I still have photos kicking around from Christmas; might as well get them out there.
For Christmas day, I hosted a brunch at our house for the family. Above, a tropical fruit granola.
Maple Sticky Rolls
Vanilla-Hazelnut Mini French Toast
Latkes
Oranges with Pomegranates and Ginger
Christmas Eve day, we spent with my mom, step-dad, and youngest sister in North Carolina. My Mom made a lovely vegetarian dish for dinner; acorn squash, filled with a sage-mashed potato and baked, on a bed of wild rice in an amazing wine sauce, which was served on wilted spinach, and served with the best reduction sauce I've ever tasted.
I never bake cut-out cookies, mainly because I hate decorating them. This year, though, I decided to go ahead. I let Matt and Alex decorate half
while I took over the rest.
This should officially put the holidays behind us. Well, except for Valentine's, and Mardi Gras, and St. Patrick's day...
This month, we're keeping things Black & White.
Our canapes, our drinks; everything in Black & White.
The party is Saturday, 20 January; today is the Last day to 'RSVP' with your entries. (thehappysorceress at gmail dot com)

Hope to see you there!

Donegal and Wicklow hanging out with buddy bear in the guest room. Duke does his patented 'sad dog' routine for us. Fluffy, looking fluffy. Donegal and Doolin...two heads better than one? In their case, it can't hurt. See what all the...
- Tasty "oops"!
It seems everyone knew what to get me for Christmas; I think I got seven or eight cookbooks this time! Matt showered me with a series of Williams-Sonoma books, which made me very happy. I've been hitting their Baking book pretty hard so far, and...
- Joey's Pizza?
(This post will make sense for only a select few; sorry.) So...a few weeks back, I had this terrible craving for croissants. Yes, I could make them myself. But it's a heck of a lot of work, and I had more important, Christmas cookie-y, things to attend...
