Hubby's making prime rib I'm making a tossed salad with pear gorgonzola vinaigrette garlic mashed red potatoes might make some gravy from the rib drippings green beans with butter, pepper, sliced almonds and a bit of lemon sweet rolls
my daughter is making brownies with peanut butter chips and walnuts with vanilla ice cream
It's just the kids and us so not a huge production. Just really glad we both have the day off!

Honestly we're not doing it BIG this year.
Grilled lamb chops (greek marinade with greek herb seasoning, olive oil, garlic, and lemon)
Baked Coca-cola ham (small bone in ham baked with dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, brown sugar, and I pour a can of coca-cola over it and bake un covered.)
Cesar salad with bacon
Garlic scalloped potatoes (I heat butter and flour to make a rouge, add heavy cream, and milk with 6 smashed cloves of garlic...I take the garlic out before I add the cheeses). I pour over the potatoes, bake covered. Part way through I uncover and add more cheese on top to make it brown and bubbly.
Corn on the cob or string beans
The boys might beg for my crock pot beans...I may throw them in.
Far cry from prior years lol!

what can you use if you don't have dijon mustard?
