Ouzo Sour | Vegan Cocktail Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] You may have guessed, from looking around our site, that we do love a good drink! Dann has reviewed a bunch of beers and we are known to share recipes for cocktails! When we started using OGGS Aquafaba to replace eggs in some of our favorite foods, we figured it would be fun to make a drink using these as the foam-y, egg white replacement! Each container of Aquafaba contains about four eggs worth of fluid, which is great for baking, cooking and mixing drinks! OGGS has their own list of recipes, which can be found on their site, and we took a spin at their Pisco Sour, but were out of Pisco and went for a nice Ouzo instead.

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings with Dip | Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] As apart of Veganuary, we are trying out some different recipes and vegan snacks to see how they are! One of our favorite vegan brands are OGGS, who make a range of snacks, along with an egg alternative called Aquafaba. This egg alternative works well as mock egg whites, whipping up just like them! Each carton contains about four eggs worth, which is plenty to bake with, use in recipes, cook with, and otherwise enjoy. I was very happy with the texture of these egg whites – and we went for a buffalo cauliflower recipe, complete with glaze, and a refreshing dip to go along with it. OGGS has plenty of recipes for Aquafaba, which you can find on their website, and we’ll be trying a few more things out this month as well!

Fruity Mince Pies | Recipe

As an American living in England, I had never previously had or heard of Mince Pies. Despite beef being called ‘mince’ when it’s ground in the UK, Mince Pies do not contain any meat anymore and actually are a really lovely, sweet treat that’s super popular around the wintertime! Mince pies can be found in loads of stores – we have a ranking list of our favorites – but this year we decided to do some experimenting and try out own! We ended up loving a super fruity mince pie that we had made, and it was so easy and fun to do!

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.

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.
