No need to use cornflakes - Tesco has the crispy onions, they keep them with the salad dressing, next to the Bacos.  They're in a little plastic pot and called "salad onions"

Great to know, thanks! Green bean casserole isn't complete without the onions!  :D

My husband likes traditional, no garlic Christmas dinner. I mean, no garlic. What a pain. Its just the three of us, my family are arriving on the 27th Dec and my sons birthday party is on the 5th Jan, so its an awkard week...


We are doing traditional roast dinner:
Roast Rib of Beef
Yorkshire Puds
Roast Potatoes
Bacony Chippolatas
Stuffing (not homemade...sorry)
Carrots
Sprouts
Roast Squash/Turnips

and for our pud...I am making a DELISH sticky toffee pudding.
Yummy!

We started a tradition for Christmas breakfast based on a superb breakfast we had at the Hotel Schloss in Mondsee near Salzburg.....

Smoked salmon, rolls, croissants
Poppyseed cake
Walnut roulade cheese
cold cuts
scrambled eggs, streaky bacon

We'll definitely have Christmas blend and hot cocoa for the kids.

I have no idea what we're having.  My friend is coming to stay for christmas and is a great cook and has offered to make christmas dinner for us.  I'm buying everything but she's cooking.  So yesterday I asked her what I should be buying and she said CHEESE!  So, it looks like we're having fondue?

We don't have to cook either.  We're going to my MiL's and she is making a vegetarian nut roast and I'm not sure what else.  I offered to make a dish but it seems as though she wants to do it all.

Sounds good to me!  :P ;D

My bf's mother had a minor operation a little over a week ago, so is opting out of cooking this year. She doesn't enjoy it much anyway, so I think she's happy to have an excuse! So the bf, his sister and I will be holed up in the kitchen with mucho vino and some Christmas tunes, and will take care of it all. The only problem is that their kitchen is so inadequately stocked! No good knives, no colander, no chopping board (!!), etc. And mother has already told me, "It's OK. I've already bought the frozen vegetables."  :-X ::)

Still, we'll try to put together a good turkey dinner with roast potatoes, parsnips and sweet potatoes; sprouts; stuffing (both sausage and veggie); gravy; cranberry sauce; and bread sauce.

My big dilemma is how to make it a special dinner and not just another Sunday roast. Most Sundays I do a chicken or other joint, yorkshire puds, potatoes, and veg. So trying to come up with something to make all that a bit more special.... I'll definitely add cranberry sauce and obviously a pud....

My mom didn't even have a cutting board!  I brought her one just so I could cut stuff when I come to visit.

Cheese graters are so handy even for things other than cheese!
