Eggplant, lamb, chicken, salmon, cod, anything in the crock pot. My favorite tradition of all is pizza on Christmas Eve. Started when our children were very small. I asked one, "what shall we have for dinner before Santa Claus comes?" and he answered, "pizza". So pizza it was, and pizza it is! Raw on the inside Cornish Game Hens. I'll never try them again, and my family has never forgotten. I was cooking for a large number. It was awful.
