Don’t we have enough going on already? If your family celebrates like mine does, you might have a few gifts that you open on Christmas Eve but for the most part, the real deal is on Christmas morning with the kids going nuts. The big dinner comes on Christmas night.
If that’s the way you do it, take a break and treat yourself to an easy Italian dinner on Christmas Eve. No, I’m not talking about an elaborate Seven Fish Italian Christmas Eve Dinner, I’m talking about taking the really easy way out - everyone’s favorite… a big pan of lasagna.
Lasagna on Christmas Eve is something I’ve been enjoying for a while. Italian food is the perfect food for a pre-turkey and ham feast on Christmas and lasagna is even easier than most other pasta dishes.
Do you really want a mommy treat for the Christmas Eve lasagna trick? One word - Stouffer’s. Stouffer’s is totally easy and delicious and really… come on, nobody really cares about what you’re eating anyway. Everyone wants to dig into the Christmas presents!
Give yourself a real mommy treat and back off for a while. Just do some quick lasagna for Christmas Eve. In a year or two, it will be the new family tradition.
