.. side dish heaven ..

I've been so sick this past week, that I haven't managed much more than semi-regular trips to the bathroom and mindless browsing on the internet. I wanted to put together a fun post on all the pretty things I've recently acquired, but that will have to wait for another day. Despite being sick, my appetite is still quite good, so I didn't mind revisiting the food that my mom and I prepared for Christmas. We made so much of it, but we usually have hordes of family/friends over for dinner, that there's not much leftover. Sad.

Cranberry Compote (in progress)...I made this first, put it aside, then forgot to serve it.

 Clam Chowder (in progress)

 Brussels Sprouts with Spicy Sausage

 Roasted Japanese Eggplant

 Ham!

 Buttered Corn on the Cob. We had a corn and peas dish as well.

 Random Salad (in progress/undressed)

 Yams (in progress/unbaked)

 Roast Beef. My little brother cooked this dish!!

 Green Beans and Asparagus with Bacon and Pine Nuts

 Turkey with the best stuffing ever. I got over-excited and forgot to photograph the whole bird out of the oven, and the food fiends were making quick work of the stuffing, so no picture of that either.

 

Munchies! 

Yay, so happy to be done cooking! I'm missing a couple side dishes and all the dessert, but you get the idea...there was a lot of food!!
