I have been making notes over the last few days in order to write a post about preparing a Simple Christmas Dinner, and then out of the blue I met (in the digital sense) Robert Wall. Robert's post over at So Much More Life blew me away! I love a bit of meal planning! I then hot footed it across to Robert's blog Finding Frugality and found 'a second helping' ...

Nigella's recipe is time and ingredient consuming and the side dish of sweetcorn pudding is a little ingredient intense and too sweet ...
