Definitely not a dinner for a stomach that is two sizes too small! Cameron cooked a Roast Beast (standing rib roast) to perfection. Shayne made Max 'n Cheese that was super decadent. We toasted the meal and being with loved ones with a Feelin' Grinchy Cocktail. But first, it all starts with an invite and menu.
The Fiesta lemongrass dinner plates are the perfect shade of Grinch! Coupe and drinking glasses from World Market. Small black-and-white ceramic frame from Anthropologie. Live Lemon Cypress Grump trees from Trader Joe's.
Cricut Grinch hands served as place cards/favors with a half domed plastic container with Hershey's Grinch kisses. There was also a Grinch package of various hot chocolate flavors with an edible candy cane spoon and freeze-dried mini marshmallows. Under everyone's plate was a card to score "Who is the Grinchiest?" Winner played Santa during the gift exchange. No surprise...Chris won that one 💚
Stink, Stank, Stunk Grinched Eggs had French onion dip, roasted garlic, and topped with Asiago cheese.
Feelin' Grinchy Cocktail was 1 oz. rum, 1 oz. Midori, 4 oz. of Sprite with a frozen grenadine heart. The coupe glasses were rimmed with lime green coarse sugar.
Max 'n Cheese was Ina Garten's famous baked macaroni and cheese recipe.
The Roast Beast was so tender and flavorful and was served with Alton Brown's horseradish cream and whiskey cream sauce from wellcookedmeal.com.
The Who Hash had to come in custom cans. I couldn't find a label that I liked, so it was off to Canva to design my own. We ate a lot of canned green beans prior to this dinner.
