2013 Pie

I couldn’t resist making this pie for dinner on New Year’s Eve

Christmas Nommmmmm…

I hope you all had a splendid Christmas Feast.
Here’s mine.

Breakfast for TB…my breakfast had no bacon or egg

 

Dinner

 

I made this up as I went along.
Onions, mushrooms, chopped hazelnuts, garlic, quinoa, parsley fried together then baked in puff pastry.
I cut back on the usual amount of vegetables (most of my meals involve seven or more different ones)
and in a totally non-traditional way we were able to move after dinner.

 

No dinner

 

This is a pie thing I made last week.
It’s full of chestnuts, mushrooms, leeks, cranberries and was a trial run for Christmas dinner
but come Christmas morning I didn’t fancy it again.

Feast your mince pies on these!

I love mince pies but often think about them too late in the evening
and it takes too long to make pastry, cut bases, fill them, cut tops, decorate them etc.

Ready made puff pastry is my saviour.

 

Mince vol au vents

Mince spirally things

Winter and warm fires…

Roasted vegetables

Mushroom and garlic tart with seven vegetables

When I tasted the leek it evoked winter and warm fires…I love how food can do that.
Actually, I just love food.
