Working full-time has made the obvious changes in our daily routine, and the way we manage time as a parenting team. One of the things I miss most is the ability to carefully think out our week's meals and have the time to shop, prepare, and cook them without too much rush (maybe I'm looking backward with rose-tinted glasses on this one, but still....). So for Christmas, I wanted to really enjoy some homemade food. Food is important to me, and I knew that my holiday would mean more if I got to enjoy that aspect of it. This, of course, meant making 2 dishes each night for days and days before Christmas, but in the end I was a happy camper.
Christmas Eve:
- Baked French Toast, oven roasted bacon
- Graziano Italian sausage & cream cheese stuffed portabella mushroom caps
- Lasagna, lettuce salad with warm bacon vinegarette, garlic bread
- Boston Cream Pie
Christmas:
- Egg bake with sausage
- Smoked turkey
- Homemade cranberry sauce
- Sauteed brussel sprouts with maple glaze and roasted chestnuts
- Scalloped potatoes
- Blueberry pie
What's on your table this holiday season?
