Christmas Deliciousness

As it always is, Christmas this year was full of yummy deliciousness. The food festivities started with our Annual Secret Santa Christmas party that I do with my girl friends. Our spread included cheesy death corn casserole, chicken empanadas, stuffed mushrooms, caprese bites, tomato zucchini salad, some yummy dips, cookies, a Kentucky Derby pie, and lots of wine.

The next food extravaganza took place at our friend Nate's house. He had us over the eve of Christmas Eve. I brought over a bunch of the Christmas cookies I had spent all day baking and he had tons of homemade Christmas candy and cookies. It was total sweetness overload!

Christmas Eve James and I headed to McPherson to do Christmas with my family. That night we kept things simple and did chili, cornbread, and cinnamon rolls. I spent that afternoon prepping a couple casseroles which I threw into the oven Christmas morning for breakfast. I took my chances and made two things I'd never made before: a sausage and egg casserole and french toast casserole. They both turned out great if I do say so myself (note my adorable new apron).



Then for Christmas dinner my mom made a Christmas ham, prime rib, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry salad, and strawberry pretzel dessert. And Nicole brought a strawberry rhubarb pie. We definitely weren't short of food AT ALL!

This morning we did Christmas with Rory and Jen. Rory made us biscuits and gravy for brunch.

I feel like this past week I've done nothing but EAT EAT EAT! Everything has been so delicious but I think it's time for me to get my butt in gear and start working out again. Why wait until the new year?
