Mozzarella and Bacon Pastries (homemade version of Greggs)

So how yummy are those cheese and bacon pastries you can buy at Greggs?? Pretty good I would say but at a cost of at least £1.30 for one they are pretty expensive.

Having seen a few people on facebook make their own at home, I though I would give it a go myself and see if I could do them.

My ready rolled puff pastry sheet was cut into six squares! So I grilled six slices of bacon and chopped up my ball of motzarella.

I then put a slice of bacon diagonally across each square then put two chunks of mozzarella on, then folded the opposite corners in towards each other and sealed with egg wash.

Twenty minutes in oven till golden brown.

Homemade vegetable soup

So now that winter is creeping in, homemade warm food is a must! 

Today I decided with the quantity of vegetables we had in, I would make up a batch of vegetable soup for lunch and also for the freezer.

This batch consisted of leeks, carrots, swed, sweet corn and onions. 

The carrots and swed were put in boiling water in one pan and the leeks, sweet corn and onion went into our wok with hot water.

 

Once they were soft they were laidled into our blender and blitzed to a purée.

Once it was blitzed it was poured into a large bowl to await serving.

It was totally yummy and plenty left to be frozen for another day.
