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.

Pumpkin Cat Treats | Recipe
It’s Halloween and that means everything is pumpkin! I felt that it would be cool if Pancake took part in some of the Halloween festivities. With this in mind, we went down the route of Pumpkin Cat Treats! Pumpkin is pretty good for furry friends, being a good source of fiber, Vitamin C, E and A, as well as great for preventing hairballs. Making your own treats is a very easy thing to do – not only will you know exactly what your furry friend is eating, you will also have control over how much!
Pumpkin Pancakes | Recipe
We love pancakes in our home! It’s something made at least weekly, with berries or homemade jams or syrups on top. As it is pumpkin season, and we have made so much pumpkin puree, it was only natural that we ended up making some pumpkin pancakes. These pancakes taste amazing and bring a lot of Autumn cheer to your breakfast table – perfect for a spooky Halloween breakfast or just a new fall favorite. I am sure they go great with some pumpkin spiced coffee too!
