[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1329021, member: 41816"] Last year I didn't bother with much - just a good steak on Xmas Day, and a case of food poisoning at a Family Party cos I had a single carby samosa. Hey ho. But this year, I'm planning a bit more decadence. Still low carb. Probably keto. These are a few recipes I am considering (hopefully with pics, if I can get them to work), just so I can [B][I]enjoy the decadent gluttony[/I][/B]: [IMG]http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/rsz_lchf_smoked_salmon_scrambled_eggs-2.jpg[/IMG] [URL]http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/2014/07/14/smoked-salmon-scrambled-eggs/[/URL] Edited to add: had these for breakfast on Xmas Day. Delicious. The cream cheese and the spinach were what made the meal special. Definitely going to have again!
