caitiri Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I’m trying the Christmas tree pavlova tomorrow wish me luck.Having the Chinese crispy pork belly tonight. I’ve got my pavlova rounds in the oven right now to assemble for tonight’s dessert. Lol I have maple glazed ham in the oven and potato dauphinois just cooked needing the final sprinkle of cheese and a reheat whilst the ham is resting/basting.I’m not sure about my pav tree but I’m sure it’s probably my cooking skills that made it not quite right (I’m going to blame the weather though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou-bags Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I did the roasted pumpkin with chilli maple and feta yesterday. Delish. I added some dried cranberries and omitted the fresh chilli (to keep it a bit milder for the kids who refused to touch it anyway ).Was very yummy! And I have leftover for tonight - going to warm it with some gnocchi and wilted spinach. https://pin.it/3qGNVnY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitiri Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Lol my pav was a bit of a disaster. I think I needed to let the merengue cook for longer I did it right in her timings but it was more like softer pav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcat20 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I did her potato gratin, caramelised carrots and crispy sprouts with lunch, then her apple salad and greek salad with dinner. All hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hills Mum Bec Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Pavlova tree ended up as Eton Mess. Had my rounds perfectly cooked and in a Tupperware container to transport to sisters house. They transported fine and then 2yo nephew knocked the Tupperware off the bench. Disaster! Still tasted good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagdaRegis Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Lol my pav was a bit of a disaster. I think I needed to let the merengue cook for longer I did it right in her timings but it was more like softer pav I adore RecipeTinEats, but her oven is way, way, way stronger than mine. I always have to crank it up an extra 20 or so degrees, or cook longer to get the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overlytired Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Lol my pav was a bit of a disaster. I think I needed to let the merengue cook for longer I did it right in her timings but it was more like softer pav Could also be due to the humidity being higher.

ali-song Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 My pav tree worked pretty well - definitely a bit lean-ey, but held up until serving time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodlez Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I made her Mongolian lamb last night. I used lamb blackstrap and her velveting method. It really works! Every other time I tried a stir fry the meat was always really tough but this one was exactly like a really good chinese take away. I do think it could have done with a bit more chilli but I think that is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozgirl Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Lol my pav was a bit of a disaster. I think I needed to let the merengue cook for longer I did it right in her timings but it was more like softer pav LOL,My sister was stressing about boxing day pav on Christmas Eve. So she made it. Left it to 'cool' in the oven. Next morning she asked her husband where the pav was. Panic ensued until she looked in the oven, she had placed oven trays in the oven during clean up. And squashed it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickersnewt Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I made the Mexican Corn Salad to go with dinner tonight. It was amazing and super easy too. I put the jalapeños separate for the grown ups. Definitely one to make again. I’m making the super easy brownie tomorrow. It is so good and a family favorite.

overlytired Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I'm making her pulled pork again. Will probably use store-bought BBQ sauce though, because I'm lazy and I'd like to clear out some space in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riotproof Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This is in the repeat file.https://www.recipetineats.com/crispy-baked-chicken-with-gravy/ It is simple, but you almost forget the whole high heat for chicken method. No garlic, not lemon just simple, I didn't have marjoram, no real difference IMO. I'd use mixed herbs in a pinch if you didn't have the individual ones. Dark soy in the gravy is very clever, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasty_buddha Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Christmas chicken was great - did that on boxing day and served with a salad - rocket, precooked beetroot, feta, walnuts, avo. Made crumpets this morning Great recipe. I bought crumpet rings in the november sales. Very easy. Next time I'll make them the day before and double the recipe so I can try to freeze some. Kids loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyMum Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I made the Mexican Corn Salad to go with dinner tonight. It was amazing and super easy too. I put the jalapeños separate for the grown ups. Definitely one to make again. I’m making the super easy brownie tomorrow. It is so good and a family favorite.This warm salad is awesome!To avoid making kids and adult versions, I add a pinch of dry chilli flakes while corn is still hot and mix,mix,mix... Adding even a couple of flakes to a hot dish will make it somewhat spicy (well, you can taste chilli).. Mixing in cheese will tone it down a bit and kids will eat it too.I guess adding jalapeños is a bit different:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hufflepuff Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Did her Huli Huli Chicken on the BBQ this week and made the Rice Pilaff with Fruit & Nuts as a side dish. Both were kid & adult approved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
