An easy, nearly hands-free holiday feast

Works for Me Wednesday logo

We had my side of the family over last weekend for our Christmas get-together. One of our common bonds is food. These folks love to eat. While the meal is a big part of the celebration, I also like to have time to play games or hang out on the couch in my jammies. I had all of that in mind when I planned the menu.

What we ended up with wasn’t all that fancy, but it was definitely tasty and satisfying. Here’s what we had:

  • Pot roast
  • Mashed potatoes au gratin
  • Green beans with red peppers and shallots
  • Salad
  • Bread sticks

    The pot roast cooks all day long in the CrockPot, the potatoes can be made mostly ahead of time and the green beans come together in less than 10 minutes. And it all tastes great. I’ll be filing this whole meal away for future family gatherings!
