Merry Christmas Eve!

The holidays means another attempt at a holiday dinner. Last year, my mom cooked up this beast of a roast beef, and it was dang diggity good. This time around, I'm cooking with my mom. Here's the proposed, diabetic-friendly menu:

Mixed Greens Salad

Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Lemon, Garlic, and Cayenne Pepper

Roasted Beets and Sauteed Beet Greens

Cauliflower Mash with Roasted Garlic, Pan-Roasted Chanterelles, and Crispy Rosemary

Grilled Tri-Tip Steak

Trio of Pan-Seared Pears and Persimmons with Honey Lavender and Fig Jam, Mascarpone-Stuffed Dates, and Sugar-Free Vanilla Ice Cream

Have a safe holiday season, and look for a post tomorrow about how everything turned out!
