Christmas Eve Dinner Plans
Emily and I sat down to do this weeks homework: planning our Christmas Eve Traditional Polish 13 course, meatless dinner. Again, the goal is to make things as straight forward and simple as possible and hopefully make these events a source of joy instead of a source of stress.
The Menu was pretty straight forward because we had a head start with using our old holiday records. We have an unusual limitation with this meal because we can't have seafood in our house due to allergies. Many traditional dishes needed to be excluded so we have made up a few of our own traditions.
We sorted out who will take responsibility for each dish and we got an idea who would be needing to use the kitchen when they will need to cook. The grocery list is easy to make with everything organized.
1) Kutia (grain dish)--- Liz
2) Borscht--- Alicia (she just might make and freeze this ahead of time)
3) Perogy Mushroom Sauce--- Bob Sr.
4) Cucumber salad--- Alicia
5-8) Pickled beet, pickles, cheese and crackers--- Me
9) Salad--- Me
10) Cabbage Roll fillings--- Me in the 2 days prior
11) Perogy filling preparation--- Me in the 2 days prior
perogy and cabbage rolls assembly and cooked--- Alicia and Emily
12) Breads and Rolls--- Me but will probably just buy them
13) Christmas Fruit cake and Baking will be already prepared as well as
Frozen from the store Cheese Cake.
Coffee, tea, hot cocoa and eggnog
It feels to good to have some decisions made.
