In doing this for the last 45 years, since I was 18. I have deduced that it is far easier to do the big turkey and/or ham with all of the trimmings on Thanksgiving and something grand but easier on Christmas. To that end I have made Crown Roast of Pork, Standing Rib, Strip Roasts and Beef Tenderloin both as a roast and as steaks. All of which are much easier and add a baked potato and a salad and you are home free. If you want to work a little more fix twice baked potatoes ahead to pop in the oven and heat at serving time!!
This year I am tentatively planning for Christmas Dinner:
Prime Rib Roast
Baked Potatoes, both White and Sweet
Tossed Green Salad

I always make a cheese ball or two and tuck back into the recesses of my refrigerator and the family loves the home made salami too. (Recipe given 12/13/10.) There are many many more Holiday treats throughout this blog so I invite you to please look around a bit.
