My [Italian-American] Christmas Eve Menu


Happy Holidays!!! 
Christmas Eve in our family belongs to the Italian-Americans. That is, my mom and I are in charge of the big Christmas Eve dinner, which we do at her house. In case anyone was wondering what our dinner looks like, I wanted to publish my menu. You can get some inspiration and even some recipes in case you are planning one yourself or are just curious.

Where possible, I have linked up recipe from my blog, which I hope will help everyone! 




Appetizers:

Antipasta Spread
Cheeses
Italian Meats (Pepperoni, salami, prosciutto)
Figs
Breads 

Main Course:

Homemade Lasagna 2 ways (get the fresh pasta recipe here) 
One way we are making it is my Uncle David's recipe which we are calling "David's Straight Up Lasagna). The Other is a veggie lasagna with fresh spinach and artichokes. 
Spicy Italian Sausage 

Sides:

Mom's [amazing] salad
Asparagus
Fried Cardoons & Artichoke hearts 

Dessert: 

Chocolate Tiramisu 
Apple Pie

    The holidays are here which means that families start traveling to see relatives. Since most kids do not like to be bored, parents tied to have lots of activities to keep them occupied. At the same time, parents don't want to bring an entire house full of toys on a trip.

    The Force Awakens trailer? If you haven't heard, the official name for the droid is BB-8. He (or she) captured my eye because hello, it was adorable. There has been piles of fan art featuring the droid, and someone posted an image of a handmade BB-8 Christmas ornament on Imgur. Look:Himalayan Persian Cat
