We hosted Christmas for the first time this year and had a great time. It was a bit chaotic with three little kids, but so much fun having everyone over. We decided to make both a honey glazed ham as well as a beef tenderloin for our main dish and both were excellent. It was our first time cooking the beef tenderloin, but we followed a recipe from one of my favorite bloggers (see below) and it came out great. The mushroom cream sauce was surprisingly good, and the recipe is definitely a keeper. And for sides, we mad mac and cheese, which was requested by Tyler's brother, mascarpone mashed potatoes (the best mashed potatoes), a roasted carrots dish, and butternut squash and brussels sprouts. And for dessert, Tyler's mom made delicious pies. It was really nice having everyone over and spending Christmas together.
Beef tenderloin with a mushroom white wine sauce - so, so good.
