Christmas Day
One of the most special days of the year
I like to call this special occasion menu The Casa De Collins because like us, it’s a little bit rustic, it’s simple, a bit extravagant, and full of love. For us, it’s us on a table, and that is what Feast and Merriment is all about.
Cocktail Snack
Candied Pecans
These sweet and spicy pecans are perfect to serve with cocktails or over vanilla ice cream! They also make a great homemade gift.
Starter
Roasted Shrimp Cocktail
Good Shrimp Cocktail should be meaty, dry, and slightly briny. It should have tons of flavor all on its own.
