Red + Green Pizza

IMG_3068Blog

Tonight we were invited over to Eileen and Stephen’s house for a holiday gathering.

pizzasBlog

They had wonderful homemade pizzas for us – sundried tomato, pesto, pears, goat cheese, sausage, peppers. They were all wonderful!

Matt and I brought a crudité platter to share, which we dipped into some Trader Joe’s hummus

We enjoyed a few of their favorite brews [LOVED this Christmas Ale!]

I had my eye on dessert all evening …

These no-bake peanut butter scented double chocolate cookies Eileen made..

Plus this homemade cheesecake her friend Julie baked.

IMG_3087Blog

It was wonderful – her grandmother’s recipe – and leaned on the egg & custard side of the spectrum, which we all loved.

Matt and I also brought a few Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Treecakes!

IMG_3090Blog

The two of us shared a slice of the cheesecake, but we each ate our own cookies –

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday!

    Ack! I’m from the Cleveland area and am a die hard devotee of Christmas Ale-I’m actually celebrating NYE there. How did that delicious beer make it to a Cville party because it’s not normally sold in VA?

      hi! Stephen (my husband) grew up in Cleveland and his parents still live there. We LOVE Christmas ale ~ we make sure his parents get us a supply every year. We picked up several six packs when we visited CLE over Thanksgiving, and were happy to share with some beer lovers in VA to spread the Great Lakes goodness 🙂

        Eileen, that’s the story of my life too! I brought back some six packs of Christmas Ale from visiting my parents over Thanksgiving, and plan on bringing back more over Christmas! It’d be great to share some GLBC with you when I move to Cville full time in January! And Kath, I think you’d enjoy GLBC’s business practices-go check em out at greatlakesbrewing.com

          Laura – you are moving to Cville? Exciting! Shoot me an email (it’s listed on my blog that’s linked here) and we can definitely meet up for a drink! I’m pretty new to the town myself but am slowly learning the places with the best beer selections ~ a few even have some Great Lakes options 🙂

        I am jealous of you all! I live in Columbus, and for some reason it has been IMPOSSIBLE to hunt down the GL Christmas Ale in bottles this year (only finding it on tap at bars!). We always look forward to a couple 6 packs. At least it’s led us to doing a giant assorted Christmas ale/winter warmer tasting to find other favorites. We heard that Thirsty Dog (Akron) has a brewer who used to work at GL, and helped develop recipes at both. Their 12 Dogs of Christmas is just as good and way, way more available here.

    I had two different types of homemade pizza as well tonight…AND they were red and green! One
    (the red) was a traditional red sauce and mozzerella pizza and the other (the green) was spinach, pineapple, caramelized onion, and ricotta!

      Recipe is from here: http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2011/08/flourless-chocolate-peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies.html

      I cut down the sugar a bit and added in a ripe banana – they were still very rich, chocolaty, and plenty sweet! I think the peanut butter really ups the decadence.

        this is toooooo ironic!

        I went to your blog, Eileen, because I wanted to know what they were but couldn’t find a recipe when I got there. I almost emailed you but didn’t want to be annoying b/c not every single thing people eat or make necessarily makes their blog…so I then googled it and my site and Kath’s site came up. And I was like, well, who knows…and I wrote them off. But thought about them.

        And now…I find out you adapted a recipe of mine. Well, thank you, and the world works in mysterious ways!

        🙂

    Oh man! We live in Columbus, OH, and my husband (serious beer fiend) looooves the GL Christmas Ale, but it sells out basically immediately ’round these parts–both on tap and in bottles! Yesterday, we spied some at the movie theater, of all places, even though we haven’t seen it on tap anywhere in town in over a month. Our neighborhood bar says they sell out of it within a few days every year! Lucky, lucky, lucky you! 🙂 (And…as a native Ohioan…glad you enjoyed it!)

    Oh DESSERT! I have to tell you the post you wrote about “re-focusing” is really sticking with me this holiday season. Instead of beating myself up for indulging in some holiday treats, I am just accepting it and letting myself go for it, then balancing out with more workouts and such. Thank you for the re-focus wisdom Kath, truly!!
