We had a lovely Christmas Day with lots of good food and surrounded by friends. In fact, we even had two Christmas meals in a day!!! Christmas lunch at our friend's place and Christmas dinner at our place!! I'm sure all of us were in some sort of food coma that night!!!
Anyway, for the first time ever, I've decided to cook a traditional Christmas meal, sort of. This was our menu:
- Christmas Honey and Marmalade Glazed Ham
- Bread Rolls
- Coleslaw
- Potato Bake (cooked by my dearest friend)
I actually bought the leg of ham from Woolworths just a few days before Christmas and was frantically looking for recipes on how to glazed a ham as I've never done it before. I think I was a little bit too ambitious and was stressing myself at the same time with "What if it doesn't turn out ok?", "What if it taste yuck", and so on. Did I tell you I've never made bread rolls before too? I was trying to do a lot of things from scratch with my new Thermomix and I'm just glad everything turn out ok!!!
Also, all three of the dishes that I prepared were all made with my Thermomix. I must say, it has been used quite a lot lately and I'm absolutely loving it. It definitely has to be one of my best purchases for the year 2014.
Last but not least, happy new year to all of you!!! Wishing you lots of love and happiness. Thank you Lord for blessing me with a wonderful husband, my lovely daughter Sabina and another baby on the way. Can't wait to start the new year as a family of four.
Your Christmas dinner looks fabulous and you are very clever to make bread rolls!! I am in awe. The ham looks delicious. That's a lovely Christmas photo, and this year you will have four!! Congratulations, what lovely news!!
