To offer something different for holiday eating, I’ve planned an ITALIAN INSPIRED MENU for the event. Here are pics & recipes of what I prepared for our holiday dinner —
For added fun, we did a “White Elephant/Dirty Santa” food/cooking/baking related gift exchange. What’s a White Elephant/Dirty Santa exchange? Well, everyone who attended brought an unlabeled wrapped item they don’t want anymore and leaves with something new. More importantly, no one leaves empty handed (or hungry! ). As for the Dirty Santa, while we exchanged gifts, each person has the option to “steal” a gift that was already opened. It was a lot of fun and full of laughs!
I want to move to Chicago to come to your partys, they always look WONDERFUL!
you never cease to amaze me joelen! this holiday party looks awesome!
Wow, what a spread! My mouth is watering!
