We had: 

(For 4 adults and a golden retriever who’s grandparents snuck her bites ) 

Appetizers:

- Shrimp cocktail 

- Brie baked in puff pastry

- assorted antipasto- cheeses, salami, prosciutto, olives 

 

Dinner:

  - Kale sale from Costco ( https://www.eatsmart.net/product/sweet-kale-vegetable-salad-kit/ ) 

- Store bought rolls 

- olive olive roasted new potatoes 

- Marsala glazed mushrooms

- Marinated hanger steaks and sweet Italian sausage from a local butcher ( http://www.greenvillagepacking.com/ )

 

and a “death by chocolate trifle” aka layers of chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, cool whip and crushed heath bars. 

 

  Not really a typical Christmas dinner. My father is allergic to all poultry (except eggs but including chicken stock) as well as most mild white fish and they don’t grill in the winter so this is a treat for them. My husband enjoys firing up the BGE no matter what the temp (21f) and the sides are simple so it was pretty easy all around and we were able to relax. 

 

I hope everyone enjoyed enjoyed their holiday dinner!  And I’m starting to realize the dish washing fairy won’t be showing up despite my champagne and chambord wishes! A418C531-F8C9-47EA-9886-B7111FBCBB1C.thumb.jpeg.0b557fb2f2559405f3c601c385100741.jpeg
