I started the day after Thanksgiving and have been able to navigate three parties, so far. Just been telling myself that I'll be ahead of the game on New Year's Day. How are you handling Christmas Dinner? I have a prime rib and plan to make a mashed cauliflower recipe from the IP cookbook. Any suggestions for another veggie?
I'm doing a roasted green bean and red pepper dish in addition to mashed cauliflower this year. Fairly easy - green beans, red pepper cut into thin strips, tossed in olive oil and seasonings, roasted in the oven.
Yum on the roasted green beans.
We also love roasted Brussels sprouts.
I'd suggest mashed turnips or mashed rutabaga & then just have the cauli roasted, rather than mashed, as another option.
