Tamales!

I was so excited about making a huge batch of tamales for Christmas Eve dinner, and even MORE excited to have help! Amberly, McKinley and Izzy assisted in making the BEST tamales ever! Thanks, ladies!!

Here's a link to the recipe if anyone is interested!

We made some refried bean tamales and pork-potato tamales.

Mike started off the holiday with some egg nog (which I find repulsive. the nog, not Mike! Don't worry, even though it's produced by a whiskey distiller it is non-alcoholic)

Oh yeah, my tamales are THAT good!

The finished product:
Tamales with Salsa Verde and Tortilla Soup
