My family was visiting from Owatonna this Christmas! We had a great time talking walks in the snow with the dogs, cooking, baking, playing games, and watching movies. My sister, Rebecca, is just two years younger than me, and my brother, Adam, is just one year younger than her. Both are enjoying a break from sports and school, and we had a lot of fun together! Matt had to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but we made due. Here are a few dinner favorites:
Stuffed Mushrooms
Large portabella mushrooms, stems removed
green onions, chopped
bacon, cooked and chopped into small pieces
Parmesan/asiago cheese mix, or whatever kind of cheese you prefer, shredded
*It worked great to put the mushroom caps in with the precooked ham--it only needed to bake for one hour. The caps can them be removed, placed in a separate pan, and stuffed with the green onions, bacon, and shredded cheese. Place back in the oven to let the cheese melt.
Stuffing
Simply add celery and chopped mushroom stems to any stuffing package for extra flavor!
Green Beans
If you're into spices, pan-sear the green beans in oil and add serano pepper and 'Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy' seasoning to taste. I think they taste great when the beans are just a tiny bit burnt and very spicy!
My mom's pumpkin dessert... sorry, can't give that recipe away!
