Instructions to make Merry Christmas! Tree Shaped Gratin Pie:

1. Cook the eggs to make boiled eggs. While they are boiling, wash the shrimp and drain. Finely chop the onions, cut the king oyster mushrooms in half lengthwise and then cut into 2 cm pieces. Rip the broccoli apart into small pieces, and boil in salt water. Alternatively wrap the broccoli in plastic wrap, and steam-cook in the microwave.
2. Make the sauce: Mix the ☆ spices and the flour together. Place butter into a frying pan and melt it over a low heat, add in the ingredients marked ☆, and sauté well. Add in the milk a bit at a time, and keep cooking the sauce until it thickens. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and turn off the heat.
3. Prepare the gratin ingredients: Put cooking oil in another frying pan and roast the cumin in it. Add the onions once the cumin is fragrant, and sauté until soft. Add the king oyster mushrooms and shrimp to the pan in the order listed and sauté. Add the white wine, bring to a boil, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
4. Add the sauce from Step 2 to the Step 3 pan, give it a quick stir. Turn off the heat. Leave to cool.
5. Preheat the oven to 190 °C.
6. Making the pie crust: Spread out plastic wrap on a cutting board, place the thawed puff pastry sheet on top, and cut in half vertically.
7. Flip one side over as shown in the photo and overlap both pieces a bit to form a Christmas tree shape. Brush the overlapping part with beaten egg, stick the pastry pieces together and roll flat with a rolling pin. Poke the pastry several times with a fork. Make another piece in the same way that's slightly larger then the first one.
8. Leave 1.5 cm around the edge of the smaller piece of dough (for the overlap), and mound the filling from Step 4 on top.
9. Cut the boiled egg into 8 wedges and the cherry tomatoes in half. Place the egg, tomatoes and broccoli on top of the pie. Fill the gaps with cheese here and there.
10. Cut about 8 slits into the other piece of dough. Brush the edges of the bottom piece of dough with beaten egg. Gently place the dough with the slits on top of the Step 9 bottom pie half, and pinch the edges all around with your fingers. Turn the pinched edges under the pie to clean up the tree shape.
11. Brush the whole pie with beaten egg. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30~35 minutes to finish!

Discover How to Boost Your Mood with Food

Many of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must stay away from them. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be really nutritious and good for you. There are some foods that, when you consume them, could better your mood. When you feel a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, would you believe, are wonderful for helping you battle depression. You should be sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. Every time you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Eat a couple of eggs to jolly up!

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all good for raising your mood. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of it in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a fantastic source of protein.

If you want to beat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids and DHA are two things that improve the quality and the function of your brain’s gray matter. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can earnestly boost your mood.

Grains can be good for overcoming a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are fantastic at helping you feel happier. They help you feel full as well which can actually help to make your mood better. Feeling starved can really make you feel awful! These grains can elevate your mood because it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. You digest these foods faster than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel happier, mood wise.

Your mood could really be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be in here somewhere, right? Green tea is rich in a specific amino acid referred to as L-theanine. Studies have discovered that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps improve your mental sharpness while relaxing the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you become better. And now you know it can help raise your mood as well!

You can see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are not good for you to feel better! Try some of these instead!
