Don't be a turkey at Christmas!

We all just had turkey a few weeks ago, so why recreate that same meal for Christmas?  Think outside the box and surprise your family and friends with something different for the annual Christmas meal.  I thought today I would offer a few ideas of what I might cook up....perhaps you will be a bit inspired in the kitchen.


I found this recipe for a foolproof and easy Beef Wellington....here is the link for the instructions for both.  I would serve this with some roasted broccoli (Barefoot Contessa style) and maybe some scalloped potatoes.

For desert (the best part) how about this one from Martha Stewart.  A candied pecan three tiered cake with brown butter pears!  Oh my!  I am a pie lover, but this one could convert me!

Of course there is always Chinese food and a movie!
