This will be our first Christmas together, here in our own home, with me cooking for hubby (poor sod), I dont just want to serve a traditional British Christmas dinner, i want to have some of his home food right there, the problem is i don't know where to begin to look. The kids and I spent last xmas, with him at his dads house in lafayette before he deployed, and OMG the food was to die for, but i could not even tell you what we had. I know we Gumbo on Christmas eve.
On Christmas day we had, lots of side dishes, i know we had green beans, but they had a dressing on them that made them taste wonderful. Also sweet potatoes, cut up with i think pecans on, again tasted great but don't have a clue how to cook them, plus lots of other sides, all i know is that they tasted good ( i should have been paying more attention, plus i dont really speak with his family so cant get help there.).
can anyone help, have any recipes or can point me in the right direction, i have just checked out a few sites, but i am drawing a blank.
I know he would love me to cook dirty rice and Gumbo on xmas eve, which I am going to have a go at.
I am asking so early so i can use myself as a guinea pig and test out before xmas.
