Summer Bucket List - Round up!


Summer is over... and round here you can tell. The sun has well and truly packed up his hat and gone off to find a nicer place to play. Jack's at school on Monday and Tom starts nursery a week from Wednesday.

I think the "End of Summer" hit me on Thursday night, as I sat watching old episodes of Stargate Atlantis (always Sci Fi as the nights draw in) and sewing name tapes into my son's school uniform. It just suddenly felt very autumnal...

So how did we do with the Summer Bucket List?

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
