Especially that you can make them in advance, freeze them and bake them straight from the freezer! Dead easy, no stress (once you know how long they need in your oven!)

Some good recipes on the link Snoopsue but I won't try them they will only end up in the bin.

Totally agree Annie, no cooking for me either, we are eating out Xmas Day, other than that all my food will be from Marks or Waitrose's.
NL you said last Xmas was your last one

Enjoy from Linell.

Well agree with you there Northern Lass , you have to have ear plugs or pick a place that is mainly adults.

Hi Lin........Stop in Grannie, and do your own cooking far better than eating out especially if the Poultry ain't cooked enough.
Yours and my families never ate out........lucky to have a bird at Xmas !
Love

Re: Christmas Corner---Ideas and tips!
Mini Christmas puds are in the steamer - hope they turn out okay!! I'm planning on serving them to my in laws, it'll be their first time tasting them (and my first time making them!). I've got eight, and only need six, so I can taste test them first!!

Re: Christmas Corner---Ideas and tips!
I love Christmas day at home.
We never eat at a planned time, its always much later and always more people eating than I expect!
Will always have enough food and find a seats for them.
Noisy here mind, all the kids playing games. My Mum even joined in on a game thing. Cant think what its called is it fish or something?
But it was all shooting and things, I didnt like that.
My husband will be home this year too

Re: Christmas Corner---Ideas and tips!
They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating......
Well for a first attempt I'd say they were okay. And they can only get better after a few weeks standing around!!! (My mini christmas puds, that is). Only thing missing was a drop of custard
