batch of resolutions. However, if you're anything like me, the main resolution may be similar to the one decided upon last year, and possibly even the year before that. The most common one, which I'm sure many of us vow to on January 1st, is to eat less and move more. Never is this sentiment more concreted in my mind than after an indulgent fortnight of festive feasting. After many years of striving for smaller dress sizes it’s clear to me what I need to do. A little bit of regular exercise is essential and staying clear of cakes and snacks is paramount. It sounds so simple, doesn't it? However, experience reminds me, that keeping the hand out of the cookie jar can sometimes prove a little harder than it sounds, and sticking on the trainers, when all I want to do is collapse on the sofa, isn't an easy task either. If I’ve to have any hope of success with my New Year’s pledge I have to choose my lunch and dinner dishes carefully. My mealtimes are normally filled with nutritious dishes, and I know that this is essential to a healthier life. Certainly for me when I’ve enjoyed a nutritionally filling meal, I’m a little less likely to scoff a pile of biscuits after. This soup recipe I’m sharing with you today is one of my children’s favourites, and it happens to make a delicious lunch. Serve it with a few slices of brown bread and a little green salad for a satisfying, calorie-conscious meal. To anyone who’s en route to their health kick 2015, the very best of luck! \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;times new roman\u0026quot; , serif;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;

I imagine for anyone who has lost a loved one would agree that times that been the happiness can be struck with such sadness. \u0026nbsp;I am\u0026nbsp;privileged\u0026nbsp;to be surrounded by a fantastic family but there will always be a sadness in my heart for my loved one's who have passed.

The house is constantly busy and good humour is\u0026nbsp;guaranteed when family and friends all come together. Often a lot of planning and shopping is needed to organise a successful family get together, but with the fridge\u0026nbsp;packed with lots of lovely leftovers I normally try to include some of these ingredients when planning what to cook. I know that in recent years many people often opt for the 'anything but turkey' for their Christmas feast, but I must admit that I'm a\u0026nbsp;traditional\u0026nbsp;girl at heart and still have the urge to buy a turkey that can just about fit in the oven and enough ham to keep us in sandwiches for at least a good week after the big day. With the inevitable bowls of leftovers a little thought has to go into the post Christmas meal planning. \u003Cbr \/\u003EFor the past number of years I have served a Turkey and Ham Pie for St. Stephen's Day. It's perfect for using up any of the previous days leftovers, which can include vegetables and stuffing. Alternatively some cooked chicken would also be perfect in place of the turkey and ham. If I have some mash potatoes they work wonderfully as a pie topper otherwise a sheet of puff pastry goes nicely with the sauce.\u003Cbr \/\u003EI would have cream in my fridge almost every day of the week, as a little dash of it goes a long way in so many dishes. However around the Christmas season I'm sure there's not a fridge in Ireland that hasn't a pot of creamy goodness tucked away in there somewhere!\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis is a really delicious wholesome dish which is sure to warm you up over the holidays. It is scrumptious served with a plain green salad and I'm sure this pie would be welcome at any family meal.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-orZN-oijamw\/TtUpoWbQp1I\/AAAAAAAAB3I\/D4VrcBEgWYg\/s1600\/IMG_7216resize.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-orZN-oijamw\/TtUpoWbQp1I\/AAAAAAAAB3I\/D4VrcBEgWYg\/s640\/IMG_7216resize.jpg\" width=\"426\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ECreamy Christmas Leftover Pie\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003Eroux(to thicken)\u003Cbr \/\u003E25g (1oz) butter\u003Cbr \/\u003E25g(1oz) plain flour\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EFor the filling\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E50g (2oz) butter\u003Cbr \/\u003E200g(7oz) mushrooms, sliced\u003Cbr \/\u003E1 leek, sliced\u003Cbr \/\u003Esalt and pepper\u003Cbr \/\u003E800mls(1.5 pints) chicken\/turkey\/vegetable stock\u003Cbr \/\u003E200mls (7floz) cream\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E10 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped\u003Cbr \/\u003Esprig of fresh thyme\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003Eroux\u003Cbr \/\u003E2 teasp wholegrain mustard\u003Cbr \/\u003E100g(4oz) frozen peas\u003Cbr \/\u003E500g(16oz) cooked turkey\u003Cbr \/\u003E250g(8oz) cooked ham\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EFor the topping\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E400g(14oz) puff pastry rolled to 5mm thick\u003Cbr \/\u003E1 egg, beaten, to glaze\u003Cbr \/\u003Eor\u003Cbr \/\u003E1.5kg(3.5lbs) mashed potatoes\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMethod\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E1.
