Going AWOL!

Christmas is so very very near! And I am no where near ready! The tree only went up last weekend, I've left Hubby to do most of the shopping for presents and the wrapping (luckily most of the people we buy for are his family so he knows better than me what to get anyway). I've not been feeling very festive. I think the hassle with the car getting smashed has affected me more than I thought to start with. I've been stressing about that instead of tinsel and gift wrap.

I am so very very tired too. The kids have had coughs and cold, I've caught it too, and so has the Hubby. They've been up and down all night every night so they are tired and cranky an so are we. We're falling out amongst ourselves already and school hasn't even finished for the holidays yet!

But the point of this post is to say that with the festive season upon us, and visits with family and friends taking up the vast majority of our time for the next week or two, I am likely not going to be blogging so much this side of Christmas! I have a few posts lined up on my main blog and I might pop on here with a weight loss post, but that's about it.

So in case I don't see you online before.... .

MERRY CHRISTMAS 

to all of you!

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
