Am I the only person who hadn't done food prep?

[fatandhappy47]

Wide awake here, cheers peri

And I think I may be the only person who's done 0 food prep. It'll just get done today!

I made it easy and ordered a Christmas lunch kit. I just have to cook and present it.

I prepped last night

I'm awake as I get more excited than the children.

No prep done at all, so you're not alone

i haven’t prepped anything.

I always wake up super early every day of the year. So the joint is out of the fridge and I will put it in soon. But have done nothing so far.

i have breakfast to do first. I will do the meat soon so there’s more oven space later. It can cook while the kids re opening the presents.

But to be fair it’s dinner for 4 of us. We make more out of Christmas Eve dinner.

The only years I do food prep is if we are having Greek food. Then lots of it goes into marinate the day before

No prep done here 😂 2 adults and a 3yo here so I don’t have many to feed. We don’t do anything too fancy, just a normal roast with a few extra bits 😊 nobody ever wants starter so I don’t bother.

I’m just about to stick on a pot of soup since I’m awake anyway. We usually have that with some of the little part-baked rolls that you fling in the oven for lunch.

DS has requested “dooky egg and soldiers” for breakfast. DH and I have some shop bought pastries that we’ll have.

Easy and chilled day all round. I hate the thought of too much cooking and prepping!

We are the same, 2 meat roast with the trimmings.
Have mum, DB and partner for breakfast first then just the 4 of us for late lunch

No food prep done. It's only a roast for two so no stress.
I did set the dining room table last night.
Happy Christmas!

Same and same! Couldn't be bothered yesterday!! I'm sure it will all be fine!!

Just two of us for lunch, so apart from some defrosting of the turkey crown, nothing else is going to take lots of time.

The cat woke me up half an hour ago, zooming round the house, so I've made a cup of tea and come back to bed.

Merry Christmas 🎄

I've prepped a cauliflower and leek gratin, because it's the main of my meal. Otherwise it's just a roast.

Roast for 1 through choice. Mear cooked in.slow cooker, only because no room i fridge

I got my Christmas lunch delivered in a foil tray yesterday. I've just got to heat it up 😆 so no prepping done here!

I haven’t done any meal prep. I never do. It’s always fine.

First time not having the kids for Christmas and I'm up and have started prep. Technically we're (adult siblings and I) are eating at our parents today but I've insisted on prepping and cooking it all at home so I've a distraction.

Something quite soothing about stuffing a turkey and basting a ham at 5am in the quiet 🙃

We never prep, there are only 3 of us and DH prepares the Christmas dinner, I don't think prepping anything beforehand would be on his radar anyway even if there were more of us.

We had our Christmas meal yesterday. Now trying to decide whether to have left over turkey sandwiches or turkey and chips today 😁

I hear you with the early rising in peri (now mine are teens I surely should be sleeping in!)

I did prep yesterday but mainly because I have done a full turkey this year, normally just do a crown, and butchered it down myself and was a bit worried I would end up with an unrecognisable pile of meat/bone, so wanted to take my time.

Going to enjoy a very peaceful morning coffee until everyone else surfaces!

None done here. I’m sporting lurgie and have been out for the count unfortunately. My mum and cousin cooked yesterday whilst I slept, I didn’t eat any... I think I’m over the worst thank goodness so the 3 of us will work together today.

I mean I bought food and felt that was prep enough! I think it depends how many you are hosting. There's only 6 of us and I'll delegate veg prep to other adults. I bought a dessert but if I was making one, I'd have made that in advance.

We ate the bought dessert over the last two days so no preparation there, it was delicious.

I never prep in advance apart from cranberry sauce. There’s enough to do on Christmas Eve without trying to do what can wait until Christmas Day too I find!

I’ve done a lot of prep. DH likes to cook the Xmas lunch so I’ve made some bits ahead so he’s in the kitchen less and makes less mess - hopefully! It’s just the 4 of us. Stuffing balls, pigs in blankets in the freezer and cinnamon buns and gravy in the fridge and made a pavlova yesterday.

I’ll go and take the buns out the fridge to finish rising in a moment seeing as though I’m awake! Got a trapped nerve in my leg and not sleeping well.

We’ve agreed with the teens that they’re getting up for stockings at 9 because yesterday they didn’t get up till 2 and it caused a bit of an argument!

We always prep the night before because chopping veg for 9 people is a big chore when I want to be spending my morning watching presents being opened/played with. Wouldn’t bother if it was just the 3 of us though.

No prep here because I had very well timed hand surgery. For the first time since I can remember I am not doing anything.

Nope not done any food prep at all ☺️
