What are you going to eat AFTER Christmas?

I used to love the turkey soup made with the carcass. stuffing and barley...

Leftovers. I have so much prepared. Two casseroles, a fish pie etc. that we won’t starve.

I am just about to stock up to make sure I have enough food in the freezer in case I can’t get to DS on 25th or DD on 26th, as recently I have been using up old stuff in the freezer. So if I do go, my Christmas treats will still be there.

For years we ended up having a Christmas lunch day after day for a week after Christmas. This year we’re going to my daughters and I’ve said I’m just going to eat normal food the rest of the time.

Normal meals up to Christmas Eve, then the same after Boxing Day, just a couple of days with ‘extras’.
To answer the question, nothing really.

We shall eat whatever we fancy.

I am not a fan of detoxing unless on medical grounds. I have done dry January many times, but nit this year as we are going away 🍾

I always make Thai fishcakes for lunch on Boxing Day. It makes a nice change from the usual Christmas stuff.

There won't be many leftovers as DD is doing the Christmas meal (which isn't turkey) at her house. So back to normal really.

I don’t recommend the frozen veg soup Maw. I’ve just been down that road and glad I’m back to ‘proper’ food 🤣

Boxing Day will be any left over chicken and gammon, nothing will be wasted.

Then it will just be back to everyday meals, apart from my James Martin Whiskey Christmas cake, which will probably last about a week, if last year’s is anything to go by.

No desire to overeat really.

Probably no leftover turkey alas since we’re going to a dd, but certainly gammon (I’ll be cooking ours on the 23rd) and I’ve just put a nice joint of pork in the freezer to have sometime during the week after.
Plus the 2nd 🎄pud - 1st will go to DD’s. And the brandy butter, if there’s any left

Apart from all that, as far as poss no food shopping for at least a week, so using up whatever there is in fridge and cupboards, so probably plenty of my ‘signature’ dustbin soups, as my mother used to call them, and ‘going on frugals’ as she also used to say after any expensive time such as Christmas.

We've eaten far too much already this month, moments after Christmas Lunch I hope to begin 'detox' or my clothes will revolt!
