Awesome I love my smoker you will be eating good:)
 
It's just my hubby and I, we did the "family thing" yesterday. I will be making a ham, whole grain bread, baked macaroni and cheese and balsamic glazed brussel sprouts with panchetta. That is, if we ever stop eating all the cookies and goodies here long enough to eat a real meal! Merry Christmas everyone!
 
Roast Turkey,stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, candied yams, mashed potatoes, spinach, baked acorn squash and homemade apple pie.
 
My wife got a Honey boo boo cook book for Christmas
 
We always celebrated with my father in law/his girlfriend on Christmas eve, they moved to Florida so it was just us-ribs & chicken in the crockpot all day in bbq sauce, mashed potatoes and corn bread...pie for dessert. Today was with my grandparents who both passed, so..just us again. Eggs, cinnamon rolls and hash browns for breakfast and probably left overs for lunch and homemade lasgana for dinner (made the lasgana Sunday).

Hey, that's what we are having (for real!)

Great minds think a like :)

Decided last night, had a bunch of stuff on hand, so we were flexible.

Luckily I just found the can of blueberries I bought, other wise it was canned pineapple or frozen strawberries, (still might do the strawberries, too).The Dixette is NOT a fan of pineapple.
 
All I had to do this year was make the pumpkin pies this morning. Dinner is at my brother's.:cool:
I remember something about a spiral ham, but the rest I forgot. As long as I don't have to cook, It's good.
Maybe next year.;)
I LOVE cheesecake Dixie. Same me some....please.==c
Jack, I'd love the soup on a stick recipe. Thanks.;lol
ETA: Back from dinner. Ham, GB casserole, cheesy taters, orange jello salad, and punkin pie.
I overate.

I baked/cooked up a 10lb bone-in ham, dinner rolls, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted butternut squash, baked beans, (sorry, no pics, too crazy around the house this morning)

Family brought sweet potatoes and apples, green been casserole, various desserts.

Been drinking since breakfast, but I'm fairly certain my current condition is food related.

Can't hardly move, but gotta finish up breaking down cardboard from the kids toys and move the dinner table back upstairs into it's normal spot yet tonight. Then vodka, then bed. Better load the stove up too.

Been a good day here, hope everyone from hearth.com can say the same.

Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, gravy. All cooked and served by the neighbors down the hill. ==c And since I am the only one that loves the dark meat the doggie bag is huge.
