We are thinking about doing a italiano christmas.
ravioli, tortellini, stuffed shells, italian cookies, canaloni, italian minestrone soup, the list can go on and on

We always do seafood...crab cakes, shrimp, etc and sometimes a standing rib roast!

I spend Christmas on my own most times, at least Christmas day dinner stuff so I end up taking myself out for dinner!

I have to admit I always do the "traditional" dinner when I do cook it though.

All these ideas sound YUMMY though!

I cook salmon or lobster tails and rib eye steak. We got people who hate fish and some who hate meat. Something easy.

Yvonne,
I would love to try fondue...What is your recipe for the steak? Its sounds delicious.

All you do is put peanut oil in fondue pot and cook steak in it. I cut sirloin tip steak into cubes and we cook it in the fondue pot. I add a tablespoon of garlic to the oil for extra flavor.
We have the fondue, salad, garlic toast and champagne. Dessert is usually cheesecake. My mom always served this on Christmas Eve and now I do too. It is very easy and my family loves it.
Happy Holidays!
Yvonne
