I've got my whole family round on Christmas Eve, because it's the first Christmas in our own place, and I've said I'll do a little buffet for them all. But.......... I haven't got a clue what to make! I'm not the best cook (infact, I'm pretty rubbish!), so I need some easy ideas....!
Any help will be HUGELY appreciated!

I would definatly say go to Iceland - they do loads of these little bits and bobs and I think they are buy 2 get 1 free or something.

Prawn vol-au-vents, baby new roast spuds, cold meats, bowls of salad, crusty bread pate, crudites and dips, pork pie, sausage rolls, chicken drumsticks or goujons, indian/chinese nibbles, pickles, You could make rice salad and pasta salad.

definitely jacket potatoes, then have some baked beans, grated cheese for top, coleslaw, some bread, cheese, pickled onions, a quiche/pie, pork pies, carroty/veg sticks/dips, bowls of crisps.

pudding wise, do mince pies, a big pile of orange/satsumas,

simple and enjoy .....

No advice but hi to a fellow netmum!

I second Iceland. they do loads of little picky type things that you just stick in the oven. And they are really scrummy. dead cheap too.
