if you lived near me I would definitely lol @bria

@jjsmommyjj711, girl----- come to my house lol I do all the cooking

You can get the peppers from a deli or get scalfani brand in the supermarket 😁😁

thank you @txyogagirl

@malmal20 not to many ladies mentioned cheap things and I know u said u wanted something easy and cheap I would cook a pot of beans and a pot of rice super cheap then buy toastados and let them serve theirselves u could buy lettuce tomato onion cheese sour cream jalapeños if u wanna do more make queso and guacamole with chips u could even add belpeppers as well that's all easy and cheap no meat and those veggie r affordable and easy and bean rice go long ways with lots of people. I have tons of example of that in my old post if u wanna look we have them all the time. My second option would be do beans cornbread and big pot of cabbage also super cheap

@jjsmommyjj711,

Ya I'm kinda going to force her to do more than what she is wanting to I know it sounds mean but she literally begged to use our house and said she was going to make all the food so it should be hers to handle because I am the one who paid for all the Christmas gifts this year that was my part of this whole thing because she didn't buy anything for anyone but herself and bf when she has babies in her house also because she let my sister in law run around like a banshee when she was still very very young she has also kicked her and the babies out on the street for two weeks I currently here them here with me only because she don't want to do anything but run around buying different gifts for herself so idk I'm kinda disappointed

exactly what @bria said and now I wish I was still on good terms with my aunt and her family so they could cook me some of this food lol....i guess I'll have to make them myself

thank u @bria I can't make the peppers but I can see if she will she is not really a nice woman lately she used to love me and now she is hitting menopause and becoming kind of a hag

me to @jjsmommyjj711

If she's making lasagna I would do a nice plate of bread, roasted peppers, caprese salad (fresh mozzarella tomato and basil), cubes of cheese and crackers for an appetizer, then you can have lasagna with a green vegetable and regular salad for sides, and a nice dessert assortment you can do a fruit plate, cookie plate, and some donuts or cake with coffee. I'm super Italian so I tried to think of what other people eat Bc Xmas eve is huge for traditional Italians but hope that helped you mama

your welcome i love Italian food soooo much hahaha mostly just food.

oh ok thank you @jjsmommyjj711

pasta, Italian dressing ,olives ,salami or any other Italian meat some put anchovies, tomatoes, feta cheese, parmesan cheese.. you add or take away whatever sounds right to you

@jjsmommyjj711,

what is that?

@malmal20, how about antipasto salad

thank y'all for some of the good ideas I've just been to busy to think lol

salad,bread ,salami and cheese plate,fruit plate ,you could also try to make a dip with crackers/chips

Lol ya that is my problem because my husband has a big family

ohh okay u should just get French bread cut it into slices & maybe a salad. i cant really think of anything else that would go with that entrée..

that sounds good but she is bringing drinks and lasagna I just need stuff that will go with that

also my oven broke and my mother in law knew this before telling us she wasn't cooking everything like what was planned

i'd just make a big pot of spaghetti with french bread & maybe a few sides like chicken dummies etc. & a dessert

my mother in law doesn't make a traditional meal she usually makes lasagna every time so I know green beans and deviled eggs and rolls will go good with it but that isn't enough to feed everyone
