I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was lovely, thank you for asking. We actually celebrated on the 22nd, when some of my family came up to visit.
I was a bit stressed out, because I’ve never hosted a holiday before. I enjoy my holiday meals at my mom’s or my Aunt Vickie’s. (Again, the way god intended it). Since I knew that they were due to have the big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, which would be turkey, I decided to make a ham. And I had to find holiday dishes that we don’t usually have as well. I bought a holiday cookbook and decided to make Sweet Potato Stuffing. Thought that would go nicely with ham.
There was a brief scare when I could not find Jamaican Jerk Seasoning in the store. Nor did I even know what it was. Neither did my mom. But I found a recipe online for homemade Jamaican Jerk Seasoning, made up of spices we had between us.
Anyway, the stuffing turned out yummy, and it’s super easy to make, so I’m going to share the recipe with you. I know, I know… that’s unlike me. But you have to understand, collecting recipes is what I do now. It’s outta control. I buy Real Simple every month and rip out the recipes and try them. If they are good, I copy them down on recipe cards. Swear. To. God. There is a freakin’ Bon Appétit in my house right now!
Crazy.
