Merry Christmas Everyone!
Here we go with the two best dinners of the year!
That's right Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Fasten your seat belts, but not too tight as there is a lot of food to drool over!
I think I have mentioned previously that my favorite meal
of the year is Christmas Eve dinner. My sister and brother-in-law pull
out all the stops. The sauce, the fresh pasta, the stuffed squid, the
salads and the fried fish and amazing wine pairings... see I told you
loosen up the seat belt....
Christmas Eve At My Sister's House
Homemade Pasta with Fish Sauce
Fried Baccalá Balls and Arancini di Riso
Baccalá Salad, I like the spicy one!
Broccoli!
Fried Smelts
Tilapia with Lemon Caper Sauce (I took photo before adding the sauce)
Stuffed Squid, absolutely amazing!
And Cookies....
My new favorites are the Lime Bars,
forget lemon this is the way to go!

And the star of the dinner...
Cappelletti in my sister's Chicken Broth
Eggplant and Portabello Mushroom Gratin
(Thank you Chef Darryl Moiles of The Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach
for sharing the recipe!)
I used up the tomatoes from my Dad's garden that I froze this summer.
The sauce was exceptional!
