I love the Holiday's!!!

I love the Holiday's because of the delicious food that seams to be endlessly available at every turn.   You get to visit home and sample your Mom's homemade favorites.  This year I actually decided to make a few desserts.  My Mom wanted to taste my Sweet Potato Cheesecake, so I made one for her.  Then I made a Creme Brulee Bread Pudding to take to my in-laws for dinner.  Everyone seemed to really enjoyed the desserts.  I actually turned some folks into Bread Pudding fans.

On Christmas Eve, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and they had lobster tails on sale. I bought a few and then purchased some salmon.  Decided to make blackened salmon with Belgian Ale poached lobster tails, and Creamy herb rice.  Everything tasted really well.  My wife and I really enjoyed it!
