Christmas Dinner Tips!

Hey Chums,

This year I will be having Christmas dinner with my family. We have a routine around Christmas dinner, soups, starters, the whole works! We love to make dinner a spectacle in itself and I thought I would share a few ways we make the main meal that extra bit special and pain free!

Preparation
I have prepared a list of Time Saving Tips to help with the big day!

• Buy pre peeled pre chopped vegetables for a super easy meal!
• Buy vegetables in ready to roast trays, frozen, or steam bags! 
• Buy pre prepared sauces & trimmings!
• Use a stuffing mix rather than creating your own! 
• Set out platters for a starter of things that come prepared, like salmon, croutonsand dips. 
• Savoury veg tarts are a good vegam/veggie alternative to just take out of the fridge ready to eat! 
• Cupboard desserts like panettone save the room in your fridge for the main! 
• Prepare any elements you can for the dinner the day before

Table Settings
I love to set the table! A festive table cloth, a centre piece and some candles, with crackers at every place really sets Christmas dinner apart from every other Sunday Lunch

Courses
Soup:
Tomato Soup or Lobster Bisque

Starter:
Prawn Cocktail & Smoked Salmon

Main:
Turkey Roast Dinner

Deserts:
Trifle, Jelly or Ice Cream!

Hope this gives you some inspiration for your christmas meal!
