Christmas Dinner
December 28, 2010
I forget what it takes to make a holiday dinner around here – going back through the bittersweet archives, I am even more thankful. Pic heavy – dial-up beware. The menu Christmas Eve: Pork loin roast stuffed with beef breakfast sausage, roasted root vegetables, winter squash, mashed potatoes and roast dripping gravy, & blueberry pie. Christmas Day, pork roast pot pie with roasted roots.
Just keeping it real…

I loved them all, a little bit of fall, summer and all the in between was nice to see!
That looks like a pretty fabulous Christmas to me!
Love it!!!!!
what a wonderful way to look at the process – made me smile.
Ahhhh, I needed that today! Thanks!
beautiful pics, so nice to reminisce from the comforts of my couch! Peace to all!
Oh, my, you have worked so hard all year! We forget that it’s a process, don’t we, and take for granted the work other people put in to providing food for our table when we buy it. Everything looks lovely. I especially like the way you layer sugared stars for the top of your pie. I have a star cutter and a heart cutter, and I usually use it to cut the center hole of the top pie crust with, but I really like that layered look.
What a lovely pictorial journal of the fruits of your labor!
GREAT POST! You are so right….every step of the way makes the meal on down the line! WONDERFUL POST!
Happy New Year!

I’ll take a piece of that pie! Looks yummy. My friend Jeanne and I divided the duties to make all the food preparation easier. I did Christmas Eve dinner and she did Christmas day. I took the easy way out with a ham, but she went all out with a standing rib roast, cauliflower au gratin, and a kale salad with sugar coated pecans and apples. It was really wonderful. Hope your holiday was a wonderful one. – Margy
Ooooh, I love the star-topped pie! I might have to try that some time.
What a beautiful pie! Such hopeful puppies.
Thanks for the lovely photos. I don’t know why, but I always seem to come away drooling and yearning. Emily
A year to make a meal. Only a farmer would understand.
No need to join a gym.
Note to self “gotta get me some pig cookie cutters!” Those are too cute : ) Doesn’t it feel good to know that you have produced yor own Holiday meal…such a sense of accomplishment . Love the post
I’d even come for left-overs! What’s on for new years?
And you said you don’t fuss over food! That’s a beautiful pie! Everything looks so good!!!
