Christmas Day Recipes

Christmas day recipes

It’s the final rush this week with Christmas Day on Sunday.

I usually love all the build up but with two extra little ones this year it’s been just a bit too hectic and I will be very glad when it’s Christmas morning and we can relax and enjoy it (especially as I am having lunch cooked for me this year!)

Winter officially starts on Wednesday, so I wonder if we will see a smattering of snow or some beautiful crisp frosty days. They would be a vast improvement on the wild and wet weather we have been experiencing recently.

Now, it may be last minute, but it’s not too late to create a fabulous feast on Christmas day.

Just follow these wonderful recipes for a meal to remember.

Here are my favourite recipes for the big day. Have a fantastic time everyone!
