Wednesday

Meatless Wednesday!

I'm enjoying trying different dishes without meat. No I'm not trying to be a vegetarian, but I don't eat much meat and would like to try a variety and creative ways to cook without meat. Here's what I made tonight; A mushroom ragout over polenta (grits). It was delicious!!!

Good Eats

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!!

Ginger cookies

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!!

Wednesday

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!!!
