[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to Christmas time, there are normally huge, elaborate dinners that could feed a family of ten. It doesn’t make much sense to cook a bunch of different sides when there is only two of you. My family live in an entire different continent, which means that I am probably not having a huge Christmas dinner most years. And, sometimes, you just want a large Christmas-themed dinner mid December, to get yourself into the spirit. QBag is a perfect solution for this, as you can cook an entire Christmas dinner in one bag, with very little clean up. This recipe is one that you can shift and change depending on what you want in your Christmas Dinner.

Moist Pumpkin Bread with pecan streusel
Autumn means pumpkin spice everything and after a few years of baking our own breads, I felt like pumpkin spiced bread would probably a fun thing to do this time of year. You see, read made with pumpkin is so moist, flavorful, and such a good time. I love having something that is crunchy on top of such soft, moist breads like this – so I made some pecan streusel to bake on top, but you can leave that out and just create the bread itself. The crunchy, nutty top is really good though, so if it’s something you might like, you should try!

Monster Wraps
Making a great and filling lunch, we created some of these monster wraps. The idea is simple – create a wrap of your choice, then cut some hair out of sliced cheese and make some eyes out of olives sliced up (though you could use red pepper to make eyes, if your not a fan of olives). We filled our wrap with red pepper hummus, cucumbers and slices of chicken, and then decorate them once they are rolled up. These impress so much in packed lunches!
