Thanks to everyone for their suggestions for what to eat on Christmas Dinner. I have finally cemented my decision to go with Beef Tenderloin. I am going to my local Winn*Dixie (They do live up to their reputation as the beef people) to talk to the butcher this week. If he can get me what I want, I would prefer to order it locally. If not, I shall be purchasing it to be delivered to my house.
In other news regarding the Christmas menu, I have decided to splurge on purchase my favorite lentils. I know most of you think, crazy girl is there a difference in lentils. Believe me when I tell you this, Le Puy Lentils are superior to any other lentils. They have the perfect texture when properly cooked (Not too soft or firm, the elusive middle ground is easy to achieve with these lentils). I should also mention that they have a soft spot in my memory due to my trip to Le Puy en Velay, France during high school. I love these lentils and if I had realized that not all lentils are created equally, I probably would have brought back 50 lbs of these instead of 2. I have only had them once since high school at some fancy restaurant, where my dish was selected on the basis of eating them. They have never disappointed. (End Tangent)
I am planning on making a warm lentil salad with goat cheese for our salad. Then desert is going to be a bread pudding. I do not think I have mentioned this, but the majority of my guests are either have celiac's disease or gluten-intolerant. Therefor, this Christmas will be gluten free. Some of you are wondering how I plan on making a gluten free bread pudding, well I am using a bread machine and a mix. I have tried this mix in my machine previously and it was good. Great texture which is important to me.
Now I need to find something green to serve with dinner, probably assign this to sister in law.
What are you planning for Christmas dinner?
