And They'd Feast, Feast, Feast, Feast!

Wow! Our whirlwind holiday tour concluded this Sunday after two and a half weeks of visitors. Even though we did not travel this year, our families were kind enough to come to us to celebrate Christmas. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed cooking with each other in the kitchen. Below are some photos of all the fun meals we made and ate. Cheers!

Cookie Decorating for Kids
Kaitlyn and our neighbor decorated holiday cookies - so cute!

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo

Check out this beautiful cutting board that Go Blue Dad received for Christmas...

Spaghetti and Meatballs
Homemade sauce by G'pa Clinton and homemade meatballs by Dad and G'pa Clinton

Stuffed Pork Loin with fresh Green Beans and Biscuits
The pork loin was stuff with dried cherries, raisins, dried apricots, sauteed onion, sauteed apples, bread and nuts. We used the pan drippings to make gravy.
This meal was so good, we made it twice.


Homemade Donuts
The recipe came from The Joy of Cooking under Sour Cream Donuts.

Christmas Eve Tradition: Corned Beef and Latkes
Our families changed for the better in 2003 and the tradition of corned beef on Christmas Eve was born. We have had it every year since then and it is good! Depending on the person, you eat the corned beef with latkes (potato pancakes) or rye bread. We simmer it all day using G'Pa Clinton's special seasoning. It falls apart at dinner time.

Hope you enjoy the photos. As you can see, cooking brings our families together. I apologize for formatting errors - I'm having trouble with blogspot.

Happy Holidays!
