Holiday Dinner Plans

To round out the week, Christmas Eve we'll do a spicy shrimp and fettucine dish that you can find by searching at Cooking Light. Very easy and cheap, yet festive. For Christmas dinner, we'll pull out the stops with a standing rib roast, a fennel and leek gratin that doesn't have a link, and green beans livened up with a chipotle butter. Friends will bring a potato dish and dessert. To start, we'll munch on lots of shrimp cocktail from the $3.99/lb sale at Sprouts, and the Cotswold with chives nearly half price at Whole Foods.
