Weekly Shopping List, Christmas Eve and Day
It's not easy to do a menu for the holidays. Each person and family has their own traditions and foods that must be or can't be included. I decided that I would continue to do a very traditional dinner. Take from it what you like.....
I've kept the rest of the meals relatively simple with not a lot of shared ingredients. With parties and families and other traditions I've tried to make it easier for you to pick the meals you need. I've split the shopping list to make it all easier.
