Getting Ready For A Christmas Open House

It's Here!  Christmas time!  I love the holidays and this year will be a little extra special.  We are hosting a Christmas open house with about 60 guests and I have been a busy little elf decorating the house, buying food, and setting up the two bars.  I hope I find time to take some photos with the food set out and bars set up to post later.  

Thanksgiving Table Setting

Happy Thanksgiving From New England Fine Living!  I thought I would take a moment in between baking and cooking to post these photos of a table I decorated.  I actually did two coordinating tables.  One for the adults and one for the teens.  

What fun this was!  Below is where I started.  A beautiful dining room table with the table pad in place. 

Glitter Truck Centerpieces For A Christmas Party

Here is a unique idea for a Christmas party.  Large glittered trucks used as a centerpiece.  Can you imagine all of the other things you can use glitter on?  Oh My!

Here is a video tutorial of how I made these glitter trucks for centerpieces.  

Homemade Apple Pie Recipe

My first apple pie of the season!  I was looking forward to making this and trust me, I barely had time to take photos before it got inhaled by 4 men.  At least I got a small slice!  For the recipe, please go to the Apple Pie Recipe page of my web site. http://www.newenglandfineliving.com/Apple-Pie-Recipe-Homemade.html

All the fixings for the apple pie recipe

Brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg

Fresh squeezed lemon to coat the apples (so they don't turn brown).  You can use bottled lemon juice too.

Apples sliced thin.  Mixing apple types is extra yummy!  Cortlands are a great apple to use.

Since my time was limited, I used a store bought pie crust

Place the apple mixture into the pie crust

Dot the apple mixture with salted butter

Steam holes.... I made mine with love

Brush the crust with a beaten egg to make a golden brown crust and sprinkle with sugar.

The day I purchased the items for this apple pie, my daughter and boyfriend were with me. I sent them home with their own "Apple Pie Kit" and I just received a photo oh her very first apple pie!
