I am also looking for some place to go and so far, The Driskill and Trio are my top choices (although they are both buffets) that are open on Christmas Day:

Healthy Meal Planning

I'm in need of ideas for weekly meal planning that is not too much for just 2.

I am okay with having leftovers for the next day only or a dish that I can freeze & my husband can take it to work & reheat.

I am trying to reduce my waste & lose a few pounds.

Any ideas?

TIA

LV to Sedona & back again...

As mentioned, I do plan to go to Beaver Creek Brewery which I learned of from this site.
Clearly I was looking for some more information...

Thanks for the help!

Is Burger Stop (Vegas) still open?

Oooh, where might I find the Bahn Mi shop? I always have to make a drive up to Spring Mtn, when the craving strikes...

LV to Sedona & back again...

Looks like Beaver Creek Brewery in Flagstaff might be a good lunch option for our trip into Sedona.

Any other lunch suggestions along the way for our trip back to LV or vice versa?

Thanks in advance-

Sedona Farmers Market

Not to hijack this thread, but when does the Farmer's Market take place in Sedona?
We'll be there next month & it would be great to visit since living in Las Vegas we lack such goodies.

Vegas sausages?

Whole Foods, Trader Joes and/or Fresh & Easy.
I assume some kind of Italian type would do?

Western Carib cruise

In regards to Roatan, that was what I suspected.
I suppose I have visions of fish being cooked right off the beach that I hand selected from a near by fisherman... : )
That would work for me.

I have been wondering the same.

Have a great trip.

Christmas Dinnerish...

In total there my be 5 of us. The tenderloin roast isn't very big & I was thinking of getting 2 racks of lamb or less. I also figured steak & eggs for breakfast the next day...

Christmas Dinnerish...

Thanks for the helpful replies thus far.

I do plan on purchasing some more sweets.

I still don't know what to serve with my veggies or beef for sure?

Since it is going to be my husband & a few friends, I figured let's not have a whole sit down meal, but rather all of the things that we like to eat & can munch on most of the late afternoon/evening. So, this is what I've come up with so far:

Assorted Cheeses- Humboldt Fog, English Cheddar, Manchego
(with fruit/membrillo paste/fig jam,marcona almonds)
***I'll add a few more my next trip to the store

Assorted Cured Meats

Marinated Artichokes

Assorted Greek Olives

Duck Pate

Crudite Platter- (figured there needed to be some veg like matter)
***I need a dip or sauce still

Beef Tenderloin Roast- Thought I'd roast it, slice thinly & serve with some small rolls/horseradish mayo or cream & arugula
***Any other suggestions?

Rack of Lamb- Cut into individual chops, served with a mint chimmichurri

Cuban Flan for Dessert

***The idea is to graze for the later part of the day, so I need things that won't be affected too greatly by sitting at room temp....

Any thoughts? Looks like I've gone kind of Spanish/Latin...
