Fruit Salad

Fruit Salad OR Do it yourself Pavs (pre buy the meringues, dollop with double cream, berries in season or pitted cherries, and a swirl of passionfruit – yum! Offer other fruit if you prefer – tinned peaches are delicious with this. So is a little cointreau for the adults! Then everyone can assemble their own.)

Easy BBQ festive lunch

Avocado Shrimp Tower or The Easiest and Quickest Seafood Recipe Ever

Garlic Brie in the Weber

Lemon and Herb Bush Lamb in the BBQ (with spuds and corn)

Store bought Christmas pudding or fruit cake with My Custard

Our Gilmore Christmas breakfast

Finally, THE best (so good I sneak it in through the year) Christmas breakfast is one my husband’s family introduced to me. It’s pretty simple: Ham and eggs. Normally a fried egg, with freshly sliced ham off-the-bone. You just can’t beat it. No need to cook lots of bacon. Toast optional. Save the tomato, mushrooms and spinach for another day. Easy for home, easy for camping. Bliss!
