Christmas menus
Last minute shopping is a very horrible experience unless you walk towards the store. There were long lines of cars on the parking area of shops like Waitrose and Sainsburys, all waiting for a place to park. Anyway, I was initially looking for a nice small turkey but with the current prices and the fact that there will be only my son, daughter and myself who will eat it since hubby is a vegetarian, I decided to get a reasonably sized chicken.
Below are planned menus for Christmas Eve (dinner) and Christmas day lunch and dinner.
Christmas Eve dinner:
Garlic mushroom on toast
Fresh baby leaf salad
Roast pork with fruit sauce
Lemon cake
Christmas day lunch:
Fine egg noodles with veggie mince
Fajitas trio (chicken, pork and shrimps)
Pineapple flan
Christmas dinner:
Chicken with honey-lemon glaze
Roasted vegetables
Christmas pudding
Boxing day dinner:
Roast pork with fruit sauce
White rice
Vegetarian quarter pounder
Pudding topped with vanilla ice cream
Happy Christmas!

ugh! I know how you feel. I went to the store to pick up some last minute items today. The place was crazy and it was definitely standing room only. I ditched my trolley, powered through the aisles and used self checkout. I was in and out in 20 mins and extremely pleased with myself.
Your menus sound yummo! What about Christmas brekkie? That’s an important meal in my family.
Cheers! When lines are long I crab a basket and stuff everything there and queue on the fast checkout.
Christmas breakfast will always be cereals and fruit with milk for kids, hubby loves his toasted bread and coffee… i will have porridge with honey and hot chocolate this time
need to eat lightly coz lunch and dinner are very heavy …
Happy Christmas!
