's  change up is that we're having Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve -- works best that way with everyone's other commitments and work schedules.





Gabe & His Gigi wish you a Merry CHRISTmas!!
The menu is very low-carb friendly -- you'll notice potatoes on the menu. Not something I eat but #2 son requested them, so he is getting them. I also will be making a cauliflower dish that is made exactly the same way so it will be easy to do both. With the exception of dessert (I'll post those recipes later in the week), all are tried and true recipes (click on each dish to be directed to the recipe).

Dinner:

Standing Rib Roast w/Au Jus & Horseradish Cream
Herbed Potato Gratin (or Herbed Cauliflower Gratin for the Low Carb eaters)
Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Dessert: 

Low-Carb Brownies
Coffee Ice Cream and 
Caribou's Obsidian Coffee w/Heavy Whipping Cream

What's for Christmas Dinner at your house?

Wishing you, my dear friends and readers (and fellow low-carbers), the Merriest Christmas -- may your hearts and homes be FULL of love and cherished memories in the making. Thank you for all you share with ME!!
