Still Festive in My January Kitchen

It is still quite festive in my home, especially as I am enjoying an extended holiday.

I was bestowed with lots of good things to eat and cherish over the festive holidays. 

First a work colleagues and someone who I would certainly call a friend, Joel gave these to me.  One was a belated Birthday present (from November) and the other a Christmas present. 

These stunning embroidered wall plaques are made by his very talented Mother.  Thank you so much.  Both these gifts were unexpected,  I will really cherish them.

Banana Muffins with Cocoa Crumble Topping

I made these Banana Muffins with Cocoa Crumble topping just before Christmas with left over ripe bananas to take into work in place of flapjacks for a change.

These muffins appealed to me mostly because of the cocoa crumble topping.

I enjoyed them that evening, but also the following day at work, but D was not that keen on them for whatever reason. He ate them though.

Seitan Roast with Stuffing

Here is my first ever attempt at Seitan Roast with Stuffing.   

A celebratory Seitan Roast with Stuffing to be served with all the vegetables you find at Sunday Roast Dinner. 

Talking of celebrations, let me wish all my readers A Happy New Year - 2018.
