Happy Christmas!

WOW! it is already Christmas Day and the joyfulness is all around. I got up to watch the Disney Christmas Special, because it is one of my favorite things to do and of course we had to prep the food!

Menu:

• Birria Tamales
• Lumpia
• Skewers
• Pork Belly Fried Rice
• Chili Beans

As much as I love eating tamales, I absolutely HATE prepping for them. The masa (for me) get’s everywhere except for where I want it to go, but I know this is a me problem. Instead of the traditional tamales, I decided to make birria tamales with the consume because the consume is one of my favorite part about the tacos. Lumpia is a must, they are like potato chips, the skewers we didn’t need but I was feeling them, pork belly fried rice just hit on Thanksgiving that I needed to make more, and chili beans because I haven’t made them in a good minute.

I did cheat and started yesterday on a lot of the food especially the beans, so everything was pretty much done by 10 am. Today, we ate in front of the tree, never took off our jammies and just enjoyed the day.

If you celebrate Christmas, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope you stay safe traveling. If you don’t celebrate, I wish you all a very magical and peaceful day!
