I invited a couple friends over for a Christmas brunch. Unfortunately, one of them was unable to come at the last minute. I thoroughly enjoyed the undivided time with my other friend, though.
I made Mini Bagel Sandwiches and fruit salad, and my friend brought a yummy hashbrown casserole. I made the bagel sandwiches as part of our soccer luncheon with family members at the end of our Fall season, and everyone loved them. I slather a thin layer of cream cheese on mini bagels and fill with a slice of meat and cheese of choice.
We finished off our meal with Brownie Pizza for dessert.
We sipped on some Flavored Hot Cider. My mother-in-law taught me a great trick. Add red hot cinnamon candies to your cider while it is heating, and you will have a delicious hot beverage! I added about 3 oz. of candies to a gallon of cider.
I made a box of Decadent Fudge as a Christmas favor for my friend. This recipe turned out superbly. I do not have a microwave, so I just put everything into a large stockpot and stirred while heating the ingredients until the mixture was smooth and melted. I added pecans instead of walnuts and sprinkled the top with white, green, and red decorating sugars. The fudge is very rich and delicious and has more of a dark chocolate taste.
Nice pictures, Lis.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! The bagel sandwiches look delicious!!! And I didn't know about adding the red hots to cider... I'll have to give that a try.
