We're cooking Christmas Dinner this year, and whilst I am massively in favour of employing a few foolproof cheats to make things easier, there are other tried and testing dishes that I'm cooking from scratch, and are easy to make in advance. Here's my lowdown.

{tastes even better after freezing} |
The cauliflower cheese below is a good one to make and keep in the freezer to whip out on Boxing Day when you're not feeling inclined to do any more cooking. It's a
Hairy Bikers recipe, but I also add an onion, use half-fat creme fraiche instead of double cream, and use any old cheese where it asks for
Gruyère. Oh and I just use normal breadcrumbs on top.

{cranberry sauce - so easy to make, just three ingredients} |
 |
{will keep for a week in the fridge} |
 |
{served in my new T.G. Green dish} |
The other recipe which I've just tried out as a good veggie option, is this
kale & mushroom lasagne - another good one to make in advance and freeze, as it tastes so much better one reheated. It's a nit fiddly the first time you make it, but becomes easier once you've been through the process a couple of times. That's what I'll be whipping up this weekend.
