Christmas Stuffed Butternut Squash

Roasted butternut squash stuffed with shallots & beetroot and finished with a pastry lid provides a delicious meat free option for vegetarian guests this Christmas time.

Do you have vegetarians coming for Christmas dinner this year?  Are you a little unsure what to serve that is not only straight forward to make but also looks good on the plate and tastes delicious too?

Cheat's Chocolate Orange Fudge

Made in a microwave and taking only a few short minutes, this delicious fudge is

far easier to achieve success with!

Fudge, fudge, glorious, fudge!  I adore fudge, it's probably safe to say that it's one of my favourite types of confectionary, and Chocolate Orange Fudge is certainly no exception; soft,  sweet and ... fudgey :-)

Side-by-Side Baking - Yorkshire Pudding

How much does resting a Yorkshire Pudding batter affect the final bake and eat?

Being a Yorkshire lass, the home of the fabulous Yorkshire Pudding, I thought it was about time that I included these beauties on Only Crumbs Remain!   However, rather than simply whipping up a batter and baking them in the oven, I thought I'd share it as one of my Side-by-Side Baking features.

Stollen

This traditional German bread, packed with fruit and marzipan, is often bought over the Christmas period.  It's straight forward to make and is certainly a treat not to miss out on!

Mmm, Stollen!  It's such a delicious Christmas treat, packed full of fruit, butter and marzipan, I can't quite believe that this is the first year that I've tried Stollen.  Truly it is!  It's passed me by for so many years, how I have managed to enjoy so many Christmases without a slice or two of Stollen I will never know.  It's even more remarkable given my love of marzipan!  I just love the stuff!  Now that I have tried this wonderful bread I can categorically say that it will feature in our family's Christmases for many a festive season to come.
