We were 4 on Christmas Day and thankful to have the day together. We had all talked about ideas for dinner, simple is my mantra, and everyone helped out. 🙂
Menu:
Garlic Butter Lemon Shrimp
Noodles
Zucchini noodles — made with K’s tool and I soon bought my own!
marinated vegetable salad
mashed potatoes – because I love my husband and he loves mashed potatoes
Cheesecake with raspberries
The shrimp was so easy to make! And the best ever!! Best meal I’ve had in a long time!! P helped me peel the shrimp and that took awhile… we had 3#. JP cooked regular noodles and K cooked the zuke ones. I had the mashed potatoes in the crockpot.
And seriously… you know I don’t spend extra time in the kitchen… and I made this cheesecake!!
And it is gluten-free.
JP suggested raspberries for the cheesecake topping. I bought 3x the amount of frozen ones as we could have paid with buying “fresh as Illinois gets…” so all could have plenty!
There are no words for how good this was! I think K & I were stuck on our chairs unable to move after all this.
via P’s cell phone….
There were leftovers of everything — the kids had to-go boxes for a few more meals and P & I ate several more meals as well. And seriously, what is better for supper on Christmas Day than a piece of cheesecake?
and sew on...
