What's For Christmas Dinner?

[knapplc]

I'm in the same boat as Jake. Lost both grandmothers in the 90s, and I lost my mom this year. It falls on me to cook for the major holidays now, and I wish I'd had more time to learn from them. My mom's mom was the eldest of 13 kids, and the cooking duties fell on her at a young age. She was an absolute master, but of course never wrote any recipes down.

Christmas at Dad's was ribeyes grilled over charcoal, garlic mashed potatoes & gravy, fresh bread, a simple tossed salad, cornbread stuffing and the typical crudites like carrots, olives, pickles, etc.

The in-laws wanted a rehash of Thanksgiving, so it was more turkey, stove-top stuffing, cheesy beans, etc.

I lost my mom almost thirteen years ago and she always cooked the Salmon Pie, which her mother-in-law taught her to cook. My wife said this was the first time I made it that it tasted right. Only took a dozen tries.
