Christmas Dinner for Two
Christmas is our favorite time of year. We enjoy the time we spend with family and friends. Both of us love to buy gifts that will bring a big smile. We like to make a special meal for Christmas. We chose to make recipes that were all new to us. Don’t worry, they were tested before the big day. We also reflect on the goodness of our God. Blessings to you and your loved ones.

Baked Brie
I fell in love with this cheese immediately. It is mild, creamy, and delicious. The crunch of pecans, spiced apricot, and cranberries goes so well with the cheese flavor.

Salad with Pears and Goat Cheese
This is not a boring salad. It is full of fresh flavors, and the vinaigrette adds a nice touch. The crunch of the pecans takes the place of the usual croutons. The goat cheese adds a wonderful creamy texture to this salad. This is one of our favorite salads.

Spiced Orange Carrots
I love carrots, especially when they are in season. Of course, you can make this dish any time of year. We have tried baby carrots (our favorite), regular carrots, and rainbow carrots. They all work in this recipe. The glaze is slightly spiced and sweet, a perfect match for the carrots. This dish adds a bright visual addition to any meal.

Poor Man’s Prime Rib
Prime Rib is for special occasions, if you can afford to buy it. We are using a less expensive cut of meat. You will save money, but you will not lose out on any of the flavor or tenderness with this recipe. It was beyond awesome. The crust was perfect, it was tender, and the Au Jus was a perfect finishing touch.
