Holiday Cooking ... And Eating.




I am stuffed, still. The sad part about having friends and family that are awesome cooks is that they make great food. And during the holidays these amazing dishes are at their peak. Who am I to turn down good eats?




Over the past two weeks my husband and I have crammed our faces full of great stuff at brunches, dinners and cocktail parties. Here are the menus:






Brunch for 6




















Wild Mushroom Frittata










Dinner for 15




Green Salad


- we used a femily recipe but this one is not bad either


- I didn't use walnuts and I added a splash of red wine vinegar at the end


Cynthia's Corn Pie
- one of my favourite comfort foods


Honey Glazed Ham






A New Year's Cocktail Party for 15




Iceland- Icelandic Lemonade




Fish Balls with Dipping Sauce
- yummy, with crunchy panko crust




- will knock your socks off, but is gooood!

-best served warm and wrapped around the beef

-I used flank steak and sliced it instead




Newfoundland - Screech
- will clean out your pipes!


Nova Scotian Sausage




Chile - Pisco Eggnog




Empanadas
-loved all the layers of flavour






Sliders with Cheese
