Christmas Dinner Recipes!

Hello Everyone,

The holiday season is surely kicking in full gear, needless to say that I am extremely excited to be cooking and entertaining my loved ones during the happiest time of the year.

I already threw a small potluck-style dinner party yesterday for some College friends. Since it’s so hot in Thailand this winter, I decided to make my own winter sanctuary with a cozy winter party in the theme of silver, white, and blue. Here are some pictures:

After last night’s festivities, I am back in the kitchen again to prepare for another dinner party tomorrow for family and relatives. Here’s the menu I made for my X’mas dinner tomorrow

The recipes I will adapt from are as follows:
