A Starlet Christmas Feast

Starlets usually try to eat right and exercise.  However holiday time they go all out!  Here are some Starlet inspired menu ideas:

Appetizers and Finger Foods

For a cocktail party or tree trimming party go for retro favorites like a Cheese Fondue and/or Deviled Eggs

 

 

… and for something sweet, try a Chocolate Dipped Fruit Wreath like this one made my Dita Von Teese

 

 

…or try chestnuts roasting on an open fire (or in your oven)

 

… and don’t forget the Christmas themed candy

 

Brunch

What would Christmas morning be without brunch (with Mimosas, of course)?… just any other morning.  So make it special.  Try a Tomato Basil Quiche (it’s so festive with the reds and greens)….

 

…along with grilled marinated peaches like these made by Dita

 

Sit Down Dinner

For a full meal, make sure you keep it interesting.  Here is a simple menu inspired by Dita Von Teese’s After Christmas Party:

Mixed green salad with goat cheese and Vinaigrette, with your choice of vegetables

 

Ravioli with Sautéed Butternut Squash and Thyme

 

Roasted Cauliflower and Broccoli

 

… or go with a classic chicken (or vegetarian) pot pie

 

… or any pasta, from spaghetti and meatballs to (my personal holiday favorite) stuffed shells

 

...or you can go all out like Dita Von Teese

“I love the big dinner—ham, roast beef; things I don’t really eat during the year—and just sort of letting loose and eating every treat: the cheese, the cookies and the candy.”

Desserts

Nothing says Christmas like red velvet cake or cupcakes

 

… or go French with a Buche De Noel or Chocolat Chaud de Noel (hot chocolate)

 

 

 

 

Stay tuned for Cocktail Time!
