Help!! Christmas Dinner, I Simply Can't Decide

-
I go back and forth then forth and back.

Spicy Lemon Garlic Shrimp (The Pioneer Woman) we love this!
One minute I'm sure, the next I'm not.

Which menu do you like?

Glazed Ham
Spicy Lemon Garlic Shrimp
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Baked Beans
Pasta Salads
Lettuce Salads

Or how about a Soup Supper?

Jambalaya
Veggie Soup
Sandwiches
Chips
Assorted Cheeses
and a relish tray

Hey maybe we could even have a Chili contest!  That would be different and fun.

Then I thought of having Frogmore Stew, which is basically what some call a Shrimp Boil or Low Country Boil.

It has ear corn, Kielbasa lemons, red potatoes, clams, crab legs and jumbo shrimp.

I love i,t but think it may be hard to convince Mark to buy all the seafood it would take to feed his side of the family.  I know it would hard to convince him to buy all the seafood it would take to feed my side of the family. LOL

So, what do you think?

Or what I really want to know, is what are you having?

Raisin Pie....AN OLD FASHIONED FAVORITE

-
Image
Some of you requested the Raisin Pie recipe so here it is. I had never had a raisin pie until I married into the Gray family. Mark loved them and when I was given a bridal shower before we married, everyone was asked to bring a recipe. Marilyn Losson brought this one. I have to admit as a young wife I let it sit in the recipe box for a little while but once I took it out, it just kept coming back out. Mark's grandpa Gray loved a raisin pie and so we took this over to his house often and of course we took a half gallon vanilla ice cream along with us. When Lucas came in the other day and saw this on the counter he said the first thing he thought of was Grandpa Herman. The girls aren't crazy about this pie but Lucas likes it and he likes it with ice cream too, so I'm thinking it's a Gray man thing. Okay, so here we go, the recipe is..... 2 cups seedless raisins 2 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 Tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp. salt 1 Tbs

Here's what you need. 2 tubes (11 ounces each) refrigerated crusty French bread dough Bottle Italian dressing 1/2 pound sliced deli ham 1/4 pound Swiss cheese, halved 1/2 pound sliced deli Roast Beef 1/4 pound colby cheese, halved 1/2 pound sliced deli turkey 2 cups shredded lettuce 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced 1 green pepper, thinly sliced 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced sliced black olives sliced jalapeno peppers Take the two loaves of dough and put them seam side down on a greased pizza pan, forming a large ring and pinch the ends to seal it. Then take a sharp knife and make eight fairly deep slices across the top of the bread. Brush the top of the bread with Italian salad dressing. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. When it's done let it cool for at least 1

I shared this picture on fb and was asked for the recipe so I decided to just put it in a blog I first got this recipe from Shotgun Red.
