Gingerbread Beer Cake

It’s the last day of the year.  So instead of reminiscing about what’s past, being intimidated by what’s to come, I'm indulging in all that’s present.  Family.  Food.  And Gingerbread Beer Cake.

Last-Minute Edible Bestover Xmas

I froze my herbs.  Ate my leftovers.  Packed the last of these Christmas treats to snack on on the plane.  Threw myself out the door.  And that’s the way 2016 – in London – came to a close.  So just in case any of you have found yourself looking for the life-pause button and searching for the hours in your day evaporating into thin air, may these very last minute edible xmas treats come to the rescue.

Coffee-BBQ Roasted Squash

Coffee concentrate is a more concentrated coffee, crafted using the cold brew method.  I’ll let HER – pun intended – get into the nitty gritty with you.  But I will tell you that as a non-coffee drinker, I blew my own mind with this Coffee-BBQ Sauce-Glazed Roasted Butternut Squash.  [And I mean that as humbly as possible].  But, actually.  It is so, yummy.  And so party-season appropriate.

Harissa-Roasted Pumpkin Mac n Cheese

Harissa-Roasted Pumpkin Mac n Cheese
