Greggs Chicken Bake It’s a legacy... And thanks

Greggs Chicken Bake
It’s a legacy...
And thanks to @greggs_official for sharing the recipe.
It means that we, who moved to the US, finally managed to get a taste of this beloved baked snack. (After craving it for 2 years)
And it tasted perfect - luckily we had taste to go by to get it just right.
Sorry I didn’t get a picture of the interior - it was gone before I knew it.

We love this teepee from @tazztoys
It’s roomy and I love the little extras like the fairy lights and the windows.
It was easy to put together and was up in minutes. I love the quality of the product and the waterproof base.
The pockets inside are perfect for storing books and other treasures.
Check the link in bio for the product page

She was very emphatic about the kind of cake she wanted.
1. It had to be home made
2. It had to be vanilla
3. It had to have fondant
.

Blue is her favourite colour and I aim to please.
Especially if it’s her birthday.
Especially if she’s turning 9.
Especially because she’s my baby girl...

Happy Birthday Darling Girl! .

We all pitched in and it came out well for a first time

Mishti Doi - a sweet yogurt made with caramelised

Mishti Doi - a sweet yogurt made with caramelised sugar or more traditionally made with palm sugar and very famous in India especially in Kolkata. You can’t ever tire of it.
It’s not at all difficult to make and I’m so glad to have got the texture and taste just as it needs to be. The kids just love it. .

Hot cross buns - these came out great for a first

Hot cross buns - these came out great for a first try and they were surprisingly easy to make. A little extra effort but so worth it.
This is traditional for Good Friday hence the cross.
Glazed with apricot jam, they were soft and yummy served with butter. We didn’t toast them as we had them warm from the oven but we have some over for us to toast tomorrow.
We’ve always had hot cross buns on Good Friday so couldn’t break tradition this year. Since we couldn’t buy any, I decided to make them. .

There are so many things you can do when you’re

There are so many things you can do when you’re indoors - read, learn to cook something you’ve never tried before or bake these delicious French macarons.
It’s an achievement in itself.
Why risk your health and more importantly the health of others by making those non-essential trips? There are rules being made for a reason. Just stay in!
As for these macarons - they are amazing. Complete with ‘feet’ and everything. .

As we step into uncertain times of self-isolation,

As we step into uncertain times of self-isolation, empty shelves, schools closing, and much more, one thing we CAN be sure of is the beauty of nature.
Absolutely stunning!
An evening spent at the beach.
And as sure as the sun sets, it will rise.
And there will be another day.
AND it will have some good in it.
All we need to do is look for it and appreciate it. .

Living in Southern California doesn’t mean it ha

Living in Southern California doesn’t mean it has to be scorching all the time as we’ve now found out. A short drive, well about 90 minutes from LA, and you could well be up in the mountains with spectacular sceneries and SNOW!! Yes, Snow!!
It was not snowing while we were there but we’ll take settled snow too.
Lake Gregory Regional Park is where we visited recently and followed a 2.5 mile trail around the lake. It was beautiful and a little tiring as I’ve kind of gotten so used to driving everywhere.
The walk was SO worth it with these gorgeous views.
I realise that I’m more of a mountain person than I realise .

Las Vegas - a city like no other. You can visit Pa

Las Vegas - a city like no other. You can visit Paris, Venice or New York all in one day. 🙂
This is our second trip in two years and there’s still so much to see.
I’d go back in a heartbeat and I’m sure the kids will agree too.
In fact I’d love to back and stay at the @bellagio
A few highlights to share from this trip - flamingos @flamingovegas , the Eiffel Tower @parisvegas
The gondolas @venetianvegas ,
The Statue of Liberty outside @nynyvegas
So much to see...so little time...

We made a (very) last minute trip to Las Vegas dur

We made a (very) last minute trip to Las Vegas during Thanksgiving break. And it was so good to get away.
We stayed at @hardrockhotellv and it was so much fun visiting again. If you think it’s not a place for families - think again. The kids love it there. And being a short (4 hour drive) from LA means it’s doable even for a weekend getaway.
We got a really good deal through @groupon for the hotel for a 3 night stay and we crammed in so much during those few days. .

I’ve always wanted to visit Santa Barbara - perh

I’ve always wanted to visit Santa Barbara - perhaps it’s the movies or the books that influenced it. Or maybe it’s the soap we used to watch ‘Santa Barbara’ - my mum and I.
Well I finally made it and I was just a bit disappointed. The town was lovely and the beach was beautiful but there was something missing.
And I was not impressed that the pier/Stearns Wharf had a car park on it. Like literally. There were cars driving in and out of the car park on the pier.
Maybe I need to go back and spend some time there. Maybe I went at the wrong time. But for now, my Santa Barbara dream is just slightly crushed. .

I’m glad to see the sun set on this decade. It’s been quite a rubbish one, if you ask me.
I started the decade with my Mum getting very ill and passing away on 2012, I almost didn’t make it when my youngest was born in 2011 and then we lost my Dad in 2017.
Life is so short when you look at it. You never know what’s waiting round the corner. There are so many things beyond our control.
But I’m looking forward to 2020 and making the next decade count and making each day a happy one for me and mine. .

The children are enjoying playing with the Dojo Ba

The children are enjoying playing with the Dojo Battle. It includes 2 swords, two-color discs and two shields with Smart Strike Technology that detects each strike and keeps score. I love that the children have been excited to go out and play with the Dojo Battle. It gets them off their screens. I think it's a great gift for the holidays.

We wrapped presents.
We left cookies out for Santa - I’m sure they don’t believe any longer. But they are still holding on to Christmas traditions and I love that.
They get presents for each other and they enjoy that part of shopping, even Ethan who really hates going to the shops.
We have the traditional Christmas dinner - roast, Yorkshire puddings, veggies, cranberry, apple, horseradish and mustard sauce and gravy,
And we start the meal of course by pulling crackers and sharing jokes.
And then we watch Christmas movies.
LOVE CHRISTMAS .

As a Christmas tradition, the children pick a baub

As a Christmas tradition, the children pick a bauble each for the tree so we add at least 3 new ones every year. This year we added The Aristocats( to represent the 3 of them), a squirrel named Septillius and a teddy bear called Bailey. We love our Union Jack bauble and I absolutely love the alphabets that represent all our five names.
Do you have a Christmas tree tradition/story?
