Blessings for the New Year ~Holiday Weekend ~We’ve Been Eating Like Royalty

We Empty Nesters have enjoyed a Quiet Holiday Week

at home and we have loved the Photos and

FaceTime calls from our family.

While Jack’s Mama was preparing dinner,

Jack and his Aunty Emily entertained themselves

by calling Gigi and Papa.

We had significant snowfall earlier in the week...

...which called for a skillet of comfort food, Gigi’s Goulash.

No, I don’t think that the Royalty eat Goulash very often.

These Cranberry Brie Bites are perfect for the holidays.

The colors look like Christmas and it’s a perfect way to finish

the leftover Cranberry Sauce that you made for Thanksgiving.

To ring in the New Year,

Hubby prepared Lobster Tails on the Grill.

I had seen the Williams Sonoma Instagram post

for these Crispy Roasted Potatoes. 

Lobster Tails on the Grill have been our favorite way

to prepare them, even if there’s snow on the patio.

Hubby had to shovel a path to the grill, but it was worth it!

Yesterday, while working out in the Man Cave,

Hubby put some Wings in his Smoker.

My contribution to the meal was this

Cheddar & Mozzarella Cheese Garlic French Bread Loaf.

Every year one of my New Years Resolutions is to always

have something green on our dinner plate.

Even when we are having Tailgating Snacks

and watching Football.

Already, the first weekend of the New Year

is coming to an end.

A traditional Holiday meal with family was in order.

Turkey in the Oven

Stuffing in the Crockpot

Honey Cream Cheese Skillet Corn

Parmesan Garlic Roasted Carrots

Honeycrisp Apple Salad

A tasty flavor combination...

plus, we have plenty of food left for the next couple of days.

Here’s Hubby with his mom and sister,

celebrating the New Year with

good food and family conversation.

Sending Best Wishes for the New Year

filled with love and friendship,

health and happiness,

prosperity and much success.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Stay safe and well.

Take care,

~Natalie
