It's Christmas! It is such a fun time of year but also a time to maybe slow down just a little and reflect back on the past year and look forward to the new year.
Here's the plan for the coming week
Friday - It's Christmas Eve! My mom hosts Christmas Eve. This is a "new" tradition that we started last year and just loved it. She made it relaxing and beautiful with great food too!
Saturday - Christmas! We start with breakfast which will be Ham and Cheese Quiche, Sausage Balls, Apple Bread, and Fruit Salad. Then, after all the gifts are open we will move on to dinner. This year I wanted to do something slightly different. I priced out a few meat options and decided on a Stuffed Pork Tenderloin. For sides we will enjoy twice-baked potatoes, corn 7-layer salad, and rolls. Of course there will be desserts - A Christmas Cake and maybe a pie (or 2) -- all depends on how much cooking I feel like doing!
Sunday - It's another Christmas - this one with Darryl's family. I think I'm supposed to take some time of side or appetizer and/or dessert. At the writing of this, I'm not 100% sure what I'm taking - it needs to be easy since I'm cooking for Saturday and we have church Sunday morning. I'm leaning towards a simple cheese tray/pickle tray. and maybe a pie or trifle.
Monday - I like to keep the week between Christmas and New Year super simple. So, Spaghetti and Garlic Bread it is!
Tuesday - Tacos!
Wednesday - Pork Chops, Mac and Cheese and Applesauce
Thursday - Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Hashbrowns, and fruit
