Four (Back-to-Back) Meals of Christmas




This Christmas we had four Christmases! That meant four Christmas meals!

The first was just us on Christmas Eve. We made appys but kept it simple. The truffle goat cheese was our favourite.

The second Christmas meal pictured here was with our friend and chef, Cassie and her partner, Chris. Didn't think she could top this years Thanksgiving meal, but she came through.

Traditional made from scratch apple pies greeted us as we came over to their cozy little suite. We had a few glasses of Kalona white and red then partook in the main event- the turkey (pictured above). She had removed the brest from the bird, wrapped it completely in bacon, and then slow cooked it.... amazing!

The classic mashed potatoes and gravy and bacon stuffing was the icing on the cake. Good conversation, lots of laughs, great people, great food. Great Christmas night meal.

When we arrived in Regina on Boxing Day we were treated to slow cooked, chipotle raspberry ribs and homemade seafood dip with crackers. The main meal was ham, scalloped potatoes, and cabbage rolls. Once again we couldn't imagine it tasting any better! What was better than our third Christmas meal was spending time with the whole family on Matt's side.

The next night, the day after Boxing Day, we had a beautiful Christmas meal at the Fessers. This time garlic roast beef was on the menu, Greek salad, Italian roasted vegetables, gravy, and mashed accompanied the meat. Everything was SO good. But not nearly as fun as the crazy family game we all participated in later that night!
