Christmas and New years eve feasts

30th December 2019 Be first to comment

Pastries!

The past few years we have discovered the wonderful dishes that can be made with pastry. We decided to buy some frozen pastry for easiness and experiment with pies, pasties, tarts and mini pies. We found them to be perfect for cold nights in and occasions such as Christmas and New years eve parties. The pies are great for Christmas and the mini tarts and mini pies are perfect for small buffets during your New years eve gathering.

'Steak' and gravy pasty
Mini Christmas style tarts with dipping gravy
Tiny mixed flavour pies

Soups

One of my favourite things to make and eat is soup! There are so many variations and types for all likings and favourite tastes. Whether you like it chunky or thin, creamy or broth like, soup is a fantastic one to pop in for Christmas time during the cold weather.Β 
People think that being vegan can limit my recipes but if anything it’s made me more adventurous with herbs and spices and various foods. I started trying new mixtures, sauces and all kinds of things. I then found my love of adding cream during the cooler months and fell in love all over again. We are forever winging it by just chucking in lots of veg and such and learning what works well together. Below are some soups we have around the Autumn and Winter months. We always have soup for starter on Christmas day since turning vegan. Before that we were always the prawn cocktail kind of gang!

Red pepper, roasted tomato and mixed veg soup
Mixed squash Autumnal soup
Tomato and sweet red pepper soup
Mixed vegetable chunky soup

Other warming dishes

Colourful mixed veg is wonderful for any dish during the cold seasons. We make up tonnes of veg like this for stir fry, curry, soup, stew and tarts.
There is nothing better than some roasted carrots and parsnips topped with a sweet kick of pomegranate seeds.
Homemade curry is just wonderful. It's sometimes a lengthy process with the fresh ingredients and herbs but the result is wonderful!

Sweet stuff

Head over to my blog post for more sweet treats here > Homemade Goodies <

It’s not Christmas without some sweet dishes on the menu for after we have finished our huge main meal, opening gifts and are ready to relax. A lot of people will buy ready made desserts but for me, I love baking. I love making different flavoured cakes, biscuits and treats that look great. There is nothing better than enjoying your own beautiful and tasty creation.Β

Homemade gingerbread house and family!

What is amongst your favourite Christmas and New years feasts?

Do you do homemade or shop bought?

Stay wonderful,

I hope all who celebrate had a wonderful Christmas I hope all who celebrate had a wonderful Christmas and all who don't, that you had a great day in general.

This year has been insanely difficult for most so it's ok if:

Β° You haven't felt festive

Β° You didn't manage to buy cards or gifts for everyone 

Β° You felt sadness/ Anger/ Irritation on Christmas day

Β° You need time alone or time away

Β° You haven't been productive 

The bottom line is, it's ok. You have done so well to even just get through this indescribable year or loss, anger, frustration and sadness. 

I send you endless love, hugs, positivity and a shoulder to lean on. You are incredible and I am so proud of you. 

I hope you've been looking after your mental and physical health. Remember that you matter and what you feel is valid. 

Stay wonderful, stay safe but most importantly stay alive β€πŸ–€

Are you feeling festive? I have personally reall Are you feeling festive? 

I have personally really struggled this year and I know so many others will too with how weird the world is at the moment. Everything seems stressful and emotionally and physically draining. Time is flying by but things still feel the same. 

From today I'm going to really try and get into the festive spirit with Christmas films, songs and such. I may even throw a mulled wine or two in there! 

How are you getting festive? It's ok if you aren't. We live in such strange times and there is so much uncertainty. I'm so proud of you for getting through it all!

Are you ok? A lot of people are not and I just wan Are you ok? A lot of people are not and I just wanted to use todays post to ask this question because it fucking matters more than anything! 

Whether you leave me a comment, message me, talk to someone or just internally answer these questions, give them a think because it's important and it matters how honest you are with yourself.

Β° How are you feeling?

Β° How has recent lockdown and restriction news impacted your mental and emotional health?

Β° Do you realise that you matter? Do you know that all of your thoughts and feelings are valid?

Β° Are you ok? 

Β° Do you need someone to talk to? 

You are doing incredible for overcoming everything. This year has been absolutely terrifying, anxiety inducing and just emotionally, mentally and physically draining. You, my friend are a legend! I hope you realise how much respect you deserve for holding on during this weird time.
