Christmas Eve Food

As I have a deep and abiding interest in food... I thought I'd share (show off) the goodies I made for our Christmas Eve party. This is the "goodie" table...


"Cloud" cookies (meringue with chocolate chips) in the foreground, and Spritz cookies behind.



Dipped Pretzels



Fudge with walnuts and dried cranberries



Thumbprint cookies and Soft Ginger cookies



I also made two liqueurs ~ sorry, no photos. They are cranberry liqueur and an Irish creme knock-off. The recipes for both are in previous blogs.

And in the "real" food department, I made two types of hummus ~ plain and "olive" ~ both with roasted garlic ~ turned out very yummy, and a baked artichoke dip. We served these dips with baked pita bread "chips" and fresh veggies.





My husband baked a honey-glazed ham that we put out with rolls, cheeses, and condiments. We wanted to keep it simple, so everything was finger food, and everything turned out great.
