My menu has changed a bit since I posted one back in November. Now it will be: beef tenderloin, creamed spinach (low carb-no thickener of any kind), scalloped potatoes with 2 cheeses for dh (he requested those last night), crescent rolls for dh and probably a rum cake
ETA: Now that I look at it, there’s not much I can eat but the beef and spinach lol

For Christmas dinner, my BIL is cooking. He’s roasting a chicken with traditional, seasonal veg. Mashed and roasted potatoes (which I won’t be eating) and everything will be smothered in gravy (except mine). He is also making 3 carb rich desserts. I am bringing squash casserole (thanks to Linda’s site), fauxtatoes and pumpkin dessert (not sure which one).
I am cooking on Boxing day which is the day after Christmas here in England. I cooking a ham, potato salad (for everyone but me), baked beans and devilled eggs. I have store bought sugary desserts for everyone else and I’m having Margot’s cream cheese dessert with jello and raspberry sauce. Oh, and there will be a cheese platter as well.
