Christmas Menu Planning

This post is mostly procrastination to avoid the 14 loads of laundry and massive cleaning that needs to occur before my family gets here in about 24 hours.  I have made a meal plan and shopping list for our Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas brunch contributions, though.

I haven't included any links, but with any luck these will all turn out great. I will snap some pics and post proper links later.  Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Dinner:
Steak
on the grill

Brussel Sprout slaw (from Paleo Comfort Foods)
brussel sprouts sliced thinly, bacon, dijon vinegar dressing

Cranberry Orange salad (also from Paleo Comfort Foods)
fresh cranberries and clementines boiled down

Baked Sweet Potatoes and Apples (check out my last blog post)
cubed sweet potatoes, applesauce, cinnamon and butter roasted together

Christmas Morning while opening gifts:
Coffee!

Paleo Monkey Bread (Paleo Parents blog)
I can't wait to try this "healthier" version of a childhood favorite...still lots of sugar but no gluten reaction...not to mention the processed food that is a refridgerator biscuit...oh my.

Christmas Morning Brunch:
Bacon, Egg and Sweet Potato Brunch Casserole (also from Paleo Parents blog)
Just another variation on the baked egg idea, I am modifying this one a little

Paleo Pumpkin Gingerbread Cake with Maple-Vanilla Frosting (from The Clothes Make the Girl)
