Girls Night In

Last night I had some girlfriends over for dinner, for a night of gossip, laughter and fun. Even though we are all Jewish, I decided to get into the holiday spirit and invite them over for a Christmas style cocktail party. No matter what religion you are, there is something in the air this time of year that just makes you want to celebrate and eat great food.

 Here are some pictures of what I served. Feel free to email me for a copy of any of the recipes:

Baked Brie with Cranberry, Red Onion and Orange Compote

Traditional Shrimp Cocktail with Cocktail Sauce

Mini Crab Cakes with Dijon Aioli

Christmas Dinner Bites: Mashed Potatoes, Roast Beef, Gravy and Crispy Onions Served in Wonton Spoons

Mini Stuffing Cakes Topped with Roast Turkey and Cranberry Sauce

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
