Xmas dinner
10 Answers
We have been invited to my sisters for xmas day but she has said she does not want to cook, so will do sandwiches and crisps. I suggested we could all cook the main meal and bring it between us, so she wouldn't have to do everything. Any ideas what I could suggest, and how it would be possible to then carry the dishes the 7 miles to her house? ie- what food would be easy to do this with, and what should be avoided?

If you're not bothered about turkey and trimmings then how about a lasagne? That would just be the dish to transport and not lots of dishes.
Or Spag Bol/Chilli etc., so just the pan to transport.
Are you driving to her house? You could jam a pan in the back passanger side footwell and slide the passenger seat as far back to 'secure' it in.

LOL! Sorry, don't mean to laugh but please I love that your main concern out of all this is what dishes you can make and transport easily to her house! To me the main issue is why did your sister even bother inviting people for Xmas if she can't be bothered to cook for them!?! if she hates cooking so much, why not have it at someone's else's house, like yours? then she can walk the 7 miles instead!
You could pre-cook and carve a turkey as we always have left over turkey from Christmas Day for Boxing Day lunch.
You could also get frozen veg which just need to be zapped in the microwave like peas and beans.
Instant gravy takes no time to make.
As for roasties, you could get oven bakes ones.
Otherwise, a load of soup can just be warmed up and someone could make a large pie which just needs popping in the oven, or a cottage or shepherds pie which can be done in the microwave depending on how big it is.
A bit pot of pre-cooked stew which just needs warming is another possible with soup for starters and some lovely crusty bread.
