Christmas!

Just a couple of pics to show you from the festive period! Lots of things to write about but not so much time. Will report soon :)

Baked Camembert with Garlic and Rosemary

Winter is drawing in and that means its time to eat lots of cheese!

This little snack to share is so simple.

Pre heat the oven to 150. Cut the top of the rind on the wheel of cheese off and add some garlic, salt, rosemary and olive oil. Bake until all gooey and serve with toast or fresh baguette! Yummy!

I also like to use cranberry jelly :)

The final crop!

So these are my babies! Finally autumn has arrived and the fruits of my garden are ready for harvest. The pumpkin sadly did not do so well but thankfully my mothers did not grow at all so a new pair of hunter wellies are mine!

Thé squash however I am happy about and I've already made a nice risotto which I shall post the recipe for in the next few days :)

Halloween Cookies

Hey everyone! Just wanted to show you these pictures of the cookies I baked for Halloween this year.

Quality of photos are not great as my phone is a little dated but here they are anyway :)

Chillies!!

Been so so busy recently so Im sorry there has not been much posting. Things are getting cold here and things in the garden are nearly at a stand still so i will be devoting much more time to this starting this week.

Just wanted to show you what I have been harvesting this week! Very proud and will be making some yummy things with these shrotly :)

Recipe Books

Hi all! Just a quick one to show you these... I've been meaning to find a good way of storing my recipes as I have so many magazine cut outs and printed sheets lying around the place.

I found this material online ages ago and couldn't think what to do with it but finally decided on a decent project. Something I can keep for myself for once as it makes me sad when I finish some fabric and have kept nothing back for myself.

So one of these is for a friend and the other myself do I will be busy at some point filling it :)

Skull Beads

Been making these little skull beads this week following my obsession with Mexican Sugar Skulls. Im not entirely sure what I will do with them yet but Im thinking earrings. 

They are made with polymer clay which you bake in the oven. These pictured are yet to be baked and once they are I am going to paint them :)
