snacks

Christmas is –finally– coming!

There’s less than 20 days to go ’til the most wonderful day of the year and -having been ready for it since the beginning of August- I’m so excited.

I’m not going to lie; part of it is because, for the first time ever, we managed to get a date in the diary to host our own little Christmas party. And we’ve managed to agree on said date early enough for all of your favourite people to not be already triple book, which means everyone was there.

Which made things both very exciting and a teeny tiny bit complicated in terms of logistics, given that we hosted 15 people and only have 4 chairs. So yeah, Christmas-themed drinks and canapés it was!

So this week, I’ll be sharing the snacks I made for our little festive get-together – starting with those amazing cranberry & turkey sausage rolls.

Super easy to make and soooooo festive, they’re a party favourite.

No matter how many you make (there’s no such thing as too many), they’ll disappear in a flash!

I don’t know what it is about autumn, but every year, I get the same seasonal urges.

First come the impulse to switch my nailpolish to dark red, then come the squash soup cravings and finally, there’s the yearning to organise a full-on autumnal house party.

In my wildest dreams, the ultimate fall party would bring my seasonal Pinterest board to life.

There’d be fire roaring in the fireplace, loads of seasonal foliage, plaid blankets, cinnamon cookies, an appropriate amount of intricately decorated pies, maybe some mulled cider…

And of course, canapés.

Because, well, I live in London, so I don’t exactly (understand ‘at all’) have space for a full sit-down dinner!

Of course, you could throw a bunch of frozen snacks in the oven but you’d be missing out on super easy beauts’ like those apple & black pudding sausage rolls.
