Christmas dinner & Birthday cake

We hosted a Christmas Eve dinner and it turned out a great success.

I was in charge of the cooking as usual

first time making roasted beef, a 3 hrs adventure.

Tony was in charge of the cutting and testing 😉

all ready for the guests to arrive

green salad with beets, corn, spicy nuts and balsamic dressing

roasted turnip and carrots as side dish for the main course

corn empanadas as appetizer

and pearl couscous as side

We all loved how the roasted beef turn out, so tasty and tender. I’d definitely make it again next year.

dessert was an upside down pear cake

my first course

second course

and dessert

my guests were also excited for the food

After everyone left, it was time for pics and gifts

we were all surprised by what secret santa brought us! 🙂

it was a great Christmas Eve. Great company, great food and great spirit! 🙂 Shall be repeated.

The next day we celebrated my 35th birthday, a low key one, we ate leftovers during the day and noodles at night. But there was a cake and candle

having Sofia, Tony and great friend to celebrate it with me was the best part

The house was filled with LOVE and HAPPINESS!!!
