Over the weekend we had the pleasure of bringing a little christmas cheer into our home. We listened to carols. Put up our tree. Strung beautiful, twinkling, white christmas lights. And adorned the place with a collection of our favourite christmas decorations and ornaments. Miss G. loved it.

spinach & ricotta pie
Spinach and ricotta pie is an all time family favourite of ours but I don't make it often enough because I loath dealing with fiddly pastry.

In the hope of cheering my lovely little lady up and get her eating once again I decided to stir together a little happiness by way of pancake batter this morning.
