So it's been quite some time since my last post and...and lots of things have happened. Christmas happened! For someone that likes to cook, I'm *almost* embarrassed to admit that I didn't really do any cooking this Christmas, even though Christmas dinner was at my house.
I found a really great deal through Groupon (incidentally, one of my new year's resolutions is to buy fewer groupons....), for a 10 person fully prepared Christmas dinner from the Hotel Vancouver for $200. We just pulled up to the hotel, gave a lovely lady with a clipboard our name, and dinner was loaded into the back of the car in a box. We didn't even have to get out. This box included a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and even a piping bag of fresh whipped cream to decorate the pie ourselves - there were a couple of kids that went bananas for that part.
I had my reservations on whether or not this was a good idea, but in the end it was a GREAT idea. The food was really delicious, much better than I could have made for my first Christmas dinner go-round, and left so much more time for visiting and having fun with the family (and Christmas themed martinis). We only had to pop all the food in the over for 1 hour before serving. It was so very easy and I really can't say enough about how much I loved this experience.
I have no photos of this easy feast because I was too busy having fun :)
More coming soon xo
