Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day and have been able to have an enjoyable long weekend (apart from those enormous hailstones and storms in Melbourne).
Our Christmas Day was very enjoyablel. Our Oscar-friendly menu went down very well, with the only things not suitable being the prawns (sulphates) and the salads and desserts that other family members provided. Having gone to all that effort, however, all Oscar had for lunch was bread rolls and butter! He did at least eat the cheese cake for dessert.
Here’s how our Christmas day went….
Breakfast - Buckwheat pancakes with ricotta, pancakes and fried bananas
Christmas Nibbles
BBQ Scallops
BBQ Salmon
Bacon, Egg and Potato Salad
Preservative-free Ham Nugget
Cold Roast Chicken with Sweet Potato Stuffing
Chocolate Cashew Butter Cheesecake with Sarah Lee Honeycomb and Butterscotch Icecream
Oscar's Christmas Cake
Christmas dinner was left overs (we always over cater!) and there was still more leftover on Boxing Day, so I made a Boxing Day Paella and we had it with the last of the salads – this Oscar ate!

This recipe is low chemical / failsafe depending on the meat and vegetables used. In this version I used salmon which contains Amines.
Paella is a great way to use up left over meat and vegetables, and can be made with almost any ingredients. The above ingredients list is based on what I had left over at the time. You can use any left over meat or vegetables in this recipe.
