I actually did make something, the "drinky drink" Christmas Punch Sangria:
1 Orange cut up into wedges
(add 1/2 of the orange then some ice, then the other half of orange to the pitcher)
1/2 Cup of Sugar (to 1 cup if you like it sweeter)
16 oz of Cranberry Juice
1 Bottle of white sweet wine
Mix together and serve.
Other items made:
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy (made from a trial packet Watkins brown gravy) we don't normally make gravy from a packet, but we had an opprotunity to try this one.) ** see review
Cherry Wheat Bread Rolls (my husband had made them for Christmas Eve Dinner)
Watkins Brown Gravy Packet Review:
It was slightly better than gravy made from a jar or packet from the store. It was a little on the salty side, which is a trait of pre-packed sauces. Other than that it tasted like gravy, thickened up nicely, and went well with the potatoes. It would be good in pinch, or if you want beef gravy but don't have any broth or meaty bits to make it out of.
