Holiday Finale

I didn't really celebrate christmas this year other than giving gifts but I did celebrate Kwanzaa for the first time ever and i had sooo much fun.

This was my Kwanzaa table and I feel over all most of the food was pretty healthy.

The first feast I had with family was African themed.

The main dish was Ethiopian chicken and lentils. The sides were Tunisian grilled zuchinni with yogurt and cilantro, South African yellow rice, and cabbage Africano. The desserts were pineapple and coconut cake pops.

Later I cooked a Afro-Puerto Rican feast and shared it with the neighbors.

The main dish was roast pork. The sides were beans, rice, spicy roasted yams and onions, pickled green banana salad, and avocado, cilantro and red onions. The desserts were papaya and grapes.

Then the final meal was good old fashioned American style soul food.

The main dish was chicken and waffles. The sides were butter beans, candied sweet dumpling squash, Cajun boiled corn, balsamic greens and onions, and cheese biscuits. The dessert was fried apples.



I am finishing up the last of all the left overs over the next few days.



I got a new gym membership at planet fitness hoping that will give me motivation to get back into the swing of things after the holiday season. I hope everyone else had a joyous holiday season and I look forward to Chinese new year as an excuse to clean my house and eat lots of yummy dumplings.
