Kris Kringle (Secret Santa) Christmas Dinner

Every year for a few years now my girlfriends and I do a Secret Santa as it was becoming too difficult and expensive to buy something for everyone and also buy presents for our family. We have a night were we get together and have dinner and fun and exchange gifts - this year it was at my house so I organised the dinner side of things on a BUDGET! {Christmas can be cruel sometimes}

I wanted something easy and no fuss so I opted for:

~ Smoked Ham

~ Roast Chicken

~ Turkey Roll (frozen)

~ Roast Potatoes & Carrots

~ Sweet Potato Green Salad

~ Bread Roll

~ Gravy

Next time I think I'll get a pre-cooked/smoked Turkey Roll because mine was pretty dry and just do the roast vegetables in my Turbo oven. We used the juices left over from the turkey to make a gravy. You could have pre-cooked prawns as well but that wasn't in my budget after I got everything else {which was too much anyway} also pre-made potato/pasta salad from the deli.

It might not be for everyone but during this busy time of year it nice to just buy and serve without all the fuss of hanging around the kitchen for hours on end :D
