Thought I would share this little dish I threw together for lunch the other day. It was very simple and very tasty.
Baked goats cheese with a dollop of caramelised onion chutney, side salad of asparagus, tomato and avocado and a hunk of brioche.
It was delicious. Will definitely be having this again
Baby showers are an American concept that have well and truly been adopted by us Brits as a right of passage and key engagement in the female social calendar A great excuse to get together with the girls and a chance for the Mum to be to relax, be pampered and open presents. Homemade cakes are a must, and I have to say, these were delicious.
We were bestowed with typically British summer weather (i.e. sunshine and showers) but were well prepared with a lovely marquee
Mum to be looks absolutely gorgeous and was just glowing. Beautiful...
After tucking into cakes, it was time for presents!
Followed by more cake and a few cheeky vinos (for the guests not Mummy!)
A lovely time had by all.
Yes you read that correctly. Baby food cocktail. Stay with me. I really fancied making some bellinis and searched the supermarket for a fruit puree/liquor but couldn't find anything suitable. First stop was the alcohol section. Nothing. I looked at the fruit isle, dessert isle and baking isle and still couldn't find anything that could go in a bellini. I then had a light bulb moment and headed to the baby section. The baby fruit puree was absolutely perfect.
Scoop a heaped teaspoon of puree, pour into a champagne flute and top with prosecco. Calling it one of my 5 a day might be a stretch too far but it does taste fabulous. Great for kicking off a special evening, or in my house, a little pick me up the morning after the night before. This will definitely be my drink of the Summer. Cheers!
