December is here - Some lower carb recipe ideas

My goodness! 
December is here! 

Have you done any Christmas shopping yet? You may be one of our organised readers that have even finished and wrapped all of their presents ... but not me, at least not yet. Perhaps you've made a start on Christmas Food Preparations? 

One thing that is always part of Christmas in our house is The Poinsettia, at least one ... if not more are purchased, and they do look so warm, cheerful and welcoming dotted around on tables, shelves etc. Of course there are many varieties available but for me my favourite is the wonderful RED ones, they are brilliant. We also have some cheery Father Christmas 'wooden' ornaments and decorations and they sit well together on the hall table ! If you'd like to find out more about these wonderful plants please have a look here

There's also an idea for a Pomegranate Rosemary Spritzer, treat. It's a deep pink Prosecco cocktail with savoury herbal notes and is a really simple way to add sparkle to your Christmas preparations and gatherings ... see here

And how about this!

The Best Low Carb Christmas Pudding Ever …. Well probably !

This recipe was put on our blog in 2013

My words then were:

No I don’t drink 'Carlsberg' but I guess the play on words is quite similar ?

However, I do think that for YOU out there who are following a low carb high fat lifestyle this Christmas Pudding recipe is one to be recommended.

Of course each to our own, but isn’t choice an amazing thing !

The slightly worrying aspect of posting this is - I’ve just realised that Christmas Day is getting so near  - I don’t know where the year has gone, but it‘s certainly flown by.

I pity Father Christmas and his Elves who are so busy getting everything ready …….. well so my grandchildren tell me.

Hope you all enjoy the Christmas Pudding, please see details here
