I can't stop making these pea patties. I've been so busy the last few weeks that I'm exhausted by dinner time and I just want to whip up something quick and easy. I seem to be making the same things over and over again, but when they taste as good as good as these patties I really don't mind, and the hubby doesn't complain either...
Jamie Oliver's Everyday Super Food book review - plus I'm sharing his Spelt Spaghetti, Vine Tomatoes and Baked Ricotta.
White potatoes has such a bad reputation now, along with bread, rice...etc, but I don't see anything wrong with eating potatoes every now and then as part of a balanced diet. True, sweet potato is better for you as it offers an impressive serving of vitamin A which white potato lacks, but it's still a good form of carbohydrate to include in your diet.
I know I'm not alone when I say this - I'm obsessed with avocados! Another thing that I love is bruschetta - the crispy bread it's served on, the flavours and the simplicity of the idea! I've made simple tomato and basil bruschetta many times, then one day it occurred to me, why not add avocado? It made perfect sense.
These fries will change your life! Well not really, but if you're trying to be healthier but still want to enjoy chips or 'fries' from time to time (or everyday!) then this might just make your life a little bit brighter.
Crispy and golden on the outside, soft in the middle and an absolute delight to look at! You won't want to go back to plain potatoes ever again!
Guacamole goes with everything: salads, vegetables, meat, in sandwiches...I make so many different variations all the time depending on what ingredients I have, but mostly how lazy I'm feeling! Usually, I'll scoop a ripe avocado onto a plate, mash it with a fork, add lots of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of pepper and call it 'Guacamole'. It tastes so good and fresh simply like that, but if you're having Mexican food (say Fajitas!) then you have to do it properly.
I feel that Brussels sprouts are neglected all year round apart from Christmas. I can only find them locally around this time and it makes me sad, because I LOVE BRUSSELS SPROUTS! I realise not everyone shares my passion for the humble sprout and I guess I can understand why. I always used to boil or steam my Brussels sprouts which I must admit did get boring after a while. That's before I discovered roasting them instead!
