The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day of The same but different 🏡 Yesterday was a day off for me, thanks to my company offering everyone a day off to celebrate a new financial year 🙌🏻 So I spent it tryinggggg to declutter and get those rooms sorted - will it be done before the next #transformationtuesday 🤔
Naturally I’m knackered today so it was a nice change to be bound to a laptop. Kick started the day with some classic High School Musical 😂 How’s your Tuesday been?

We had a busy one, sorting through some of the junk we carried through the move, and finally get those must keep items stored in our loft space! I am a little gutted I’m not showing you a transformation of the two spare rooms, but it’s not long now, just a couple more boxes to sort and some things to sell and we will finally have a 3 bedroom house!

Rhodie thoroughly enjoyed his zoomies  round the garden, especially once we took the fence back so he had more room to run! Doesn’t he just look so happy. All he wanted was us all to be in the garden all day!

The grass is certainly longer and more established The grass is certainly longer and more established since this snap from early January. 🌿 Despite Rhodie being a little naughty and pulling a few chunks of lawn up in first few weeks, the lawn is going well. 
But as sunshine starts to appear, our next project is fast approaching - our garden! I have some high hopes for our long garden plot, including a larger patio and some much needed privacy. I didn’t think I would be, but I’m rather excited to get green fingered, and hopefully create a inviting outdoor space 🌿 Any advice for our rather daunting blank canvas? I’d love to hear any ideas!

I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 Y I am so stoked that our loft is now BOARDED!🌿 You know how it is, those childhood mementos, wedding day cards and the odd air loom just have no other place that somewhere safe, like a loft. It’s something we completely underestimated, but we managed to find someone to undertake the work and we can see the light on our current mess that is upstairs! 
Yes, I thought he was coming on Friday, and yes he did get a fright when I opened the door yesterday morning in my dressing gown, but hey ho, it’s done and I didn’t know I could be so bloody excited for some plywood in a loft!

Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our loun Did you see it? ✨ The moody new blue in our lounge? Dunno why but my colour transformation reel isn’t showing on my grid, but it’s still kicking my around. To say I’m in love with our new colour would be a understatement. Being a bit braver in our new home is coming together, just a few finishing touches to go! 
👈🏼 Swipe left to see the bland before!

Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and s Hello Monday 👋🏼 Our weekend was a slow and steady one. We found snow on our Saturday afternoon walk! And polar bear Rhodie LOVED IT 🐶 Sunday was a slow one too, with a mid morning walk, sweet treats and even some painting! Both me and my husband have the week off, and since the splash of colour yesterday afternoon, we seem a little more eager to get more colour in our home, pronto!

How was your weekend? What did you get up to?

Just a little snap shot from our bedroom ✨I can’t show much else in all honesty, since we still have clutter in boxes, and a tv currently living on a ladder step 🙈 But hey, my perfume collection looks just perfect for now!

It’s Saturday and the usual weekly shop is the only thing on the agenda. Maybe a quick pop to get some paint too? We both have a week off and whilst we will mainly be doing sweet F-all, we may just do some decorating!

Chicken, Leek and Bacon Pie- Wren Family Favourites campaign

I love cooking, and experimenting with my food. I have recently started to inject some of my love for food in my blog, so when I was approached and asked to take part in the Wren Family Favourites campaign I was over the moon.

Having been asked for a family favourite or a nostalgic meal, I thought I’d go for a twist on a favourite staple food and classic childhood meal, I hope you like!

Chicken, Leek & Bacon puff pastry pie top with mini Cheese and Onion Rostis.
What you’ll need : 
  • 400g Chicken mini breast fillets
  • 12 Bacon Rashers
  • 1 Leek
  • 2 Packets of White Sauce
  • 1 pint of semi skimmed milk 
  • 1 packet of pre rolled puff pastry
  • 2 Peeled Potatoes 
  • 1 Onion
  • Mature cheese to taste

Method :

Firstly – Cut your chicken into reasonable chunks and fry in a pan. You want there to be plenty of filling under that puff. Season your chicken to taste and stir occassionaly.

Secondly – Cut your bacon into small rashers and fry in a pan. Season to taste, if you fancy it! 

Thirdly – Wash and cut your Leek. I prefer to have fairly big chunks, but if you prefer, cut into small cubes. Once cut, bring to a simmer in a saucepan. 

Fourthly – Make your white sauce. Depending on your packet, will depend on how much milk you’ll need. Just stir in your milk and packet mix on a low heat until thick in consistancy. 

Once your sauce is thick, chicken is brown, bacon crispy and leeks are soft, combine all in a bowl, making sure the sauce covers all your filling. 

Pour into a shallow dish and level across. Place your puff pastry on top and press on the edges of your dish. Make sure it is sealed and pierce two holes in the top. Your pastry will puff so don’t worry if it droops a little. Egg wash to give it a golden bake.
Cook in your oven at 190c for 20 – 25 mins.

Onto your Rostis :

Firstly grate your peeled potatoes, onions and cheese into a bowl. Mix together with a spoon. 

Secondly Place a frying pan on a high heat and splash in some oil. 

Thirdly Bind all together in a bowl with one egg. Season to taste and start creating small parcels in your hands. Watch out, this will get messy! 

Fourthly Put your parcels straight into the pan. Turn occassionaly until lightly brown on both sides. 

Once brown, be ready to plate with your puff pastry pie!
 

I have been incredibly lazy with my pie, but you can always make your own white sauce or puff pastry. You can even add a little more variety with your pie and spice up your fillings. Another favourite is Turkey and stuffing, especially round the festive season.

You can also add extra to your rostis too, but just make sure its able to stick.

This is one of my favourite dishes and incredibly light. Pies used to be a massive meal in my childhood, so to make it and adjust to my taste is something I do often.

What do you think? Is this something you’d make yourself? Maybe you have a recipe I should try. I’d love to know, so why not comment below.
