Ukrainian Christmas Eve!

About a dozen of my closest friends and their children (if applicable) were kind enough to allow me to cook Ukrainian Christmas Even dinner for them!!!

A home full of people to feed - nothing could make me happier <3

Perogies and mushroom dill sauce - a huge hit! There were only 3 perogies left by the end of the night!

Borscht and tilapia - there was NO borscht leftover by the time I packed up leftovers for those who wanted some to take home. I hear some couples even fought over who got to eat the leftovers the next day! I think they shared :)

The rest of the meal - lazy cabbage rolls, coleslaw, kolach, pickles, olives, smoked salmon, picked herring (yum!) and kutia. There was lots of kutia leftover :S

Ben's mom made this amazing cake!!!

Finally - a mother-daughter photo - but someone's so bashful! Check out my new apron that I got for Christmas!

I love love love cooking for a large group of people like this... it's even better when a swarm of girlfriends descends upon my kitchen afterward and cleans up! It was a perfect evening, and it was worth all the time it took to prepare. Seems to get easier and less stressful every year... xo
