A Delicious Kids Christmas Menu
Christmas is all about being together at our house. And with three children, I want a menu that is fun for them and not too complicated for me. The dishes on this menu are quick to prepare and beautifully presented. Moreover, you prepare a lot in advance so that you only have to heat up and dress up the recipe on the day itself. This leaves you time to enjoy the coziness.
I remember a Christmas when the children tasted their puff pastry stars with full attention while giggling and joking about the "Christmas bells" on their pizza. The dessert – a strawberry dessert – provided a big "wow moment." This menu is guaranteed to bring smiles to the faces at the table and less stress in the kitchen.
