Simple and in Season: December’s Round-up and January/February Shout-Out

January 3, 2017 by Katie Bryson 8 Comments

Simple and in Season - December round-up and January shout-out on feedingboys.co.uk
A belated Happy New Year from me! It’s January at last, time to shrug off that festive fug, stop grazing on rubbish and turn to a lighter and healthier approach. Are you making any changes this month? I’m going to give my liver a well-deserved holiday *gulp* by cutting out alcohol for a while and I’ll endeavour to include more fruit and vegetables in my meals. A fruit bowl and a big jug of water will be joining me at my desk, I’ll be sipping on peppermint tea in the evenings and getting out for even more of my long walks with those lush doggies of mine.

I’ve been impressed with the amount of vegan and vegetarian recipes that have been sent in to Simple and in Season over December. From inspiring ways with pumpkin to some fabulous ideas for veggie roast dinners there are plenty of ideas to keep you on the straight and narrow this month. Make sure you bookmark your faves for the weeks ahead.

If you’ve not heard of Simple and in Season before, it’s a link-up for food bloggers to celebrate cooking with seasonal ingredients. It’s a great way to discover what’s perfect to eat right now and for getting ideas for new things to try. If you’re stuck in a recipe rut, it’s fantastic for a spot of inspiration.

Easy Romanesco Pasta with Lemon and Garlic from Tin & Thyme for Simple and in Season on feedinboys.co.uk

Let’s kick off with a gorgeously Vegan way to pimp up your pasta from Tin & Thyme with her Easy Romanesco Pasta with Lemon & Garlic. The romanesco is first steamed, then fried with lemon and garlic. This tops the pasta and tomato sauce and is finished with a sprinkling of toasted flaked almonds – delish!

Make-ahead vegan mushroom gravy from Yumsome for Simple and in Season on feedingboys.co.uk

How to make mulled wine and cider on Yumsome for Simple and in Season on feedingboys.co.uk

I didn’t actually get around to making any mulled wine in December, I was truly in the cocktail zone, but Yumsome showed us how to make both mulled wine and cider in this lovely post.

Seitan and Prune Tagine with Cashews from Yumsome for Simple and in Season on feedinboys.co.uk

It’s the perfect time to enjoy a veggie stew, so why not make this Seitan and Prune Tagine with Cashews from Yumsome. It sounds super simple to make and is the kind of thing you could make a big batch of and freeze in portions for quick and healthy microwavable lunches to make a change from soup.

Vegan Nutella Cream Liquor by Yumsome for Simple and in Season on feedingboys.co.uk

If you’re a vegan than cream liquors like Baileys are off limits, but clever Yumsome, my Simple and in Season star poster this month, has created this amazing Vegan Nutella Cream Liquor. I’ll have to wait for wet February to try this one…

Pumpkin Mushroom Bowls from A Hedgehog in the Kitchen for Simple and in Season on feedingboys.co.uk

And A Hedgehog in the Kitchen is back with another incredible pumpkin recipe with her Pumpkin Mushroom Bowls & Brown Rice. I think this sounds heavenly and just the kind of food I want to be tucking into this month as I endeavour to clean up my diet after the Christmas indulgences.

Pumpkin Goat Cheese Quiche from A hedgehog in the kitchen for simple and in season on feedingboys.co.uk

This Pumpkin Goat Cheese Quiche from A Hedgehog in the Kitchen is made with puff pastry and looks totally sumptuous! You really cannot beat a home-made quiche to warm up with at this time of year. I like slicing it up and freezing off portions for lunch boxes that can defrost over the course of the morning keeping everything else chilled.

Cinnamon Streusel Cheesecake from A Baking Explorer for Simple and in Season on feedingboys.co.uk

GUIDELINES

Simple and in Season is a monthly food blogging event where you are invited to link up any of your seasonal recipe posts – anywhere in the world! Join a thriving community of home cooks who love to share their seasonal creations. Each month, there will be a round-up of all the entries.

  • All you have to do is come up with a dish using any seasonal produce you like (savoury or sweet) post it on your blog, add a link to this post mentioning Simple and in Season and linking to www.feedingboys.co.uk and then manually add the link to your post in the box on each month’s launch page (click the badge on my Blog sidebar to find the current host)
  • The linky will close on the 27th and a round up post featuring all the recipes entered will be posted at the beginning of each new month.
  • You can take inspiration from anywhere – adapt a recipe from your favourite cookbook, try something from a magazine, make up your own creation or share a family favourite. The usual rules apply when using someone else’s recipe, please either get permission from the author to post it or adapt it in some way stating how/why you’ve changed it.
  • Include any seasonal produce you fancy including fruit, veg, herbs, meat or fish.
  • Link as many recipes as you like. You can link posts entered into other blog events or carnivals as long as it involves a seasonal food item (and fits in with their rules).
  • The linky-up is open to anyone, anywhere, and although it will be nice to feature as much British produce as possible, it will be interesting to see what’s in season elsewhere.
  • By entering your link, you are giving me permission to add your photograph to the round-up. I will link back directly to your post when I include you.
  • If you have questions or problems, email me or leave me a comment in the comment box at the bottom of the post.
  • If you are on Twitter or Instagram, tweet your link/photo adding the hashtag #simpleandinseason or add me @cookingkt and I will re-tweet it.

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
