Crab Leg Christmas

King of the Sea

Who else is tired of having Thanksgiving food for Christmas?

OK, so a traditional “Black Folks” Christmas dinner is usually the same thing they had on Thanksgiving, cornbread dressing, candied yams, collard greens, potato salad. Maybe the protein is different, ham, roast, cornish hens instead of a big 25lb turkey, and all the fixins of a down home meal.

I just can’t do it. After 3 days I don’t want to see that food again for at least 8 weeks. Not because it’s not delicious but lets face it, if you cooked it right it took you three days to prep it and another three days to cook it all and get it on your dinner table on time to be hot a delicious for your friends and family. By Christmas enough is enough.

Brussel Sprouts with White Onion & Shiitake Mushroom

By now you probably know that I looooove mushroom. I will add them to absolutely anything and onion is not far behind making EVERYTHING taste better. I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of Brussel Sprouts but I like them when I cook them myself lol (toot toot). Now if you cook these be sure to cut them in half so flavor can get on the inside of the sprout. Nothing is nastier then the unseasoned inside of a Brussel Sprout, that right there is an acquired taste and the first time you eat these if you don’t like them chances are you’ll never eat them again.

Please pair your King Crab Legs with a light yummy lemon flavored wine. I personally LOVE Lemon Moscato by Oliver. It’s light and delish. Plus if you just got drunk on Christmas Eve, you don’t need more than 6.8% alc. Sip slow, chill, and enjoy Christmas Dinner!
