What are your Christmas dinner trimmings?

[MagnumAddict]

Starting to menu plan now I have final numbers for Christmas Day and realised I'm feeling a bit uninspired by my usual trimmings.

Have googled some new recipes, so far have found Jamie Oliver's Parmesan Brussels which sound nice but I always prefer tried and tested recipes from real people so would love to hear what you do

Full disclosure for the last few years I've stuck a fork in pre prepared veg, nothing wrong with that at all but now my dc is sleeping through I quite fancy having a bit more of a challenge!

Looking forward to this gravy recipe cakeninja!

So I tried the Parmesan sprouts tonight. They were good, really tasty but think I would have been just as happy with them roasted without the Parmesan. Couldn't taste the chilli, lemon or Parmesan really. Followed the recipe exactly. Sorry Jamie Oliver, your sprouts may not make my Christmas table

Jesus Christ, the amounts of food some of you are making! Wow.
Sounds very tasty though.

Roast potatoes, roast Honey and mustard parsnips, carrots(thyme and honey), sprouts with chestnuts and pancetta, peas, bread sauce, red cabbage and apple baked, sausages wrapped in bacon, prunes wrapped in bacon, chipolatas, cranberry sauce and stuffing. Delicious

I've got a great new recipe for Boulanger potatoes but I think I'm going to hold off serving those on Christmas Day and save for either Boxing Day or our NYE dinner.

This year's plan is -
*roast turkey
*roast potatoes
Carrot and swede mash
Caulli cheese
Carrots
Sprouts
Honey roast parsnips
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing parcels
Home made sage and sausage meat Stuffing.

Gravy using turkey juices, I like to add sage, rosemary, bit of bisto and onion too.
