Spec me Xmas Dinner

[DireEmblem]

So this will be the first year I don't go home for xmas, so I'm going to make dinner for me and my sis.

I'm currently making a shortlist of ingredients, then I will check recipes and start to collect what I need.

1) Turkey.
2) Pigs in Blankets.
3) Stuffing of some meat variety.
4) Roast Tatties
5) Mash (might skip this one)
6) Roast Parsnips
7) Sprouts
8) Carrots
9) Swede
10) Broccoli
11) Peas
12) Gravy
13) Cranberry sauce
14) Apple sauce

Trying to think what else - Yorkshire puddings maybe?

Yes, well I think the veg and meat keeps a few days, so will make enough for boxing/day after.

I just need to be careful, I only have a fridge freezer, so won't be able to get a big bird.

All sounds a bit standard roast dinner to me. I would be christmassing that up a bit.

I am also a big Jamie Oliver fan, not the man, his cooking.

I shall be doing
Chorizo and pear red cabbage Chorizo & pear red cabbage | Jamie Oliver Christmas recipes
Parmesan sprouts Parmesan Brussel Sprouts | Vegetable Recipes | Jamie Oliver
Veg megamix Roast Vegetables Mega mix | Vegetables Recipes | Jamie Oliver Recipes
Stuffing Pork stuffing | Pork recipes | Jamie Oliver Recipes
Turkey crown Turkey crown with roast garlic & pancetta stuffing recipe - BBC Good Food

Along side roast pots and pigs in blankets(lots of), maybe some peas/broccoli if wife moans about green veg.

PS, Yorkshire puddings are for Sunday dinner and are wrong.

That all sounds amazing, until I get to the Jamie Oliver bit. He didnt really do well with his restaurant chain, and you don't see him much on the tv nowadays(I vaguely remember him on a show about how chicken nuggets were made). Have you tried it before?
