I hope your Christmas is all things beautiful and bright. Winter Solstice was this weekend, meaning the days will only get brighter from here. It's decidedly a white Christmas here.
We're taking it easy this year, more or less. We've done so much traveling for the wedding, that it's nice to curl up on the couch with Odie at our feet and not worry whether the snow will close the airport.
But just because we're not going anywhere, doesn't mean that we're not celebrating. There are flowers all over the house. Cut flowers, cyclamen, an amaryllis, and paperwhites being forced in the basement. And I love holiday food. The week before spent making pies, fudge, mac and cheese, all the comfort food we ration throughout the year, all piled up on the table to enjoy all at once. Just for kicks, here's this year's Christmas menu:
Appetizer:
- Deviled Eggs
Main Course:
- Ham Biscuits (using the recipe for gluten-free biscuits from this book and this wonderful Virginia ham)
Side Dishes:
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Green Bean Casserole (making gluten-free substitutions as I go)
Dessert:
