For the first time since September, my whole family is together to ring in the New Year!

And we lucked out, the weather has been AMAZING. What a beautiful last day of 2011!

What’s the best way to feed a household of 9? Build your own sandwiches.

We portioned out three loaves of french bread and had a free-for-all toppings bar.

My portion was layered with havarti cheese, turkey, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and avocado.

Those things are addicting. 😉

We’re keeping it pretty casual for New Years Eve. Maybe a trip to a local bar and some fireworks, but really we’re just happy to celebrate together.

Happy New Year Everyone!

What I’m Reading

December 29, 2011

I’m not sure I gave enough props to last night’s dinner. The reheated leftovers for lunch today had me licking my lips and wishing I had more.
