Christmas DIY – Marshmallow & Greeting Cards

So after looking at many recipes and figuring out what I can do with my schedule, I’ve decided to try making homemade marshmallow as this year’s Christmas gift. I’ve also made some DIY Christmas cards. I hope the people receiving them will like my creations. Here are some pictures of the strawberry marshmallow and cards:

Now that this part is done, I’ll need to spend sometime drumming up a menu for our family’s Christmas dinner.Since we will be dog sitting during the holidays, I want to do make a head dishes and limit my time in the kitchen to a minimal so I can spend some time with the dog. I plan to do a rib roast for the main course but what should I serve as the appetizer and sides?  For dessert I’ll be making creme caramel. Last week I tested a recipe which turned out very nicely and it’s super easy to make. The only tricky part is to time the caramel right so it isn’t too bitter.
