a mother of 3... that's a lot of mouths to feed! dessert, of course :) My family has always shared Christmas Eve dinner at my grandmother's house. Two dishes we always serve are mac-and-cheese and blueberry pies. Just the fact that I can put a meal together that my family actually enjoys. I grew up with a mother who rarely had the time to cook and went into marriage/motherhood with no cooking skills whatsoever.
