New Year, Old Me…..just paying more attention to Time and Balance

January 18, 2019Leave a comment

New Year, Old Me. Must we subscribe to the 'health' trends of January or seek overall individual happiness? Balance and Time win out! #balanceandtime

Day 12 of my Festive Foodie Advent Calendar- cinnamon buns. Hygge and Fika. However, this is more about the time taken just to ‘be’, to escape the rushing and hustle and bustle of Christmas, a reminder to slow down, enjoy treats and spend time talking with friends and family over a coffee and pastry, light some tea lights and relax! . . . . . #adventcalendar #advent #foodieadventcalendar #cinnamonrolls #cinnamonbuns #artpottery #friendsandfamily #time #hygge #hyggeandfika #fika #christmasiscoming #huffposttaste #instayum #guildoffoodwriters #christmas #xmas #festiverecipes #amerrymonmouthshirechristmas
Festive Foodie Advent Calendar Day 11...who used to make ‘stained glass window’ biscuits? Gingerbread dough and boiled sweets....the wonder it would create! It was a memorable Christmas tradition making these with my grandmother and more recently, my son. . . . . . ##adventcalendar #advent #foodieadventcalendar #boiledsweets #cookies #gingerbread #biscuits #stainedglasswindow #christmasiscoming and #huffposttaste #instayum #guildoffoodwriters #christmas #xmas #festiverecipes #amerrymonmouthshirechristmas
Festive Foodie Advent Calendar day 10 - Duck Rillettes. One of my favourite recipes from South-West France. I have a family house in Gascony and have grown up with this dish - the flavours conjure up many happy memories. Made from pulled duck confit and unctuous duck fat we serve it with toasted sourdough and fruity, seasonal chutney. This is always a Christmas table stalwart, delightful as a Christmas Day starter and can be enjoyed for several days afterwards. . . . . #adventcalendar #advent #foodieadventcalendar #chutney #rillettes #duck #gascony #duckconfit #frenchrecipes #joyeuxnoel #christmasiscoming #huffposttaste #instayum #guildoffoodwriters #christmas #xmas #festiverecipes #amerrymonmouthshirechristmas
Festive Foodie Advent Calendar Day 9 and the citrus fruits have it. Whether it’s candid peel in the pudding, a satsuma in the stocking toe or even a good spoonful of whisky marmalade on Christmas breakfast toast, oranges and all their citrus cousins have an honoured place at the Christmas table with the fresh, zesty flavours combining so well with the spices of the season and conjuring up images of far off lands of sunshine ☀️ . . . . #adventcalendar #advent #foodieadventcalendar #oranges #clementines #satsumas #spices #citrus #zesty #christmasiscoming #huffposttaste #instayum #guildoffoodwriters #christmas #xmas #festiverecipes #amerrymonmouthshirechristmas
So, my Festive Foodie Advent Calendar day 8 - and it’s Panettone (snapped last year @angelbakeryabergavenny ) - such a delicious, seasonal treat! And always amazing in a bread and butter pudding with a rich vanilla custard and dash of Amaretto, or how about Pandoro its un-fruited sister? Wonderful dipped in cinnamon-seasoned sweetened beaten egg, with a dash of cream, and fried in unsalted butter - the ultimate French (or should that be Italian?) Toast. . . . . . #adventcalendar #advent #foodieadventcalendar #buononatale #christmasiscoming #huffposttaste #instayum #guildoffoodwriters #christmas #xmas #festiverecipes #amerrymonmouthshirechristmas #panettone #pandoro #christmasbreakfast #frenchtoast
Day 7 of my Festive Foodie Advent Calendar - Smoked Salmon. Although I eat it throughout the year, there’s something very Christmassy about a side of smoked salmon, it’s always served at home for Christmas breakfast with croissants, scrambled eggs and a glass of Bucks Fizz and I can heartily recommend one of my local producers @severnandwyesmokery . . . . . #adventcalendar #advent #foodieadventcalendar #christmasiscoming #huffposttaste #instayum #guildoffoodwriters #christmas #xmas #festiverecipes #amerrymonmouthshirechristmas #smokedsalmon #christmasbreakfast #sideofsmokedsalmon #fish #salmon #seasonalbrunch #severnandwyesmokery #smokedsalmonandeggs
