    Hey friends! How was everyone's Christmas? We had such. a. lovely. time. It was a very grown up Christmas with my parents featuring delicious food and loads of amazing presents.

    My family are always crazy generous with presents and this year was no exception and Will got me an electric pressure cooker (instant pot type deal) so get ready for some new pressure cooker recipes in the new year!

    This was also our first Christmas with Bernie (our cat) who was mostly thoroughly overwhelmed by the extra people staying in our flat and all of the huge amounts of presents and extra things all over the place.

    He did very much enjoy his presents though, if you're following me on instagram then you probably saw my stories showing him enjoying plenty of catnip toys!

      Oh such a heavenly combination!! I love sausages and I love beans, I make a combination with sausage and lentils so I know beans will definitely go well together. Yum!

      What a great idea to add the breadcrumb topping--that adds just the right amount of texture.
