Eating more vegetables and here is one dish from my new cookbook. I call it BYO, Bacon, Yellow Squash and Onion! Sometimes I add zucchini but always plenty of onions and garlic.

Christmas Eve 2011
As promised, here are a few pictures from our annual Christmas Eve open house. It was not only good, but fantastic!! Instead of an evening event, we made it BRUNCH ... Yum!!
| In the chafing dishes were puff pastry wrapped sausages with mustard and sauces on the side, and southern fried potatoes! |
| Green Pepper Jelly over Cream Cheese |
| Toast Points and crackers |
| What a view!!! |
| Shortbread cookies, chocolate dipped apricots, ginger cookies, white chocolate bark, and madeleines, oh my!! |
| Smoked Salmon (my husband smoked) Sorry, didn't get picture before it was eaten. But there were two fillets that was absolutely delicious!!! |
| Celery, carrots and dip Needless to say we had a wonderful time of sharing and enjoying friends and family!! |

Christmas is Coming!!!
Well, another year is about to end ...but first we MUST have Christmas!!! It is my favorite time of year, next to Christmas Eve. We will be having our traditional open house of treats. I don't think my family would let me get away from that! I am cooking (as usual) the Christmas Day Feast and want to try a different twist of dishes than the previous year. I'm thinking mac and cheese ...the twist will be with black truffles!!! Yes, I did say that! No ham or turkey this year, but short ribs. I will send pics and tell you how it comes out.. Three more days...in case you didn't know!!!

September's Rush!!
September was a whirlwind of a month for me and my family. A good whirlwind no doubt! September hosts my husband's birthday, our wedding anniversary (34 yrs.), and my birthday!! But on top of all of that celebrating, I had my first "official" catering gig.
I say official, because although I've catered parties for friends and co-workers, I am owning up to officially loving what I use to call a "hobby."
I catered a luncheon for a women's conference for pastor friends in Birmingham. It went very well, however, what a lot of work because I had to put extra effort in organizing things to be done because I have a two hour transport away. But what a rush!
My team and I completed the lunch boxes two minutes before lunch!! I felt like I was on Iron Chef!! Anyway, I must have impressed some folks, I had two people approach me to consider catering their weddings next year! Here we go!

Space in Time
Sorry, I realize it's been a very long time since my last blog, but I've been packing a house and moved across country. Almost out of boxes and ready to get back to it. Thanks for your patience and hoping to thrill your interests and taste buds soon. Peace
