Party Books and Veggie Food

This holiday season I'm a little bit nervous because the xmas dinner is going to be in our house and we are vegetarian the only problem is the rest of my family is not. So I'm getting a little bit of help between books, the food network and the internet. So I decided with my mom that she can make a her famous dish "BACALAO" is with sea food and veggies and I can make a "PESTO PASTA". I copy the recipe from Racheal Ray. So this is going to be the non-traditional part of the dinner and of course we are going to have the traditional: potatoes, salad, dessert, etc. Hope it works!

The Famous Dishes:

Top: Bacalao and Three veggie pesto pasta
Bottom: Portabello mushroom salad with parmesano-reggiano and Romeritos

Xmas Theme

Here is the theme that I'm working for the holiday season. After seeing some of Oh Joy!'s work I feel inspired to do my own cards, gift wrapping paper, tags and ornaments. I decided to go with dogs because each on of my family has a one. Some the breeds that I'm working are: Schnauzer, Chihuahua, Basset Hound and Yorkshire Terrier. So here it is!

Rocking Xmas

Walking on a winter wonderland!!!! I love that song but I'm not a big fan of holiday music so I need my songs with a twist. Here are some CD's that I may considered to buy at amazon.com for our Christmas dinner.

Stocking anyone?

Looking for the perfect christmas stocking is been really hard. I'm looking for something modern and a little bit cheap because I have a budget. Where's BUDGET LIVING when I need it so much??? Well Hostess with the Mostess recommend some great looking stokings but frankly there are to expensive for me. After searching and searching here are some of my options:

Hello There!

After giving me a break from blogging for almost a month I'm back. November has been a busy month between celebrating my birthday, my first wedding anniversary, thanksgiving and keeping up with the dogs... I'm already beat. But I have to recharge the batteries because this year Christmas its going to be at my house. I'm a little bit stress with the big production because I don't want the traditional christmas so I;m looking for a more modern festivities. Here is a little sneak peak of want I am working on!

Hallogone

Every year is the same. You expect halloween for more than six months and it happens to go so quickly. That's the feeling that Charlie Brown and Linus share with us in the "Great Pumpkin". Oh well. This year Yan and I decided to go as "The Corpse Bride" and "Jack" from The nightmare before Christmas, but we never make it to the party, he was to tired to go ( he's been working extra hard). Hopelly next year will make it and I'm already thinking of the costume: Goth couple "Marilyn and Dita".
