The day after Christmas is my father-in-law’s birthday. Tim’s immediately family came up to the Berkshires on the 26th to celebrate. We had the delicious and festive menu below. The pork I have made before and it was even better than I remember! The bacon and the honey mustard coating gives amazing flavor to the meat. This is the first time I made the Barefoot Contessa’s Cauliflower Gratin and it was a huge hit! Who wouldn’t love cauliflower with a nice cream sauce and lots of Gruyere. I had some leftover Brussels Sprouts & Butternut Squash. The dish reheated nicely.
We finished the birthday meal with a delectable Red Velvet Cake. So moist! And the cream cheese frosting was amazing!
