This year, we are spending Christmas with my folks back in Malaysia. My mum always makes Christmas dinner really special with all the traditional works and trimmings.
I love the family time we can share over my mum’s delicious home-cooked food at the dinner table.
All afternoon on Christmas Eve, my mum would be happily bustling away in the kitchen, stirring, stewing, baking, roasting. I’m sure she loves having the people she loves most around to cook for,
But this year I thought to give her a little extra help so she would be freed up to spend a little more time with her grandkids.
So I put together this little Christmas Dinner Kit for her...
I bought a cook-in-a-bag roast chicken kit, a packet of gravy and finishing sauce for the vegies.
Packed it in a box with some pretty wrapping to add a little festive air. I also made a simple label for the kit...
Hopefully with the help of this kit, we would be able to round up a really special Christmas dinner for the whole family in a cinch!

great idea! I haven't even given any thought to Christmas dinner this year as we usually do breakfast. BBQ at the beach, nice and easy! Then the rest of the day to swim and relax. Hope you have a great one and this kit makes your mum's job a bit easier. -Aroha (for #teamIBOT)
