x-post nwb; share those recipes

clicky

so i'm hosting christmas eve this year, and in DHs family... its a big deal.
They are old school Italian (as in born and raised in Italy)... so they do the traditional fish thing, I'm allergic to fish, and my SIL and BILs g/f don't eat fish.. so I'll be making chicken cutlet and possibly a small ham...

I'm feeding 14 adults and 3 children.
MIL is making the fish dishes.
my mother is bringing stuffed mushrooms.

I have to make a pasta as well.

so I need ideas.

Also, I need recipes for appetizers and side dishes.

already on the list:

apps:
spinach dip
onion dip
reindeer chow
chips
Sopressata
cheese spread
stuffed mushrooms
seafood salad
pigs in a blanket

sides:
green beans
peas
potato croquet
stuffing
fried calamari
rice balls

main:
fish stuff- baccala, shrimp, etc.
pasta and seafood mix
chicken cutlet
small ham

dessert:
homemade cookies (mom made)
gonna take a shot at making red velvet cake
oreo truffles (mom made)

I THINK two of my bils are bringing cakes... but I want to make something else too


** whatever is left over is being taken to my parents house for our christmas eve party and then to my brothers for christmas day.


I also have really cute star and christmas tree shaped marshmallows, any idea what i can do with them?
