Although I'm writing this post on New Year's Day ... I'm playing catch up. It's been a crazy December for me. I know there are only 24 hrs in a day, but it seems I'd been burning 28! Well, here's what I cooked for Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinner. Of course, it was all delicious (that's what the family and friends said). It was a lot of work. Let's start with Christmas Eve. We usually have every year our "Christmas Eve Table." I (with a little help) make every one's favorite and we eat and play games and eat and play games...."oh what fun it is to ...." I digress ... so here's the eve's delights. As you can see below, we did have veggies...carrots and celery with Blue Cheese Dip!!!

The mini meatball panini's are from the Mad Hungry Cooking Show. They are phenomenal! I usually don't like meatballs at all, but these are so good. I mixed ground beef and hot sausage with a few other ingredients. They were moist and very tasty!
The top cookies are made with puff pastry and filled with almond paste. The middle ones are double ginger and the bottom are my brown butter shortbread cookies. I usually make a "butt load" more for Christmas Eve, but like I said earlier....I was crazy busy! No time...no time. Okay, now let's talk about Christmas Dinner, shall we?
