hi friends!
whew! i took a few days off from blogging but now i'm back in action. i promise you this won't be a crazed post because i've got to get my game face on for the jets game in a few. but i mainly just wanted to see how YOU were doing and share a few pictures of our xmas feast.
deej and i were slaves to the christmas holiday and did not leave the kitchen from christmas eve till christmas day eve. we wanted to make sure everyone had bellies full of food.
christmas morning started off right with a holiday plate of english muffin with pb2 icing and an apple on the side.
i needed proper fuel for my unwrapping gifts and cooking workout.
and then the christmas cookoff 2009 began.
not before snapping a lovely shot of the pre sass-a-frass golean girls.
and then
there
was
food.
there was lemon-garlic shrimp & vegatables over whole wheat linguini
and janetha's sweet potato and goat cheese gallette (say that three times fast)

Oh wow, peppermint bark COOKIES?! I've never had any of those! I had a ton of peppermint bark though, which I love.
All the food looks fantastic. I love that you (or whoever made it) used whole wheat bread for the stromboli! That's great. I want to use whole wheat dough for my pep. bread next year, if I can find any whole wheat dough!
