Holiday Baking and gifting is a joy! That is if you a good baker. I have never been nor do I think I ever will be so I hoard recipes that are easy and great tasting. I am a firm believer in the mantra that the fewer the ingredients the better the quality of those ingredients must be. Each ingredient is part of the band and each must sing on it’s own.

Party is Over for 2017! Food
So I haven’t entered a post nor a recipe in some time now. Lots of cooking, celebrating , company and now it is time to get back on course. The party was a success. 60 guests and no one complained about the food or drink. I am sharing the menu and will share additional recipes soon. I mix do aheads( freezing and doing the day before), lasts minutes (keep these to a minimum) and a touch of store bought ( I can make marinated olives myself but why should I do it all.) I like to pick my battles. If I pick less make aheads and have to do lots of last minutes that mean I have to rely on good quality products to step in for me. I don’t like to do that 1. it isn’t mine and 2. it can cost more and then the budget is a mess. I don’t like either of those things. I can be a little on the controlling side and those both rub me the wrong way.
