I’m back in NYC and Christmas feels like ages ago, but I wanted to post pics from the holidays! We continued our tradition of Christmas Eve dinner at my grandma’s house-per usual the night ended with all 20+ of us wearing paper crowns and reading jokes from our holiday poppers! Christmas day we headed to family friends for a marathon of eating/drinking. I was in charge of the meal this year and had so much fun cooking in a big fancy kitchen! We also experimented with fancy holiday cocktails, who knew bacon and rum went so well together?? Well who am I kidding, everything is better with bacon!

| Christmas Eve at Grandma’s |
 |
| A couple of years ago my mom forwent the real tree-I’m finally coming around to her vintage inspired Christmas |
 |
| Remember my post on Ira Yeager at the Swanson Sip Shoppe? Mom had her very own under the tree this year, and from Ira himself! |
 |
| Candied bacon and pear cocktails! |
 |
| My sparkle apron-made cooking even more fun! |
 |
| My sous chef for the evening, and bartender! |
 |
| Christmas feast! Beef Wellington, Brussels sprouts with golden raisins and pecans, and truffle mac and cheese! |
 |
| My first Cheesecake-total success! I used this recipe but cut the salt in half, it was plenty salty! |
 |
| Perfect end to a perfect night! |
It’s sufficient to say that after all this eating I am detoxing in the month of January! More pics to come of New Years celebrations and more time at home!
