Hello all good people of Steemit. Christmas is still in the air.

How are you getting along after christmas? Bet your still enjoying your time.

I would like to share a late post from our christmas eve meal that i prepare my self. Though i am busy at everything, I needed to make sure we have something special on the table for eve dinner (in the philippines, we start to celebrate christmas, by 12 midnight, cook yum foods, go to church, come home to wait for midnight, then pray and eat) that is a typical Filipino family.

Our foods at Christmas

There was chicken sandwich, chesse and pineapple sticks, coconut pudding or maja blanca in the philippines and KFC chicken.

It is actually a finger foods snacks rather than meal. It was midnight so we wanted to have a light food.

I am glad to share with you the recipes if you would like to try:

Chicken sandwich

mayonnaisse
spring onion

🍡 mix it all together except the cucumber and lettuce. Spread it to bread and add your greens.

🍭 combine coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and fresh milk. Bring it to a boil.
