Hey guys!
It's almost a week into December now, so we are well and truly in the Christmas spirit and that means food, so much food!
I don't know why, but we all (at least that I know) eat so much more at Christmas! I love it! Until I have to run it all off, but we'll leave that until January for now! haha :)
I mean how amazing does that look?! But you can't eat turkey everyday (well you could if you really wanted to) so I thought i'd share some ideas for a few other christmas snacks and desserts to make in December!
If you're having an Italian night, why not make Christmas Tree tear-and-share bread?

How about some adorable strawberry and brownie trees?

Or just some simple and yummy chocolate cupcakes?

Or some yummy grinch-inspired fruit snacks?

I'd probably even go as far as to get an edible ink pen and draw faces on the grapes, but then I am a child at heart!
There are so many different things you can make and give a christmas theme. I always associate this time of year with chocolate and roast dinners (not together!) and profiteroles. I know profiteroles aren't a christmas food, but we always have them around christmas so I always think of christmas when we have them! I mean who doesn't want a christmas croquembouche like this:

Just add a chocolate fondue and a selection of toppings and you have the perfect end to any meal! I love making profiteroles with my sister, think we need to make one of these this year!
But how about Christmas food for the big day feast?

This all looks so good. Prosciutto wrapped asparagus, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, and garlic roasted carrots with parsnips and potatoes. My mouth is watering just thinking about eating these. As a family we have a roast dinner almost every Sunday, but there's just something special about a Christmas Dinner. I think it's because you just have so much more variety in it, and you have all your family round (and you pre-order all the food from Marks and Spencers so you know it's gonna be good).
At work we just bombard each other with chocolates and each office usually has a box of chocolates of some sort, celebrations or heroes in my office if we're lucky! It's such a festive time of year, and we all come together to celebrate with food. My eyes are definitely bigger than my stomach at this time of year, and I love every second of it.
What do you love to eat most at Christmas?
