I just put a pumpkin pie and an apple pie in the oven for dinner tomorrow. It's beginning to smell like a holiday in here.
Dinner's main course will be Roast Cranberry Pork with Jamaican Sweet Potatoes made with fresh pineapple. I had mashed potatoes on the menu just because I like mashed potatoes but now I think I should serve scalloped potatoes or maybe even rice or macaroni and cheese. I know macaroni and cheese is a traditional Christmas dish for many families. But not mine.
But then I don't remember having pork roast for Christmas dinner before either. But it was half price and with cranberries, it will be appropriately festive.
I had broccoli on the menu too, but I think I'll change that to sauted cabbage because I'm having broccoli soup for supper tonight. I really wanted brussel sprouts but I forgot to buy them. I had applesauce on the menu, but I used the apples in the apple pie and since I'm having cranberries, pineapple, and apples in other dishes, nobody needs the applesauce.
I hope you are well fed this holiday and showered with blessings. I don't mean gifts (though those are nice too). I mean the kind of blessings that you can carry in your heart all year.
With love from my house to yours.
Merry Christmas!
May God bless you and yours.
