This Christmas themed name tag is one I made for Jack ages ago from one of my cross stitch alphabets and some beading. I have been looking for something to attach it too for ages, and was thinking about using it on a Christmas Stocking. But now I have some lovely patterns for stocking that I want to use instead.

I think this fabric is ideal for Christmas stuff, so I sewed a little bag, and then sewed the name tag on. It's really sweet and i think it will be perfect for stashing all of his chocolate and snacks he's bound to get at Christmas.

I need to make one for Tom now too :oD

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
