Christmas 2021

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope you all had wonderful time with your love ones.



This is definitely my favorite time of the year.




I did something similar from last year.
I can't believe its our second Christmas here in Missouri.

Oh how time flies.






Table decor/setting that I did.

I love it so much.
I wish I can keep it all year.


No alcohol beverage for me this year so I made this Christmas Punch for me and the boys to share.

It was so good!


Made this for the first time for our Appetizer and we loved it!


Pigs in a Blanket Wreath


Ingredients

For the pigs in a blanket:

  • 1 8 ounce-tube crescent rolls
  • 24 mini hot dogs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 2 teaspoons poppyseeds

For the dipping sauce:

  • 1 cup Dr Pepper
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Start by reducing the Dr Pepper for the honey mustard. Place 1 cup Dr Pepper in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Boil until it's reduced to 1/3 cup, which will take about 10-15 minutes. While you wait, you can prepare the wreath.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove crescent rolls from tube and separated from perforated lines so you have 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into three pieces. Stretch out one piece of dough a little and begin to roll hot dog into it, starting at the wider end. Repeat with rest of dogs.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Arrange wrapped pigs into a wreath shape on prepared baking sheet. Whisk large egg and teaspoon of water together in a small bowl. Brush mixture onto wreath, covering all of the dough. Sprinkle on some salt and poppy seeds. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
  • Dr Pepper should be reduced by now. Remove from pan and place in a small cup to cool. I place mine in the fridge to help it cool down faster. Once cool, add two tablespoons of the reduction to the rest of the dipping sauce ingredients. Whisk together to combine.
  • Place dipping sauce in a ramekin and place in the center of the wreath. Garnish wreath with rosemary leaves, if desired.




Of course,
My favorite Pancit Bihon.



Hubby made Prime Rib.
He made one for the first time last year and it was too good not to make some again!








It was such an amazing Christmas Dinner!!! 








Another Awesome Christmas with my growing Family.



Sending you all love and good vibes on the last week of the year!
