Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chook" data-source="post: 965455" data-attributes="member: 24561">Good thread! I've been googling recipes for some low carb Christmas goodies and I've found one for boozy double cream choc. truffles (I'll do half with brandy and half with rum)  and one for marzipan which I plan to shape in to stars or something christmasy then drizzle over some 75%+ choc.  In the bad old days I would buy Thorntons truffles and Lidl marzipan so I'm hoping my substitutions will keep me a happy bunny. On the big day I'm planning to have Lidl HP roll with cream cheese and smoked salmon for breakfast (along with a drop of prosecco)  then for dinner it'll be roast rib of beef and roast chicken (with a good sausagemeat, sage and onion stuffing), roasted cauliflower and broccoli, glazed carrots and sprouts-with-pancetta plus a rich red wine gravy and a glass or three of a good red).  Him indoors will be having roast spuds and Yorkshires with his, if he wants them although just recently he seems not to be bothering. I then plan to make some kind of splendiferous dessert - just haven't found a recipe for the right one yet.  I don't particularly want it to be chocolate and most special occasion low carb puds seem to have chocolate in it.  Luckily doing without Chrimbo pud or mincepies won't be a hardship as for the last 20 or so years they have given me the most awful heart burn, so they won't be missed. Then for supper, if I'm hungry after all that lunch, it'll be cold meat from lunch with salad and cheeses. All washed down with plenty of prosecco and G&Ts.</blockquote>
