Christmas Eve 2011

Serve this appetizer favorite elegantly in a martini glass or casual in a bowl. Either way it will be gone in no time.

You won't be disappointed in the results of this pricy beef tenderloin. The deep wine sauce with mushrooms, garlic and shallots puts it over the top. Serve this over some mashed potatoes to mop up every last drop of that sauce.

Full of the flavors of Fall with a bit of zing from the vinegar and seasonings. Great served beside a roasted chicken. The sweet potatoes with the russet potatoes blend nicely.

Parmesan crusted on these Brussel sprouts is the perfect combination. I loved the color these got on them as they caramelized in the pan.

A beverage perfect for that summer luncheon or shower. The frozen peaches keep it cold without watering down this delightful champagne cocktail.
