Last night, we made a delicious BBQ dinner!
Since we’re going to Florida for Christmas, the girlfriend and I decided to exchange gifts early instead of lugging everything on the plane. Traveling is such a hassle these days, it just seemed easier this way. Plus, it was an opportunity to celebrate as just the two of us.
At first, we were going to make a traditional turkey dinner, but I suggested we do something out of the ordinary. Who knows, maybe this will be a new tradition? You can’t argue with BBQ right?
The menu included…
Garlic Fries and Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Arugula Salad and Caramelized Onions
It was a great meal!
I knew this because there was absolutely no leftovers
What are your Christmas traditions?

BBQ for Christmas? Why not! I think it’s sweet that you guys celebrated together and started your own tradition – there’s always time for turkey when you’re with the fam.

Yum! This looks delicious. Brussel sprouts (as much as I hate them raw) are amazing when roasted!
