Lunching outside in these warm months is heaven. It’s especially great when you can take your Christmas celebrations out and enjoy not just the food, but the great views and sounds that only sitting outside can bring. It combines an escape from the heat of the kitchen with the kids running around madly making up games. An outdoor Christms is bliss.
Take a look at the recipes I am going to be cooking for my outdoor Christmas celebration. I’ve covered the dips, the sides, the main events and, of course, desserts.
Enjoy,
