Christmas Dinner

I'm having my first dinner party tomorrow and I'm so excited, I don't think I'll sleep! There will be about 11 of us all together and I'm a bit nervous because I've never cooked for that many people! We're having a Christmas meal and my friend Callum has kindly offered to make the starter and bring it over the road. The menu so far is as follows:

Starter

Sweet potato, lentil and bacon soup

or 
Sweet potato and lentil soup (v)

with

crusty bread. 

Main

Roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing & cranberry sauce,

or 

Nutloaf (v)

with 

Steamed carrots & broccoli,

Spicy roasted parsnips with homemade apple sauce,

Roast potatoes,

Yorkshire puddings,

& Gravy.

For dessert, everyone will just bring along something for the group to share (i.e. cheese & crackers, mince pies, cheesecake). Hopefully we'll take some pictures and I'll be able to put some recipes on my food blog when it's ready to be re-launched in the New Year. Wish me luck!
