  1. What a fantastic spread you put on. A little bit of everything and delicious to boot. Cooking is so much work but well worth the effort.

  2. Fabulous! First love Aunt Sandi's napkins (and why is that so true especially at Christmas gatherings?!). Anything Le Creuset is perfect but have not see the shallow casserole (note to self; 'must reserach'). Your table looks gorgeous and full! What a treat to spend YOUR holiday with you! Thanks for letting us have a peek!

  3. From beyond my kitchen window...thank you for your lovely comments! so much work...but well well well worth it! Just made two turkey pot pies for the freezer...all the christmas food is almost gone...so quickly! :)

    Boulder Locavore...thanks for your comments!! shallow casserole is the way to go...if i had seen them before i bought my regular casserole I wouldn't have bought it...i've already used it 4 times!! it will live on the stove top, always at hand! stop by anytime! :)
