It takes 5 minutes to throw together, and you can even make it an hour or two ahead, so you can grab it out of the fridge when you’re ready to serve everything up....
What comes to mind when you think of Tuscan food? For me it’s Mediterranean style ingredients, grown under bright sunshine like tomatoes, olives and peppers. Lush dark green leaves, heart-healthy beans and pulses. A cuisine that makes the most of vegetables, but can also include simply prepared meats and tangy or creamy, indulgent cheeses. I’m suddenly feeling the need to go on holiday!!! Unfortunately we haven’t got any holidays abroad planned any time soon, so I’ll have to prepare some of those Tuscan flavours at home....

Warm and comforting - it’s like having a thick and filling hot chocolate, but without all the added sugar! Plus you can drink it for breakfast.

As with every year, it’s not until the last minute that I realise that I don’t have a single merry photo of Dozer and I to send out to wish everyone Happy Holidays.

I think they like having something a little unusual instead of boring old bread for sandwiches....
