Christmas Eve menu

Every Christmas, whether by Skype or in person, my family (the Montanarella side) sits down and writes out our list for our Christmas Eve dinner.  My dad and I are the ones responsible for cooking all the food (for the most part).  Our meal is not like the typical Christmas dinner... you know,: ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, etc... Instead, we make all of our favorite foods that we don't normally eat through out the year.

Every Christmas Eve, we have orduerves while watching The Polar Express.  I made chocolate covered strawberries & black bean dip, along with shrimp cocktail and summer sausage.  It's such a fun time!

This year, Bobby got in on the action.  He came up with a genius idea to make buffalo chicken sushi!  It. Was. Awesome.  I was super impressed (as I always am) at his culinary skills.  Everything he puts his mind to in the kitchen turns out great.

The rest of our menu consisted of: Homemade Ravioli with Parma Rosa sauce, clam dip, pumpernickle boat, cheese & crackers, cheese sticks, fried califlower and stuffed mushrooms.  Mmmm, so good!
