Well I planned to show completely different photos today but my cooking all went a bit pear shaped! One of my New Years resolutions is to cook a new recipe each week. Today I attempted individual sticky date puddings with caramel sauce. What a disaster! Still edible but not pretty! I will have to find the recipe I used to use quite a few years ago. This one had some chocolate in as well and came recommended but I won't try it again. For our main evening meal I have made slow baked lamb chops with sweet potato and lemon. It is still in the oven but smells amazing! The photos I am sharing today are our Christmas baking, we didnt manage as much as normal but still got some done. Cranberry and pistachio biscotti, shortbread and chocolate peppermint creams! We only got one batch of the peppermint creams made but can't wait to make some more, they were really good! Lets hope my baking mojo comes back with some successes!!

Yummy Christmas cooking.... love home-made shortbread but I haven't made it since I was at school (100 yrs ago)... haha! not quite but it feels like it.... I've just made some ham & zucchini muffins from the Delicious Summer special magazine to take away over the weekend, bit of a change from zucchini slice....
OMG I looooooooove biscotti. It always looked way too hard to make for my liking, getting them so thin. Any secrets?
