2019.... trying to continue to bake as often as I can!

Having a go at making an Ecclefechan Tart for a belated Burns Night dinner this evening. I based this on Jamie Oliver’s recipe, with a Mary Berry pastry recipe, and a couple of additions to the filling! I mean, why follow a well known, trusted and respected chef’s recipe when you can do it 🐼 style?! 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 (I soaked the fruit yesterday evening.) Guess the test will be my Guinea pigs verdict later .... #ecclefechantart #burnsnight #dinnerwithfriends #mandapandabakes #mandapandaskitchen #baking #scottishfood #jamieoliver #maryberry #glenfiddichwhisky https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGPF62AsTu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qx9tmmkmhr44

This evening I made Mary Berry’s mincemeat tart. My parents both loved it, even though my Mum isn’t a fan of marzipan! It’s now gone on my list to bake for Christmas Day 2019! #maryberryrecipe #maryberrymincemeattart #maryberryschristmasparty #maryberrymincemeat #christmas2019 #mandapandabakes #mummyskitchen not #mandapandaskitchen (at Great Wakering) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTo4QXgW-3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15fmvejw7c8ft

This afternoon I have baked some fat free biscuits for our Jet 🐶 as he’s not allowed the usual Sunday treats I have previously bought for him. He’s on a VERY strict diet since the Pancreatitis ☹️ Here they are all ready to take over to Wakering for the Jet taste test! These goodies are based on a recipe found on Pinterest and made from carrot, banana, apple, flour and oats. #mandapandabakes #mandapandaskitchen #bakingtherapy #dogbiscuits
