Christmas Day Dinner...

I am always impressed with the food postings I see on my fellow bloggers sites. Their photos that go with their blogs are always great. I have attempted food photos several times but have never hit the POST button. They were never worth looking at. I really think it has something to do with the round plates and square cropping of the photo. It always felt out of porportion and off kilter. So I thought hmmmm, get rid of the round plates. You have this awesome camera that will allow you to do some heavy cropping, do it.

I was at the grocery store trying to figure out what to serve for Christmas dinner. Quite honestly I could not stomach the idea of eating any more turkey. Cornish hens are too close to turkey. The seafood department gave me the idea of King Crab legs. It was only going to be my husband, me and the 3 kids. How expensive could it be. Good Luck!  I chose to do it any way. One big 'ol bag a crab legs, 1 1/2 inch sirloins, baked potatoes, salad and mushrooms sauteed in butter and brown sugar. Yum. Oh, and red wine becuase it is good for your heart.

Needless to say it was really good. The kids loved them and I ate way too much!

  1. Oh Krista your dinner looked truly scrumptious!
    Your photos definitely did it justice. And Merlot is my favorite wine. We too were tired of turkey so my DIL made all mexican food. It was great. A nice change. Love Di

  2. Your Christmas dinner looks fabulous!! Great photos - plus a great menu!

    It is always hard to get food to look nice in photos. (How can something good be so unphotogenic?) I'm shocked whenever a food photo I take doesn't look disgusting. Good thing I'm not a food blogger!
