holiday feasts (yes, that's plural)

And just like that, the Holiday's have once again come and gone. The only thing left to let us know they were really, truly here is a refrigerator full of leftovers, pants that feel slightly tighter than the day before, and the constant discovery of yet another piece of crumbled wrapping paper. Alas, onward and upward. Concentration now turns to the much over-anticipated New Years Eve plans. To stay or to go?

Roasting Sweet Potatoes

Fried Shallots and Sage

Sweet Potato Ravioli on Standby

Christmas Eve Meal: Sweet Potato Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter and Crispy Fried Shallots

Lingonberry Kiir Royale's (Lingonberry Syrup, Prosecco, Lemon Peel)

Potato-Fennel Gratin

Maple-Dijon Pork Tenderloin

Christmas Day Meal: Maple-Dijon Pork Tenderloin, Danish Braised Red Cabbage, Potato-Fennel Gratin, Baby Greens dressed with Parsley-Red Onion Vinaigrette

And after all of that crazy indulgent, creamy, and not one bit regrettable food, I think it's fair to say I am now following a diet that consists of raw fish and fluids. And quite frankly, not complaining.
