Christmas Eve found all of us enjoying fun and frolicks at our local pub so we enjoyed a nice light dinner of turkey bacon and cheese quiche paired with a spinach side salad tossed with almonds and dried cranberries in a sesame vinaigrette dressing.
Christmas morning was started with a slice of coconut pie and an array of fresh fruit. All washed down with a Buck's Fizz or two...
Christmas Day dinner we enjoyed oven roasted Cornish hens, vegetable stuffing, sautéd Brussel sprouts in a blood orange balsamic reduction, and mashed potatoes.
Dessert was one of the many delicious things that came in our annual Fortnum and Mason order, the Praline Mince Pie. Which was exquisite!
Boxing Day found us hunkered down with warmth as the temperatures plummeted outside to a frigid -36 degrees! Our lovely guests that braved the elements to visit were greeted with the warming glow of a mixed savoury and sweet table. Homemade vegetable curry pies, ginger cake and my holiday baking were amongst the delectable edibles.
'Tis the season for sharing. Just a sampling of my baking which ended up leaving with some guests.
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas... holiday and hope it is continuing throughout the week. - JD
