It may not seem like much but this post is about a Bucket List goal achieved as I have always wanted to go to Wembley to watch a football match. I'm not a massive die hard football fanatic but I enjoy watching football.

Chicken and mushroom pie is my all time favourite pie but I have a confession, I have never had a traditional English Pie, Mash and Liquor.. it is on my list of things to do! But for the time being a homemade pie is my next best thing, I'm not a fan of buying the shop made pies as you can never be sure what type of meat has been used or have control on the amount of salt used. This recipe is so easy to follow and using puff pastry instead of short crust makes it quicker and easier to make.
Growing up I loved my Mother's winter soups. Autumn/ Winter is my Mums favourite time of the year and it really reflected in her cooking as she would make completely different meals for me and my sisters. She would cook stews, different types of soups and Turkish soups and more comfort food style meals served with warm breads and rice.
Halloween may be over but it is still pumpkin season and if you love vegetables like butternut squash you will love some pumpkin in your winter dinners. Pumpkins can also be used in sweet dishes and this recipe is on of my favourite Turkish pastry treats, filled with pumpkin, raisins, rice and sugar, it makes the prefect filling for some bread like pastry bakes that are perfect with a nice pot of tea during the autumn/ winter months.
I've mentioned before how much we love chicken in our house and this was the same growing up. My Nene and Mum would always use chicken in all their cooking, whether it was chicken wings to create a broth for homemade soups or roasted chicken of some sort. This recipe is one that reminds me of my childhood, Roasted Chicken Thighs, Turkish Cypriot style! This recipe is so easy to make and you can just leave it to cook in the oven for hours and it makes the house smell so delicious. If you like more red meat in your diet this recipe can be used with Lamb Necks, which is another dish my Mum would make.
We love fruit in our house, we have fruit snacks all the time. Melis is really into baking at the moment and she asked for some banana cakes, so we decided to make some muffins. We had so much fun making these and they were so easy to make and very tasty. We enjoyed them as a treat with a lovely cup of Roobios tea.
Time literally got away from me the last few weeks and its been a whole month since I last blogged, I have been super busy with my babies and family things. This month beautybakingbella is back with new regular posts.
Here is a lovely dish that I threw together a few weeks ago and absolutely loved and was a winner with the whole family. It is so quick and easy to make and even my 9 month old loved it.
