I am still full with so much food from Christmas. As usual, I cooked more than we could eat and everything was so good. I haven't cooked in days just reheating leftovers. Unfortunately, my kids got sick after the holidays so we're always in bed these past few days. I was also able to finish ironing a basketful of clothes.
So what did we have for Christmas?
Hubby experimented on making stuffed chicken. He successfully deboned a whole chicken for the very first time the night before. We marinated it in soy sauce and lemon and stuffed it the next day with ground pork, chopped ham, bell pepper, onions, raisins, carrots, panko bread crumbs, hard boiled eggs, salt and pepper to taste then oven baked for an hour or so.
I also prepared tempura, steak, twice baked potatoes, crispy pork hocks, baked fish, store bought hickory smoked ham and sweet macaroni salad. Too much for a family of four! We didn't have any room for our dessert/drink root beer float.
Christmas is such a fun time especially for kids and those who love food like me. But the true essence of Christmas is not on the gifts and food but our savior's birth, He who makes it all possible :D
