For the first time in a long time I don't have to make a last minute dash to the shops for a forgotten item so have the whole day to bake and cook. What goodies are you rustling up today? I thought I might make some Christmas muffins, some little tarts, some vol au vents for the buffet later. Anyone cooking something lovely I can shamelessly copy?

We are away this year and for the first time in years my DD has asked if we can bake, she’s 17 and it made my year. So we are making choc chip muffins :)

I did mince pies and festive shortbread yesterday so it's tomorrow's dessert being made today.

Just mince pies. I've decided to go easy on myself this year! It goes against the grain as I'm very much a cook from scratch person but I've got enough to do for tomorrow's lunch. Today's buffet (we are having visitors) is mainly shop bought!

I’m making mince pies and sausage rolls.
