Christmas Menu

Take a peek into what a Christmas Menu looks like for me! As you will see, it really is a mix of “healthy” options, but also plenty of traditions that I want to leave just the way they are 🙂 I hope you find it helpful, either as a playbook for what you want or simply inspiration, as you plan your own special Christmas celebration! Enjoy and thanks for being here!

Lobster Pasta (use homemade noodles, if you are feeling really ambitious)
