Here
are my favorite recipes for a traditional country Christmas
dinner.
The
mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole can be made
ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. In our
family, turnip is a tradition - and I love this rutabaga
and pear puree.
Another
tradition is the jellied salad - I don't know where
the idea to serve a sweet Jello dish with a meal came
from, but it was reserved for special occasions and
pot luck dinners. It just wouldn't be Christmas without
this pineapple and carrot version.
Stuff
your turkey with a simple bread stuffing (my favorite
part of the meal) and serve with a delicious homemade
cranberry sauce.
Somehow
after this great feast you have to "save room"
for just a teeny serving of rich carrot pudding. It's
tradition!
