🕛You and I made it to the other side! YAY!🥳
It was a slow start of the year, our children left before New Year and we still had tons of Christmas and New Year food to go through. I swear I could not eat another cranberry sauce and cheese bite LOL! And never attempted the mayo from scratch, I was exhausted 🥴!
Even though we had plenty of vegetables and salads over the holidays, I was just craving soothing comforting plant-forward food.
I feel like many folks have just become disenchanted with Veganuary, why don't you hit reply to let me know if it's just my perception.
If you have followed for a little while (thank you so, so much, that's the idea 😄), you know that Candyflosslife kitchen is all about adding more plants to your flavorful but simple homemade dishes, less meat and absolutely obsessed with making new meals out of leftovers. So my first recipes are just that: using up my gifted homemade pesto (from Iggi) to make this creamy pesto and mushrooms pasta topped with pork and sage meatballs (Dave is not ready for Veganuary 😂).
And making soups and curries crammed with at least 7️⃣plants!
Homemade pesto pasta
Iggi (our daughter) gave everyone food gifts, those are the best kind of gifts, don't you think?

Sneak peak!
☃️🥶The second week of January is frosty in the East of England, it really is soup and stew weather. After New Year I made some really comforting venison and potato stew with a small amount of diced venison from our Layer Marney butcher, it was just so cozy!
🍲But I have literally lived on soups for the past 10 days, and I have a few good ones coming on the website this week, so pop back in to grab them or just reply to this email if you'd like a link when I post them. Can you guess what flavor this gorgeously bright and smooth soup might be? You will not stop making it once you had it once😜!
Hit reply to tell me if you have made any plans or resolutions for 2025? Or what you'd like to see me making! I READ EVERY EMAIL!
See you next week!
