Here's our little piggies having quite the Boxing Day feast!

In our house, we'll be snacking on leftovers from yesterday, and too much chocolate. ;-)

What's everyone else eating today? Anyone do any special meals or foods for Boxing Day?

A good number of years ago we started doing our big meal on boxing day so that Christmas was just for the kids, so I'm prepping the egg for the turkey right now

Started the day with a bagel and cream cheese draped with hot smoked salmon. I will follow that up with slow cooked pork adobo for dinner. In between? Beer. ;-)

We are eating tonight the same thing we had last night. clockwise from top left, cornbread pancetta and apple stuffing, mashed potato cream cheese and onion casserole, honey ginger carrots, homemade pickled turnips, melon pickles and gherkins, roasted brussels sprouts/squash/chestnuts, turkey, also not pictured: pomegranate cranberry relish, sweet potato biscuits, homemade fennel and raisin bread and pecan cranberry pie with bourbon whipped cream. It was all too good not to eat again tonight.

What time is dinner blubarry?

Blubarry you need to post recipes!

OG nice pig porn....I had 9 or 10 born xmas eve.... still trying to find them burrowed in straw. They are all doing well.

Xmas breakfast is tomorrow at the homestead. Bacon, waffles w/ home made maple syrup and eggs.

Plan to celebrate Ukranian xmas this year with perogies :)

krusty the potato "recipe" is under the mashed potato thread. Carrots are just cooked with a little butter honey and grated fresh ginger. Sprouts/squash/chestnuts are tossed with olive oil and some fresh thyme and roasted at 425 for about 20 mins. Am currently begging for the recipe for the cranberry pecan pies :)

I was alone Boxing Day - hubby and daughter had to head for Windsor for a funeral, while I had to work. So, at work, they brought in lunch (retail) - Pizza pizza and various snacky/sugary stuff from WalMart.

Dinner was pho leftover from dinner the day before (we went to Pho Bo Ga 2, and I foolishly ordered a large). Then I snacked on popcorn while perusing facebook and getting more bad family news.

I hope next year, I can manage to be a little more festive.

@ LadyIsebe-Similiar. We had an early christmas dinner before family went travelling. Chinese food christmas eve and christmas "brunch". We had pork tenderloin christmas day-easy for DH and myself.
