it's beginning to look a lot like christmas

the coffee table is covered with wrapping supplies, the dishwasher is running for the second time today, there's almost no space left in the fridge, and chocolate cake cooling on the counter - it definitely looks a lot like christmas chez cheeky.

i am already counting down dinner and it's still two days away!

roast prime rib with thyme au jus (and how to carve like a pro)
creamy mashed potatoes
green beans with roasted shallots
gram's chocolate trifle

what's on your holiday menu this year?
