There are so many of them but the one I am working on today is getting the ingredients for mince meat. I have not been able to find the commercially made mince meat the past two years and my husband loves mince meat pie. So I have been making my own and it's been working. Merry Christmas all. Remember Father Claus is watching, be good. 🤩

Every Christmas I have been buying Mince Meat to make my husbands favorite mincemeat pie. The past two years it has been impossible to find in the store so I am making my own. Last year was the first year I did that and it was amazing. This year my sister sent me an old recipe book our mom had created. And guess what was in it? A recipe for Mince Meat. So here it is:

I hope you will join me in this group and start to share recipes together that are a huge part of our heritage. We cannot let them die. Thank you.

I grew up in a small Welsh village, spending my days in my grandmother’s tiny kitchen, watching her cook everything by heart — never a recipe in sight. I wrote down her dishes as she made them so they wouldn’t disappear, and now I’m sharing them here to keep our heritage alive.Cwtch & Cooking is my way of bringing those cozy Welsh memories to you. Pull up a chair — you’re part of the family now. ❤️

Today we honor the brave men and women who’ve served and sacrificed for our freedom. Your courage, strength, and dedication make this country what it is — and we’re endlessly grateful. ❤️ In Wales it's Remembrance Day and in America it's Veteran's Day, both celebrate the same brave souls who fought and are fighting for us. And a very special shoutout to the United States Marine Corps, celebrating its 250th birthday! 🎉💪 As the proud wife of a Marine (Semper Fi, Jimmy! ❤️), I know the discipline, heart, and grit that defines every Marine. Here’s to 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment! To every Veteran and their family — we see you, we thank you, and we salute you. 🙏🇺🇸
