I wish you a Marry Christmas! In two it starts! I have bigos, tested few cakes, even made a white Pavlova Christmas tree with a fake sugar snow. I have a tiny list of dishes to make, nothing big, only ones me and Tomasz like, so we can make Mia like them as well. It will be: “eat this or nothing!” or… I’ll prepare whatever else you want (motherhood…). I don’t get too crazy for Christmas, unless we have guests over. This year we don’t. It’s just three of us, plus 2 cats, plus two cats of neighbours. We have a tree, not a Christmas one yet, because Mia doesn’t get an institution of dressing a tree. She loves undressing it, so whatever I put on it, she takes off and place in her box (she has one for everything she finds in our apartment, in many cases keys included). Mia is on a sick leave from kindergarten, so she has a lot of time to undress our tree.
Each year I have a problem with presents. It’s mostly because I buy things when I need them and I never know what others need. The tricky part is, that when you ask, people don’t tell you, they say that I don’t need to get anything or I can buy whatever I like. Not helpful! I love handmade presents, especially one you can eat.
This year someone asked me what I wish for. And this is a serious question. So I started to answer it:
– I wish for Mia to be happy, to feel free to experience, to do things and to love me kissing her chubby chicks constantly,
– I wish I didn’t worry so much about the future, as since I’m a mom I think about it too often,
– I wish to read all the books I bought during this Christmas (I know it won’t happen already),
– I wish I didn’t need to sleep, which means I can work, spend time with my family and have time for myself,
– I wish for people to stop being angry, as I can see how it spreads around on everyday basis,
– I wish for honesty, because it’s easy and awesome,
– I wish for a bed under my mattress, shelf on my kitchen wall and new lock so I can finally open a drawer with shoes.
That’s pretty much it. What do you wish for?
The recipe is delicious, easy, and awesome! It will make a perfect Christmas breakfast, you can prefer the dough night before and just bake it in the morning. It’s not too sweet as I didn’t add syrup or honey, but I like it this way. If you prefer it sweeter, add some honey 
YOU WILL NEED FOR 8-10:
- 1 and ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup potato flour
- ¼ cup palm sugar
- 125g cold butter
- ½ cup seeds like pumpkin, sunflower, finely chopped
- 1 egg
YOU WILL NEED FOR THE FILLING:
- 250g mascarpone
- 1 orange – juice and zest
- pinch of saffron
- mint for serving
- pistachios for serving
- more orange zest for serving
Place dough in between a baking paper and roll it. Cut our round shapes and place in forms. Bake in 180*C for about 20 minutes.
Let your tarts cool and meantime prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix mascarpone with an orange juice and zest, add some saffron. Place tablespoon of the mix in each tart, decorate with mint, pistachios (you can fry them a bit) and some orange zest.
Enjoy, Marta
