I am trying to find something different to make for Christmas. A side dish and dessert, and maybe some treats.

Question

I need a side dish, a dessert and some treats. Yummy but yet easy to do!

Something besides the traditional side items. Also looking for a real authenic italian cannoli receipe.

Answer 1

OKay, this is the BEST SIDE you ever had..


Mash some boiled potatos, put them in a satay pan. Cut up squash into thin sticks, Fry bacon, chop into small peices, and pitch it into the mix.

Add some bacon drippings too. And heaton stove unil a yellowish color, and warm

Answer 2

well, the side dishes depend on what your main course is, but..... rice pilaf is nice and goes with all kinds of meats- there's even a frozen version that's good put out by Birds-Eye. Any veggie in cheese sause is yummy, but especially brocolli and cauliflower. You can steam some carrots and sprinkle them with cinnamon.
Desserts are easy- rice pudding is yummy, and you can often get it ready made at the grocery store. Egg nog is very festive, with some basic cookies (I like oatmeal raisin).

Answer 5

Rice Krispy treats are so easy to do and people absolutely love them! I cut them into bitesized pieces so it's easier for people to eat. Sometimes I also add nuts or raisins, etc. They go pretty fast.

Answer 6

Different from what? I am afraid it is hard to tell when one does not know what you are used to making.
