Happy Boxing Day, friends!
Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!
And how was Christmas yesterday? Was it really Christmasing?
Well…well…well…I hope your Christmas was full of love, laughter, and, of course, a tiny bit of food overindulgence (okay… maybe more than a tiny bit).
Let’s be honest—some of us probably reached the “can’t even move without groaning” level of stuffed, and that’s exactly what Christmas is supposed to be about: eat, nap, repeat.
But today? Today we are taking it easy on the tummy. I have got a simple, light, and super tasty recipe for you: my Boxing Day Citrus Fish & Fresh Crunch Plate (had to give it a special name for the occasion, of course!).
So, please my beautiful, gorgeous, blessed, and loved fam, kick back, relax, and let me show you how to whip this one up without making your stomach cry for mercy.
Let’s do this, shall we?
