My Christmas Food Favourites

The two things i looked forward to during Xmas were the food and the new clothes. I won’t lie. Our parents always took us out for Xmas night shopping on the streets of Bulawayo. The late night shopping days were definitely some of my fondest family moments with my family. I chose anything i wanted for myself. As opposed to my parents doing the shopping on our behalf, for one night, we could do as we pleased. This was everything for a teenage girl.

My Mother made every Xmas special and memorable with her devine cooking and baking skills. As i grew older she always ensured that i knew my way around the kitchen and taught me almost everything i know about hosting and cooking. As a Stylist i seldom share food recipes on the Blog but since its the silly season let me throw caution to the wind and let me share the items i am so looking forward to this Xmas.

My favorite dessert was the trifle. Hands down my Mom makes the meanest dessert. So in the spirit of having fun, enjoying good food i have decided to share with you my favorite items that i am loving for Christmas. My Mom’s trifle had no berries or strawberries but it was absolutely amazing.

I LOVE TEA!!! I can have as much of it in one day i swear one of these days it will so be out of fashion. With the heat wave in SA, ice tea is a must have for this Xmas. Sometimes you do need a healthy option for your juice or liquids menu, ice tea beats the fizzy drinks anytime of the day and the more flavours you have the more both the kids and adults will enjoy it. I recommend Rooibos tea. It is the perfect tea that blends in well with flavours like peach, lemon, pomegranate, almond, garlic etc…

Lastly and not least my favorite salad lately is the Cranberry Chicken salad. Anyone who knows me well will tell you that i am not a fan of salads and fruits etc… I came across the recipe through the Rebel Dietitian’s FB page. The combination of chicken, seedless grapes, some cranberry juice and raisins is absolutely devine. Just try it and let me know what your experience is like….
