You can't beat roast potatoes, parsnips and lovely buttery carrots for Christmas dinner, and these simple recipes help make them even better!
1.5kg King Edward potatoes, peeled
? ? a bulb of garlic, separated into cloves and crushed with the back of a knife
? a small bunch of fresh rosemary
? salt and freshly ground black pepper
? 6 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
? 50g butter
? 2kg parsnips, peeled
? a small bunch of fresh thyme, leaves picked
? 2 tablespoons honey
? zest of 1 orange
? 1kg carrots, scrubbed
Preheat your oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7.
For the potatoes, cut them in half and parboil for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and toss around to scruff up the outside of the spuds. Toss with the garlic cloves, half of the rosemary sprigs, salt and pepper to taste, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, and 30g of the butter in a large bowl. Arrange in one layer in a roasting tin and roast for 45 minutes until golden.
For the parsnips, cut them in half lengthways, parboil for 10 minutes and drain. Toss with the thyme leaves, honey, salt and pepper to taste, 10g of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil. Lay the parsnips flat in a roasting tin in one layer, and roast for about 40 minutes until golden.
For the carrots, put them in a pan, cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Boil for about 15 minutes or until cooked. Meanwhile, pick the leaves off the remaining rosemary sprigs and finely chop them. Mix the chopped rosemary with the orange zest. Drain the cooked carrots and toss with the remaining butter. Season to taste and sprinkle with the orange zest and rosemary before serving.

You should try stuffed potatoes. The first part takes some time, but that can be done on the day before, then right before your guests arrive put them back into the oven for reheating. Paula Deen has a recipe using shrimp but you can stuff them with anything you want. I made them last year for Christmas and they were a hit. You can find her recipe on www.foodnetwork.com to use as guide. Good Luck and Happy Cooking!!

Although it's not cream based, this easy recipe is elegant looking and not the typical green bean cass. type dish. Simply cook french cut beans then mix with a little butter and sprinkle with slivered or sliced almonds. If desired, you can also add some REAL bacon bits...they're available in jars at the grocer's.
Either Green bean casserole which is on the French's onion can or just boiled carrots with butter. We do both at Christmas.
Do you have a grill? i would chop up onions, bell peppers, red, green, yellow, and use whole mushroom caps. Marinate them in a balsamic vinegarette dressing, skewer them, and grill until the edges of the veggies start to turn brown. Yummy, and healthy.
If you like asparagus, you can do the same with the asparagus, marinate, then use a grill insert for veggies (stir fry pan), can get disposable ones in grocery (have holes in them).....place the asparagus on the pan, and keep turning every so often until they wilt a little, edges brown. Can be served hot or cold. Really good, but some may not like asparagus.
Birdseye Steamfresh green beans- heat in microwave according to package directions- chop up some mushrooms. In pan, put some EVOO(extra virgin olive oil), chop up some onion and garlic. Heat EVOO on med high, add onion, stir fry, then add garlic, stir. As the onions wilt some, add your mushrooms and green beans. Stir fry until tender. You can add salt and pepper as you are cooking as well.
