Kay’s favorite holiday yummies

I can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve already. Weren’t we just celebrating Valentine’s Day??? I swear this year has flown by!

I have a confession. As many of you know, I am not exactly adept in the kitchen arena. However, it is truly sad even for me that I have not really thought through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meal planning until… um… about four hours ago.

Oh, I had some ideas. But since we’re just having a quiet Christmas at home this year (a good thing since I’m now on my FOURTH round of antibiotics since the beginning of November), it’s hard to drum up excitement to make a small family meal that’s still festive.

However, I decided to include some of my favorite holiday yummies.

Tonight we’re having chicken, prosciutto and cheese stuffed tortellini with alfredo sauce. Tomorrow morning, I’m baking cinnamon rolls for our morning gift exchange followed by brunch (which is one of the few meals I do well). I LOVE brunch. I could eat brunch three meals a day and be a happy little camper. Eggs, sausage links, pancakes, hash browns, smoothies… it is heaven on a plate, I tell you.

Christmas dinner is a little unusual, but will include chicken cordon bleu, scalloped potatoes and glazed apples and cranberries. And yes, there will be vegetables with both of those dinners, but I haven’t figured out what yet.

In addition, I finally managed to find eggnog today! Our grocery store has been out all week, hence the reason for me braving the Walmart crowds on Christmas Eve to find some.

Mmmm… eggnog…

Happy holidays to you and yours this season!
