We've been making a lot of fantastic meals lately and happily, my fiance has taken an interest in cooking! We decided to push our culinary skills and make a 5-course Christmas Eve dinner. Admittedly, there was a long gap between the main course and dessert because we were stuffed and also pretty tipsy on spiced wine. Here's our menu, links to recipes found online. Most of our dishes came from the Martha Stewart Living Cookbook (2000). We roasted all of the vegetables the day before, which was a really good idea.
Drinks:
Spiced brandy wine (from Martha Stewart)
Appetizers:
Steamed artichokes with garlic butter
Mediterranean baked feta with tomatoes (from Smitten Kitchen)

Dessert:
Blueberry fool (similar recipe)
Oh, and for Christmas brunch I made Smitten Kitchen's apple cheddar scones, a favorite of mine!
