On Christmas Eve, I will be heading up to the Boondocks to celebrate with my extended family. One of my uncles will be preparing a huge meal (that I have heard rumblings about since last year!) and requested that we all bring dessert. I have something completely audacious planned...which I am keeping a secret, in case it bombs. Plus, I don't want the cat out of the bag for those family members who read this blog!
My immediate family celebrates twice on Christmas Day. We do a huge brunch, and a huge dinner. Fasting happens on December 26!
This is what is planned...with my offerings marked with a *.

*Dutch Pancakes (they are a little special, because they have a layer of apples in them!)
*Ham and Broccoli Strata
*English Muffin Bread
