Now we are back to old clothes and porridge we thought it was important to give this important dish a mention.

40g of oats to 300ml of milk or other liquid is a single serving. We have a variety of seeds, nuts, dried fruits and spices in the #refillery - great for toppings

Looking for an easy stuffing for Christmas Dinner? Haggis is an excellent option.

For the quick and simple recipe visit our fb page. Make on the day or in advance and store in the fridge.

It is a family favourite and also tastes great the next day on a turkey sandwich.
