we looked at our schedule and decided that today before natalie's baptism would be the best time for our Christmas "dinner." we set a goal to eat by 12, and we had blessed and were eating by 12. ps - the girls set my phone camera weird again.
in my forever quest to find new and better, i made all new recipes. this is amy's sausage-chard stuffing. i don't really like stuffing, but this was pretty good, probably the best i've ever tried, and i've tried a lot.
i also tried a new pioneer woman potato recipe. since i love her mashed potatoes so much, i figured why not?! these are duchess potatoes and i think that basically, i nailed it.
in my defense, i broiled the second pan and they looked a lot more like pw's.
nomnomnom... she was so glad i took this. ;)
my girls are total carnivores. all but laney, who generally refuses all meat. and soda. and any drink other than water and chocolate milk.
enjoying a delicious glass of bubbly martinellis. #tradition.
delaney tried the martinellis and then decided it was too "spicy."
sissy made her some chocolate milk, and that's cause for a toast!
i also made johnna's grannie carols rolls - those were not bad, but turned out more like a roll cake than individual rolls. rachel ray's southern green beans were delish, and colleen's frog eye salad was yummy as well. my only traditional dish was jolene's creamed corn.
after the brunch/dinner addie and i got ready to go to natalies baptism. it was sweet and we stayed to visit for awhile. then we went somewhere we rarely go, kmart. grabbed a few after Christmas clearance items and on to home where we had a mountain of dishes waiting for us.
beau came to visit. he ran up to me and picked me up in a huge bear hug. i've missed lexi's sweet friends. :) bath time and work and soccer time for daddy and frankie (her first game is next week!) and we're calling that a saturday!
