These little chocolate fondants are also perfect for a certain Jour d’Amour that is fast approaching. You could easily half the ingredients and just make two. Serve with a rich vanilla icecream and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Zucchini/Courgette Bread & A new Arrival
We have also had a new and very exciting arrival in the house. We had always planned on it eventually, but a Sunday afternoon drive left us with more than we had bargained for. Charlie Bird. He is lovely, friendly and very needy. He makes noise when he is left alone and rewards you with bright eyes and excitement when you come back.

New Year, Snow and Detox Promises
It has been shown that the most common of all resolutions is to lose weight after the madness that is Christmas. Mince pies for breakfast, followed by a turkey and stuffing sandwich for elevenses plays havoc with non elasticated waist bands. Oh… just me then??? Right…

For the Seventh Bake of Christmas…
It was bitterly cold on Saturday night when I was getting in, so I was quick about putting on my PJ’s and a fluffy hoody and snuggling up on the sofa with a steaming hot cup of tea and some Sticky Gingerbread, courtesy of Nigella’s Christmas.

On the Sixth Bake of Christmas…
I cheated a little and didn’t really bake anything. Or cook for that matter.

For the fifth bake of Christmas…
I arrived laden down with goodies, all of which will feature in the coming posts. However, the ones that I found myself eating the most were the Christmas Morning Cranberry Muffins. They are so simple to make, and cook in 20 minutes.

For the Forth Bake of Christmas…
They are all very very excited about a certain Mr Claus visiting and tell me at every opportunity just how many sleeps are left until C-Day. They usually leave lovely cookies out for Santa, and a glass of milk. Of course, when we were little it was a couple of biscuits and some brandy or some whiskey. But we all know how important it is for Mr Claus to stay safe while conducting his world tour and driving a sleigh.

For the Third Bake of Christmas…
I have never had reason to be at the airport at Christmas before but always felt a pang of emotion when the TV shows reunions in arrivals halls. Silly as it may sound, I was a little jealous of not having someone who would come home and need meeting at the airport.

On the Second Bake of Christmas…
They start to make their way into the shops around mid November with the rest of the Christmas decorations, food, goodies but you daren’t eat them until at least the 8th December. However, every time I eat a mince-pie, I wonder why they aren’t eaten all year-round. I would eat them every day (if I thought that I wouldn’t gain an ounce of weight, but that isn’t going to happen!)

The 12 Bakes of Christmas….
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….. not the puppies that I was hinting at last week. I have been told that they are not part of my present that is currently hidden in the attic. I am afraid of the attic therefore he knows it is safe up there!
