Christmas in July Recipe Ideas

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 14, 2015June 10, 2020
July 14, 2015June 10, 2020

Some like to celebrate Christmas in July, mainly because it’s a good reason to get friends and family together, espcially if you can’t catch up in December.  Here in Australia it’s really warm at Christmas, so we tend to have cold meats and salads on our table, July is cold so it’s a good excuse to cook up some delicious roasts and puddings.  

If you are thinking of celebrating Christmas in July I have put together a selection of recipe ideas for you.

Christmas in July Snacks & Drinks

Christmas Punch – I love to create delicious non-alcoholic drinks for our parties/gatherings.  This Christmas Punch is so good, filled with delicious cold fruit, it’s a must have on your Christmas table.  It’s really easy to prepare, so easy my Mr 11 made this for us! This is a 2L jug, Mr 11 made enough to fill the jug (as per recipe below), we drank it so fast that he had to made another! view my recipe here.

Christmas in July – Meal idea

Easy Chicken Lasagne – Don’t have time to bake a roast, make thsi really easy Chicken Lasagne.  View my recipe here.

Turducken Beef Wellington – A surprisingly easy recipe made easier using a boneless turducken. The turducken is baked then topped with mushroom duxelle and then encased in a puff pastry layer. It is decorated with holly leaves and berries cut out of puff pastry and baked until golden. The holly leaves and berries are then painted red and green. The result is moist, tender meat and crispy, buttery pastry much like a classic beef wellington with a festive touch. View recipe at Not Quite Nigella.

Slow cooker silverside – I love this silverside, fuss free, very simple to put together and tastes so good with some mashed potato, vegetables and mustard sauce! View my recipe here.

Roast lamb with honey, mustard & thyme glaze – For easy entertaining serve up this delicious roast lamb with honey, mustard & thyme glaze. View recipe here.

Curried Fish and Vegetable Pot Pie – This pot pie would make enough to feed 8 people, I used an extra large rectangular casserole dish.  Use the rest for left overs for following day, dinner or lunch or halve the recipe for a serving of four. View recipe here.

Crustless Quiche – This quiche is very quick to make and while baking will make it’s own delcious crust around the quiche, very light and fluffy. View my recipe here.

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake – The crust on this cheesecake is unlike the traditional version, it’s filled with the typical chocolate biscuit but then you add dates, walnuts, honey and my new favourite ingredient coconut oil, it made a deliciously light base. View recipe here.

{The Organised Housewife} Triple Chocolate CheesecakeRhubarb and Apple Crumble – Rhubarb always gives me fond memories of my childhood, mum used to always serve us stewed rhubarb and custard.  This is my twist, to a delicious childhood favourite, Apple & Rhubarb Crumble. View my recipe here.

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
