Happy New Year!
So due to sleeping in and it being a holiday I didn't really update the blog this morning. I didn't know what to post and I wanted it to be a little different. So if you've been following my tweets I've had 8 or 9 Christmas dinners this year. Unfortunately I didn't get pics of all of them, but I did get a few. Just wanted to show you what I've been eating.
Some of the holiday meals were home cooked and some were dine outs. I don't review anything that is homemade by friends or family...because I still want to be invited for dinners! =p But to satisfy your curiosity everything was delicious and I'm so lucky to have friends and family who can cook.

Christmas dinner with my best friend. We love cooking, we love eating, we love food! The dips we made for our crab cakes. 1) Pesto Cream sauce 2) Sweet Thai Chili with Edamame 3) Curry Pineapple Chutney with Coconut
The crab cakes we made. The only ingredient we prepared was crab meat...everything else was rummage around my kitchen and work with what we have.1) Crab cake 1: Tropical East! Coconut Curry crab cake crusted with cashews, coconut, and coconut rice crackers. Served with curry pineapple chutney.
2) Crab cake 2: Asian style! Sweet Thai Chili crab cake crusted with peanuts and honey glazed sesame cashews. Topped with Sweet Thai Chili edamame beans.

Dessert after crab cakes was Egg Nog Cupcakes!...and Mochis! You can eat those whenever!

Everything looks so delicious! You certainly ate well over the holidays! The crab cakes and the sauces you made look very good, especially the honey glazed cashews. Your creation of that turkey and filo dough looks fantastic, nice work! Eggnog cupcake, yum. Can you believe I've never had one like that? And that dessert plate from Kreation is impressive...looking forward to the review on those. Hey nice dress in the first pic too =). Hope you have a great 2010 of good eats!
