What do you feed 21 people for Christmas dinner?!
Answers: I have it every year. Past years I've done BBQ beef, lunchmeat trays, pasta, subs, turkey and just finger foods. I need a new idea!
Chicken Kabobs are a big hit. You can put fruit or veggies on them.
Honestly, I'd do either one or two hams. Ask everyone to bring something. Either that, or I'd do a takeout from someplace everyone likes!
do a turkey
do a ham
keep it to 3 courses.
maybe a riccotto starter (pasta stuffed with spinnach)
turkey and ham for main course with all the usual trimmings.
deserts the eay part
I agree with the person that said to ask everyone to bring something.
As if the holidays aren't stressful enough for most of us, then we end up stressing over what we will cook, lol!!
We do this every year because we all have picky eaters in the family so we talk about what all we want to have and we each take a few things that we will cook.
It works out great!

Tamales!! They come in pork, chicken and cheese, and they are just plain fun to eat. sides are chips, guacamole, refried beans and rice. Don't worry about picky kids. Let the little brats go hungry if they don't like it.
