This update will be more of a slideshow / collection of pictures than the normal updates… the thing is.. there are just sooo many pictures of different foods… and cooking.. that an entire recipe book could be filled with a fraction of the pictures that will be featured here…
Some are family secrets… some, you couldn’t make because you likely don’t have the right equipment… but in any case, detailed descriptions won’t be given… so… enjoy the pictures…
First up… fruitcake cookies… now.. many folks don’t like fruitcake.. but these Page family cookies are delicious.. soft… a little chewiness with the fruit… and just generally awesome.
Then.. it was to the Trovato house to watch dad make Pecan Balls
Then… it was time for Cialdes …
Then, it was time for Polish Chrusciki cookies…
Then mom got into it with some Chocolate Chip cookies….
And Rachel made Buffalo Chicken dip…
and Mom made oatmeal cookies…
Then.. it was to the Page house to make Turkey roll….
and Mom made Chicken and Cream Cheese Croissants….
There was much more food of every variety…. lasagna… pork loin… ham… cole slaw.. breads of all types… Virginia and I made a banana cake… it was 10 days of ridiculousness… but… now we’re back in Boone… Virginia’s parents gave us a very generous Christmas gift that will allow us to get a new Kitchen Aid mixer… Martha gave us a very generous gift card to Omaha Steaks…. My folks gave us plates, trays, an tablecloths for entertaining… and all manners of fancy teas and whatnot… so… the food blog should be getting back on a somewhat normal schedule soon…
holy toledo, you guys are hard core chefs. Can I just hang out with you and your fam? I won't say anything. I'll just chill in the corner with a plate of food ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a typical shot of Rachel being Rachel :) HI Mr. and Mrs. Trovato!!! :) Damn, Aaron, I want to come to your house for Christmas! YUM!
ReplyDeleteRachel can not have a camera in the room without making a goofy face... there's no such thing as a candid shot with her in the room.
