Christmas Eve is one of my FAVORITE holidays – family, fun and lots of FOOD!! We usually do pasta and seafood on Christmas Eve and this year, I’m going for “seven fishes” – a typical Italian tradition – however, I’m putting my own twist on it bc I honestly don’t care for much of the traditional seven fishes menu and prefer seafood over fish… so here’s our menu for Christmas Eve:

Shrimp Cocktail

Fried Calamari

Clams Casino

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Pesto Scallops

Assorted Baked Fish

Shrimp & Mussels Scampi over Linguini

Baked Ziti

We’ll also have salad, bread and whatever other apps people bring. For dessert, I’m making my Gingerbread Cake (recipe coming Monday!), my sister is bringing Tiramisu and there’s sure to be lots of cookies, pastries and cannolis too! We’ll top it off with prosecco, red wine and coquito!


What are you having for dinner this Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Do you host yourself or visit family and/or friends? Whatever you do, I hope its a happy and healthy holiday for all!
