Hambread | Recipe

Every single Christmas, I remember having hambread without fail. Recently, on a phonecall with my dad, he said that I can have hambread any time of year, so I made it a little early as I was feeling the need to have some stuffed bread. Hambread is basically a sandwich – loads of ingredients cooked inside a loaf of bread, that you then can slice and eat up – a whole sandwich all in one. It’s also much more than just ham inside bread. I really enjoy hambread warm – but having it cold the next day is also great.

Hot Chocolate Bomb | Review

I keep seeing Hot Chocolate Bombs all over social media and so I wanted to get in on the trend. At first, I didn’t know how easy it would be to make your own, so I actually ordered some up! It turns out I have the moulds and can make my own, but it is easy to order these bombs and chocolate tempering can be quite the task, so I am glad that I did grab up a few for our family to enjoy.

A Day out at Standen House | A Beale Family Christmas

Jupiter recently got a National Trust membership as this year (and into next) seems to be one where primarily only outdoor events are what we are going to be getting along too. This membership covers a lot of parks, historical houses, and areas within Britain that we are going to aim to explore. So, when checking out the Christmas section of the National Trust website, we stumbled upon Standen House, where the Beale Family once lived – and though we didn’t really know who that was, we were excited to take a look around. Standen House ended up being one of our favorite National Trust sites in Essex.

This box came with a variety of different Christmas-themed donuts and candies, which is really quite a fun family activity. The idea is that you can decorate these doughnuts, however you’d like, using the variety of different toppings and icings in the box.

Blueberry Snowball | Aloha 65 Cocktail Recipe

*AD – the items in this review were gifted to our household for this post. All opinions, as always, are our own.

Earlier on in the year we tried out Aloha 65, a zingy spirit flavoured with notes of chilli and pineapple among other things. Normally the bottle has a warm summer theme however, as you can see in the featured image, this time we had one with a different label. One with a winter theme, and this gave us a few ideas about how the drink could be used for more than just zesty summery drinks. In fact, we decided that we’d make a drink with winter colours and a literal ball of ice tucked up inside it.
