Tuesday Talk: Holiday Meals

Today is Tuesday Talk!

The third Tuesday of every month Ashley and Erika do a little Tuesday Talk. 

You can blog about whatever you're interested in talking about. 

Today holiday meals are on my mind. 

I've been planning our Christmas dinner meal since the summer. 

I've tweaked it, adjusted it, deleted some items and added new items many times. 

Now I'm interested in what you all make for Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas dinner. 

Do you have any tried and true recipes that your family requests year after year? 

Last year we hosted our first Christmas dinner and while it was lovely, it was just too much!

We ran here and there all morning and day and then came home to try to make way too many dishes!

Unfortunately, the only images that I got of that meal were the three below. 

Way to busy to snap many pictures.

This year I'm trying to keep it simpler. 

I want to enjoy the day more than dreading all of the work that I have to prepare for dinner. 

Last year I was literally sweating as I ran around the house trying to get everything in place. 

So, this year I'm opting for an easier and more convenient meal. 

As of now, I'm thinking of having a lasagna dinner. 

Lasagna, salad, garlic bread, ham, Lima beans, pie, cookies, etc. 

What do I need to add or eliminate?

What holiday meals are your favorite? 

Any other holiday tips and tricks are greatly appreciated!
