Christmas Captured – Photos from our Feast

Mariel here. This Christmas was one for the books. But rather than blather on about the epic, stomach-busting dinner, the warm fuzzy family time, or the bounty of carefully chosen loot, we figured we’d show instead of tell. Here are a few of our holiday highlights – naturally, the spotlight is on the chow… Hope yours was very merry!

A little holiday ambiance

Lobster bisque

Creamy corn pudding

Herb and honey-marinated sirloin

Chocolate mint brownies

My grandmother’s incredible cheesecake

      Haha, thank you! Wish we could eat like that everyday. It was definitely WAY more of a splurge than usual – I practically rolled away from the table.

      Why thank you, Debbie! It was such a wonderful day and like Mariel, I’m sad it’s over. I was so happy to see her post with such great pics. She’s my own Christmas angel! I’m hopeless when it comes to getting my photos as crisp as Mariel’s! Hope your holidays have been filled with joy and the new year brings you health and dreams-fulfilled.

    Mary Anne and Mariel:

    First let me congratulate you on this fabulous website!!
    Using your guides, I may just learn how to cook in my “older” years.

    I have printed out several of your recipes and will try to do them justice in the new year.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR.
