Merry Christmas and Early New Year

I had a grand plan this year, to bake mountains of cookies and pay really close attention and find one or two that were reliably good (read: that I could make without messing up). But then I got the flu, and all bets were off.

So in lieu of tons of Christmas cookies, I’m making an early new years resolution: to post at least once a week.

For now, here’s a link to a Christmas past – looking forward to sights similar to these in the next few days!

And, here are a few links to previous year’s recipes that would be good in a pinch, should you need last minute holiday appetizer ideas:

Fried Cheese with Lemon
Prosciutto Wrapped Greens
The Artichoke Appetizer

AND, here is a link to a great article by Frank Bruni. It’s about Thanksgiving, but is applies equally to Christmas, especially in my family. Thanks in advance Mom!
