What I'm Making for the Christmas Party

Every year, our friends Erika and Bryan host a Christmas party.
This year, they've sold their house and are living in a temporary location, until their beautiful new home can be built.
We were all bummed that the Christmas party appeared to be out of the question this year...until the Caldwells (our cousins who live right down the street!) agreed to host instead!


Kyle is smoking up some brisket, frying a turkey, and baking a ham.
For the record, there are only like 20 people coming. Apparently we're going protein-heavy :)


To combat this and throw in some well-needed sugary carbs, here's what I'm bringing:


Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars, courtesy of Cookies and Cups.




The Best Baked Beans Ever, courtesy The Pioneer Woman & (the other) Pam Anderson






And cranberry sauce. Courtesy - me! 1 bag cranberries, 1 cup orange juice, 2/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup dried cranberries. Cook on stovestop till it's thick and syrupy, then cool. Devour.


Hope you guys are enjoying this season!
