What are you having for dinner/lunches/appetizers this holiday season?

It's always such a challenge to come up with meal ideas! I must have high protein foods to maintain my health because of malabsorption. If I don't eat right I become malnourished and it ain't pretty

So let's hear what you all are doing food wise this Christmas...

Any special tips you'd like to share for making the meal fun yet easy as well as tasty?

eating lots of veggie and plant protein-based dishes in advance of C. Eve and the Big Day -

spaghetti squash and pesto with roasted tomato sauce and sauteed onions, garlic and sweet peppers

braised greens (collards, kale, etc) with chickpeas, ginger, garlic, onions over quinoa

roasted root veggies (potatoes, beets, onions, carrots) with rosemary and olive oil over quinoa

For Christmas eve, Crab Cakes and Broccoli

For Christmas dinner, baked Cod with roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts with browned almond butter

trying to maintain my 50 lb weight loss, and we are also moving more toward plant based to lower cholesterol.
