The one thing about Christmas that brings people together is the big meal of the year. I always look forward to feasting, as we huddle indoors around the dining table for hours on end.
Not everything has to be complicated or take several hours to make. Some items can also be bought, if you lack an oven or certain ingredients/skills. Here are some unique ideas for your Christmas feast if you still don’t know what to contribute this year.
STARTERS:
- kale chips (so easy to make, and so healthy!)
- foie gras and crackers
- cheese and crackers
- potato salad
