A good Christmas
Saturday, December 27th 2008
It was a Good Christmas. I managed to feed my family a relatively healthy meal. We had steak, roasted potatoes, grilled brocolini, which my future sister in law and brother had never heard of, rolls, and a diabetic sugar free yogurt pie made from cool whip, jello, and sugar free yogurt. I gave them fresh veggies, fruit, and humus to snack on before the main meal.
