I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We are up at the cabin for a few days and had a perfect day of present opening, relaxation, and of course – good food! It was also extra special this year because it was Lars’ first Christmas. Although he doesn’t understand any of it yet, it’s still so fun to start new traditions with him and have him as part of our family. He is such a joy!
I’m pretty sure I’ll be in the holiday spirit for the entire next week through New Years, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have to figure out what to make for dinner. Which means you do, too! Luckily, we have some pretty delicious options this week. We also adapted it so on New Years Eve you have a healthy appetizer option and on New Years Day you have a breakfast/brunch recipe. Fun, right?!
Have a great weekend! I’m taking the rest of the year off from blogging to enjoy some extra relaxation with my friends and family. See you next year with some more healthy recipes!
