Today is Christmas eve, and I feel like a little kid. I love this time with my family. I can’t wait to see their faces when they open there gifts. I just love giving gifts.
I think if my kids had to choose between a gift, or their sock and ornament they would choose their sock and ornament. Even when they were grown young men they would wake up in the middle of the night, and dump out their sock, and go back to bed until Christmas morning!! Oh such sweet memories.
I am just like the rest of you, and I have been cooking for two days to get things done. I thought I would share with you what we will be munching on throughout the day.
We are going to have:
Antipasti tray:
Veggie platter and Dip:
Fruit platter:
Pulled Bread:
Hot artichoke dip with a variety of crackers and sourdough bread:
The one pictured has spinach in it, but I use Paula Deens recipe.
The picture was too small so I used the above image!!
Just click on the link below if you would like to see her recipe. I highly recommend it and so does my family. I usually make a double recipe and they still ask for more.

We will hang out and relax, eat, visit, watch TV, eat, play games, eat, do a Christmas puzzle and eat!!
Then we will have a late dinner of comfort food:
Baked ham
Ina Garten’s Mac and Cheese
Sorry for the small picture, but I wanted you to have the link for the recipe. Another family favorite!!
Balsamic Roasted Green beans with cremini mushrooms:
For dessert Mima’s apple pie!! Definitely a family favorite!!
So there you have it!! We will be pigging out , as the saying goes and enjoying every minute of it!!
I am wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Eve full of family and friends and lots of good food!!
Merry Christmas!
