I've been channeling both of my grandmother's these past few days in an attempt to create a feast. I think I have succeeded. Here's what I have created for the first ever Cositore-Stinson Christmas Eve Extravaganza!
1. Cheese. Obviously. Provolone and beer cheddar. For the Italian and secret cheese-can lovers in us all.
Followed by: Some Mamie channeling. Two types of Lasagna (one sausage, one spinach) and Braciole. The braciole is really for Papa, but it looks SOOOO good, I wish I had more flank steak and could have made more.
Then, a taste of what else is to come. I'm making bacon green beans, roasted potatoes, and ham. Here are the roasted potatoes, pre-oven.
And, for dessert, I'm channeling Mamama, and made peanut butter balls and caramel squares, and then, I have a surprise southern upside down chocolate cake! Shhhh... I haven't made the cake yet, as it is something that has to be done last minute, but I've never had it and heard it used to be one of my mom's favorites. We'll see if I can pull it off!
And finally, I braved the Christmas Eve chaos to procure these plates and making my table look awesome! Notice the Layer Cake Malbec: Laura gave this to me at my bachelorette party, and it was phenomenal.
Merry Christmas everyone!
