grape and cheese Christmas tree!

This is a fun project for a Christmas game night we had at home last night. It's easy to do and makes your party look so festive! 



  • Ingredients
  • Get some red and white grapes. 
  • Cheddar cheese cut up in dices.
  • A little bit of pepper for decoration cut up in slices. 
  • A biscuit with a star shape.






1. Place a line of cheese cubes and alternate with a line of grapes, each line of grapes of a different colour, and keep adding the layers up until you make a Christmas tree! 

2. Cant think of how else I can explain how to make this apart from adding photos so that you can look at it. 



3. Now add the pepper layers...and cut of the edges to make it look like beautiful red lace around the tree.



4. Now add the final magic touch! I added this star cookie I got in my cesta de Navidad. 




TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
                                              

enjoy your party!

Apple cider

I have a ton of recipes I've been meaning to post....
A crazy job schedule and a broken computer has meant no posting...sorry readers!

Here is a quick recipe I want to jot down  before I go to the gym that really impressed me! 

wow, so fast, and so good and BEST OF ALL: SO EASY!










  • Ingredients
  • Apple juice ( 1 litre)
  • Half a teaspoon (slightly more perhaps, like 60% of a teaspoon) of cinammon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (perhaps slightly more)
  • 1/4 of a cinnamon stick for every cup.
  • 1 slice of apple for each cup.





1. Stir the spices first in a little bit of the juice so that is all well dissolved.









2. Heat it up in the stove until it is almost boiling...stir well the spices!!!











3. Pour on glass with a little stick of cinnamon and a slice of apple.





 4. Pick a good movie and enjoy the night!  (and enjoy your Christmas lights if you have them!)














PS: I never went to the gym! bummer...
