Festive Mugs | BLOGMAS DAY 21
 I love making things festive in my house, even the mugs! These Christmas-inspired mugs are so easy to make and will make your hot chocolate even more fitting for the holiday season. Why not prepare these the night before Christmas Eve and then enjoy them with my Peppermint White Chocolate recipe?

I’d love to see your creations! Tweet me your designs are @fessjarmer and i’ll share them!

Ingredients

White chocolate
Red and Green sprinkles, or create your own designs (I found mine at Home Bargains)

Method

1. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave (30 second blasts).

 

2. Dip the rim of the mugs in the chocolate.

 


3. Quickly dip the chocolate rims into the sprinkles. Place in the fridge to set.

 

 

And if you’re interested…

Easter Coconut and Vanilla Popcorn Slices

Usually Easter is a chocolate lover’s favourite time of year, but as there are always an abundance of chocolatey recipes going around, I thought I’d try and bake something a bit different! I originally found this recipe on Pinterest, on www.somethingswanky.com but I’ve mixed and changed it up a little […]

  • Palermo salad by @rachelaliceroddy for @guardianfeast - A brilliant recipe for using up any glut of tomatoes or green beans. I was craving Italian food since our trip recently, so had to give this recipe a try. It kept in the fridge for a couple of days and we had it with a couple of lunches - one day with a fillet of lemon sole and the other with fish cakes. The first day we had it just as it is - it’s actually very filling for a dinner on its own! . I saved a potato and a green bean aside for Joseph to try the next day. 🙌🏼 #weaningbaby #palermosalad #palermo #rachelroddyrecipe #rachelaliceroddy #guardianfeast #recipeaddict #foodobsessed #tomatoglut #tomatorecipes #italiansalad #foodbloggerlife #summeritalianrecipes #ukfoodie #recipeobsession
  • This little barrel of laughs is 6 months today!! Yesterday he had his first swing at Stratford Park and loved it, as you can clearly see! I thinks he’s going to be a bit of a thrill seeker like his Daddy and Uncles Diego @cantoni.alpi !! If he’s got their influence, there’s no stopping him 🙌🏼 #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #mumtribe #mumstofollow #mumbloguk #mummydiaries #parenthoodmoments #honestlyparents #honestlymothering #candidmotherhood #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #motherhoodisdarling #lifewithlittles #6monthsoldbaby #6monthstoday #halfwaytoayear #firstswing
  • Sweet potato purée + smoked mackerel + fried courgette + avocado. . I’m really enjoying sharing our weaning journey so far! I’m of course no expert but I’m having lots of fun! There are the downsides though. Weaning is a mind field when you got looking for info on what to do/how to do it. There are so many opinions, it’s hard to sort through them all! I’ve decided that I’m just going to do it our way. And hope for the best 😅😂 . Okay so I forgot that smoked fish is generally salty, so I won’t be giving this too often. The verdict was good though! The avo got smashed and the courgette nibbled. He’s had that purée before and I know he likes it. This time he had a few spoons and managed a tiny piece of the fish. He did gag though but I’m aware that’s normal when it comes to babies experiencing lumps for the first time. What did you first introduce lumps and textures to your baby? #weaningbaby #blwweaning #babyledweaningideas #bamboobamboo #weaningideas #weaninginspo #weaningjourney #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #mumtribe #mumstofollow #mumbloguk #mummydiaries #parenthoodmoments #honestlyparents #honestlymothering #candidmotherhood #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #motherhoodisdarling #lifewithlittles #learningcurve #purees #fingerfoods #weanin15 #smokedmackerel #fishforbaby
  • This little one is now sitting up properly on his own! He really started being able to a few days ago at my parent’s house in Wales, and now he’s fully doing it! I’m so proud! It makes things lot easier now too as he’s getting less frustrated and can play with his toys better. He’ll be 6 months on Sunday.. where’s the time going?! . And in other news... he’s gone down in his cot in his own room for the first time. Not holding my breathe but am very happy ... keep an eye on my stories for updates! #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #mumtribe #mumstofollow #mumbloguk #mummydiaries #parenthoodmoments #honestlyparents #honestlymothering #candidmotherhood #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #motherhoodisdarling #lifewithlittles
  • Puréed spinach + sweet potato roasted + roasted chicken. Verdict = sucked the chicken and it ended on the floor. Sweet potato was slightly tasted and mushed in his hand. A spoonful of purée was consumed and the rest was played with. This was a dinner we had last Sunday as we’re really trying to serve Joseph exactly what we have, plus a purée I may have prepared in advance (or a pouch if needed - either @ellaskitchenuk or @mylittlepiccolo - planning on trying @Babease soon). It may not always be finger foods. If I do a casserole for example, I might just purée it and not bother with finger foods, or give him some sliced fruit afterwards. I’m not saying that we are at any stage of Joseph actually accepting the food but it’s still early days and this is how we’re doing things currently. I just hope that it works and that he eventually eats something (although I’m aware that is not actually the aim until he’s 1 year old. However if this is the case, how will he get the much-needed vitamins he needs? Have been pondering this - any thoughts? #weaningbaby #blwweaning #babyledweaningideas #bamboobamboo #weaningideas #weaninginspo #weaningjourney #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #mumtribe #mumstofollow #mumbloguk #mummydiaries #parenthoodmoments #honestlyparents #honestlymothering #candidmotherhood #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #motherhoodisdarling #lifewithlittles #learningcurve #purees #fingerfoods #weanin15
  • R I C E S A L A D / I N S A L A T A D I R I S O | One of my fave Italian dishes, perfect on a hot, summers day. . We ate this on the last day in Italy, made by my Mother-in-law and needless to say, it was wolfed down! I’m going to share a rough recipe below as really it doesn’t matter on the quantity- . Mix together - Cooked carnaroli rice, chopped, boiled egg, tinned tuna, capers, pickled vegetables and small pickled onions, small pieces of wurstel. Serve cold. . We had ours with those delicious, homegrown Italian plums afterwards. If I’m missing one thing from Italy, it’s the delicious, sweet fruit. . Have you had rice salad before? Tag me if you make this recipe - would love to see! #ricesalad #insalatadiriso #nonnascooking #italianfood #italianfoodrecipes #lunchrecipes #foodie_features #foodobsession #saladrice #italianfruit #italianplums #plums #seasonalfruits #summerdishes #summerrecipes #homerecipes #homecookingisthebest #tophomecooking
  • This super cheeky monkey kept me up all of last night! I’m guessing it’s because of either the change of place and bed since Italy (much smaller than the snuzepod too) or the fact he’s teething/going through a leap. He ended up co-sleeping with me at 4:30 which is something he has never done before! Do you think it’s time we make the transition to his cot in his room? I’m ready to have my room back and not have to tip toe/disturb him, but I’m sad he won’t be next to me anymore! 😭 Any tips for getting over this? I know once it’s done it’ll become normal. Help please! #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #mumtribe #mumstofollow #mumbloguk #mummydiaries #parenthoodmoments #honestlyparents #honestlymothering #candidmotherhood #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #motherhoodisdarling #lifewithlittles #bormio #cottransition #reziahotel
  • And the baby led weaning journey begins (with a touch of purées on the side!) . We thought we’d start this morning with some scrummy Philadelphia toast fingers and some banana. Bambino didn’t really take to the banana - I think he struggled to get it off the plate, despite cutting it the way that makes it less slippy. He had a few sucks of the toast and threw the rest on the table. It’s a slow process! . We’re going to offer him some of our dinner tonight if the high chair arrives in time! . What I’d like to know is what else would you have given with this? What could I put in the third space on the @bamboo_bamboo.uk plate? Let me know below! . #weaningbaby #blwweaning #babyledweaningideas #bamboobamboo #weaningideas #weaninginspo #weaningjourney #parentbloggers #parentbloggersuk #mumtribe #mumstofollow #mumbloguk #mummydiaries #parenthoodmoments #honestlyparents #honestlymothering #candidmotherhood #thingsiwanttoremember #rememberingthesedays #motherhoodisdarling #lifewithlittles #learningcurve
  • AD | What a lovely surprise to come home from holiday to - a delicious box of @hotelchocolat chocs! 😻 . Anyone who knows me will know that I love baking. I have a Patisserie Diploma from Le Cordon Bleu, so this box of chocolates based on famous Patisserie bakes is perfect for me! I don’t get the time to bake as much now that I have a baby, so this makes for the most yummy alternative! . Did you know that Hotel Chocolat chocs contain no preservatives and more cocoa than sugar? 🙌🏼 That’s something I can get down with. No need to feel guilty when I sit down and indulge in these later after all my unpacking! What cake/dessert would you want to eat in chocolate form? I have my eye on the tiramisu choc 😻 . PS - The link in my bio will give you 10% off an order! And keep an eye on my stories to see an in-depth unboxing of these beauties. #morecocoalesssugar #hotelchocolatmoment #hotelchocolatpartner #zyperuk #chocolate #patisseriechocolat #besttypeofpost #parentbloggers #parentbloggeruk #zyperuk #hotelchocolat #lecordonbleu
