In my family we all do the cooking for holidays.
This Thanksgiving I made a Pecan Pie with Maple, Bourbon Cream from a recipe I saw on a cooking blog, and I made Mulled Apple Cider with Rum.
My brother made the Turkey, stuffing, and potatoes, and his wife made a pumpkin pie.
My mother made a cranberry and pomegranate terrine and a relish tray.
For Christmas it will be the same way, with most of us doing some of the cooking. I have decided that I am going to make a flourless chocolate cake (you make and fold in meringue). Early this autumn I went hiking up into the mountains and gathered buckets full of chokecherries which I made into syrup. I'll open a jar of that and add some white wine for a sauce to pair with the cake.
It sounds like my brother will be making prime rib. His wife will make twice baked potatoes. I don't know what other people are making yet.
