tell me every detail, post 4 comments if it won't fit in one.
First we went for a jog around the neighborhood. It was wonderfully quiet. Then we drank champagne with pomagranate juice. Holidays call for champagne.
Then I made breakfast potatoes with 1 regular potato, 1/2 sweet potato, onion, 1 green pepper, salt, pepper, olive oil and 2tbsp healthy choice cream of mushroom soup. We ate them with eggs (or egg whites).
For our pre-dinner appetizer Chris made these quite delicious stuffed mushrooms from The Pioneer Woman. I would recommend everyone's husbands makes them for their wives who have now moved on from mimosas to Pomegranate Cranberry Martini's.
The main course: Fresh no color added salmon that I splurged on from Whole Foods, Gigantic Scallops that were delicious (and maybe a part of a new tradition), Wild Rice, and Roasted Asparagus.
DrinkyDrink: Pomegranate Cranberry Martini (again)
Since you asked...
ReplyDeleteBreakfast (brunch) is our tradition...a swedish egg strata w/ham and cheese, sausage balls, cinnamon rolls (a la Pillsbury) and sparkling grape juice (a long standing tradition!)
mid-afternoon snack of spinach artichoke dip
kids got PBJ for dinner (a Christmas delicacy for them - they'd love nothing more!) and for our dinner, after they were in bed, "Drunk and dirty beef tenderloin" (marinated in a soy-bourbon sauce, reduced to glaze), au gratin potatoes, steamed asparagus...and water. Alcohol-free this Christmas :) Not so healthy but OH SO YUMMY!!
We both had asparagus! hahaha. Sounds delicious Emily :)
