Trimming the Tree Dinner

Ok, yes, I am aware that there is no tree in the picture above. We do not have it up yet, hence the title of this post...I also wanted to share the fabulous job Chuck just did in renovating the fireplace. I mean, look at what it used to look like:

Didn't he do a nice job?

Alright, back to the food. I started making a nice dinner for us last year when we trimmed the tree, and decided to keep it as a tradition. The appetizers are easy enough to eat while hanging ornaments; and dinner is eaten while enjoying the newly decorated tree!

    THis is slightly unrelated, but I saw that on your comment at the "Good Things Catered" blog that you have a recipe for chocolate & coconut biscotti. Will you be blogging about that soon? Sounds yummy, so I couldn't resist coming over here to check . . . !
