Evie's plan for Christmas Day

My faux-niece Evie is clearly taking after her faux-aunt and her mother and written a plan for us all to follow on Christmas Day.. It goes: Wake Up > presents > play > play with presents.... Wise words for us all to adhere too! Nadolig Llawen / Merry Christmas everyone xxx

Cupcake Heaven

Published: 2011 Technically a magazine, but with 101 recipes, a pretty chunky one...

Heinz Baked Beans

Part of Pete's Secret Santa present, surprisingly veggie friendly.. This is also, not our only Heinz branded cookbook

Home from Bcn

I'm back from a quick jaunt to Barcelona with Jess to see mam and do some Christmas Shopping. I've also brought home some family heirlooms... (we picked up cheerful Santa and his cheerleading angels from the Christmas Market in Dusseldorf years ago)
