Happy Holidays everyone! Tonight we celebrated with individual Beef Wellingtons, Pommes Anna, and Green Beans with Pecorino-Pine Nut Gremolata. And after five days of kitchen activities for the holidays, I’m taking tomorrow off! ##ClassicsCooks #festiveaf

Merry Christmas Eve! On the menu tonight: baked stuffed clams; warm goat cheese salad with cranberries & pecans; Jerusalem artichoke bisque. I may not have baked anything, but I did finish off a batch of homemade eggnog to go with all the treats. #ClassicsCooks #festiveaf

Day 3 of holiday prep. Puff pastry (not pictured) & 2 kinds of brownies: double dark chocolate peppermint & dark chocolate peanut butter. Planning on bagel bread and butter cookies, but my partner told me to back away from the oven since there are only 2 of us. #ClassicsCooks #festiveaf #brownies

Day 2 of holiday preparations. Pepparkakor, my grandma’s cinnamon crumb coffee cake, and two loaves of cardamom-coffee-dark chocolate banana bread. And I got it all done, and the house cleaned, in time for the Bills game at 4:25. #GoBills #ClassicsCooks #holidaybaking #festiveaf

Day 1 of holiday preparations. Kanelbullar and spritz cookies, followed by pastitsio for dinner. Bonus orange-cardamom cake thrown in. We are FAF around here. #ClassicsCooks #holidaybaking #festive

I hope everyone has wonderful people in their lives who send them beautiful flowers for no reason on a cold and grey Friday. Happy weekend, y’all.
