The work project has been done now since the end of November. I've been resting and catching up on neglected tasks, but in the last week or two the wheels have started turning again. I've had some interesting recipe ideas that I want to develop further over the coming holiday. In January, I hope to have some fresh new ideas to start the new year!
In the meantime, I thought I would share some holiday menu ideas for your Christmas or New Year's celebrations. Click on each photo to link to the original recipe. Feel free to explore the blog for more ideas. The Recipe Index page is a good place to start.
