Holiday Meats

If you are like me, you are busy baking, cooking, wrapping, decorating or shopping! I am hosting a Christmas Eve dinner for approximately 30 guests. I’ve got guests that don’t eat pork, have allergies to pepper and garlic, and others who will eat anything! A little Persian food, mixed in with a little American tradition, this will prove to be an interesting night! Plus, my hubby and I are putting together gift baskets that we make every year for our family and friends. I will report on how that all goes next week.

Now if you, too, have picky eaters, or if you are unsure about what holiday meat to serve, I have several great ideas to share with you.
