Christmas Eve Meals, Cook them up Quick

We have always done our presents with our children on Christmas eve.  This allows us some needed family time. We often go to church, come home, eat, read the Christmas Story, open presents, and then have dessert.  As this is a celebration for me as well as the family, the meal is usually simple or take out, so that I don’t have to do a bunch of extra work.

Christmas Eve Meals,  Top Ten Meal Choices for Enjoying the Day

  • 1. Pizza
  • 2. Take out Chicken
  • 3. Frozen Food Dinner (like the Contessa World Cuisine Meals featured above)
  • 4. Subs
  • 5. Wings
  • 6. Chili
  • 7. Hot Dogs and Hamburgers
  • 8.  A casserole
  • 9. Chinese or Asian Inspired Meals (like the Contessa World Cuisine Dinners featured above)
  • 10. Mexican Food

Contessa World Cuisine Meal

stillblondeThe Chief Blonde Remarks:  I love Christmas Eve.  But of course, all my kids want something “special” to eat and I just want to enjoy myself.  Recently, I had a opportunity to sample Contessa World Cuisine Meals.  Once I tried them, I had an “Aha” moment!  I KNEW I would be serving this delicious meals for Christmas Eve.  They taste homecooked (because they are)…just like I would make without all the fuss, chopping, shopping, etc.  One bag is big enough to feed two.  So I am picking four varieties, making some rice, and BAHM!  Christmas Eve dinner.  Delicious and simple.

    I would love to try the Sesame Chicken. It looks so good and would be great for a quick meal when I really don’t look forward to cooking.

    Italian sausage rigatoni would be the closest thing to serve at the holidays since we always have a pasta as a dish.

    The Orange Chicken would be one that I would use during the Holidays to offset all of the unhealthy food that we will have on Christmas Day! Dec 28th will be the very day my family has this! It will be after all of the left overs we eat after Christmas dinner! It is so Nutritional. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays,
    June

    I wouldn’t necessarily serve it for the holiday dinner, but I’d be very interested in the Beef Mongolian for a meal sometime over the holidays. Why? Ehhh…it looks like it might taste good!

    Thanks!
